Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Brussels Sprouts & Chickpeas
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts and chickpeas with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Ensure everything is evenly coated.
Step 2: Roast the Vegetables
- Spread the Brussels sprouts and chickpeas evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until the Brussels sprouts are crisp and golden, and the chickpeas are crunchy.
Step 3: Make the Maple Curry Tahini Dressing
- While the vegetables are roasting, whisk together the tahini, maple syrup, lemon juice, curry powder, garlic, and salt in a bowl.
- Gradually add water (1 tablespoon at a time) until the dressing reaches a smooth, pourable consistency.
Step 4: Assemble the Bowls
- Divide the cooked quinoa or brown rice into bowls.
- Top each bowl with a handful of baby spinach or mixed greens.
- Add the roasted Brussels sprouts and chickpeas on top.
Step 5: Finish with Toppings
- Drizzle the maple curry tahini dressing generously over the bowls.
- Top with sliced avocado and pomegranate seeds for extra color and flavor (optional).
- Sprinkle crushed pistachios over everything for a salty, crunchy finish.
