Ingredients
Scale
1 cup cooked quinoa or farro
1 cup chopped broccoli florets
1 cup chopped bell peppers (any color)
1/2 cup chopped red onion
1/2 cup chopped zucchini
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons tahini
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon water
1/2 teaspoon maple syrup or honey
Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large bowl, toss the broccoli, bell peppers, red onion, and zucchini with olive oil, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through.
While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, water, maple syrup (or honey), and red pepper flakes (if using). Add more water if needed to reach desired consistency.
To assemble the bowls, divide the cooked quinoa or farro among serving bowls.
Top with the roasted vegetables.
Drizzle with the tahini lemon dressing.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
