Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Brussels Sprouts and Chickpeas
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- On a baking sheet, toss the halved Brussels sprouts and chickpeas with olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper.
- Spread everything into a single layer on the baking sheet to ensure even roasting.
Step 2: Roast the Brussels Sprouts and Chickpeas
- Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through to promote even browning.
- The Brussels sprouts should turn golden brown with crisp edges, and the chickpeas will become crunchy.
Step 3: Make the Maple Curry Tahini Sauce
- In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, maple syrup, curry powder, lemon juice, minced garlic, and salt.
- Add warm water gradually, whisking until you achieve a smooth, pourable consistency. If it’s too thick, add a bit more water as needed.
Step 4: Assemble the Bowls
- Start by adding a base of cooked quinoa or brown rice to each bowl.
- Top with the roasted Brussels sprouts and chickpeas.
- Add a handful of mixed greens (like arugula or spinach) if desired.
Step 5: Add the Finishing Touches
- Drizzle the Maple Curry Tahini Sauce generously over the vegetables and grains.
- Sprinkle the bowls with crushed pistachios for a crunchy, salty finish.
- Optionally, garnish with avocado slices or pomegranate seeds for added texture and color.
