Method
Cook the Quinoa
- Rinse 1 cup of quinoa under cold water until it runs clear. In a pot, combine quinoa with 2 cups of water or broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes until fluffy.
Prepare the Veggies
- While quinoa cooks, chop bell peppers, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and red onion into bite-sized pieces. Toss them into a large mixing bowl with olive oil and salt.
Roast Those Chickpeas!
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Drain and rinse one can of chickpeas. Spread them on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil and spices of choice, then roast for about 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
Make Your Tahini Dressing
- In a small bowl, whisk together ¼ cup tahini with the juice of one lemon, garlic powder, and salt. Add water gradually until you reach your desired consistency—smooth but pourable!
Assemble Your Bowl!
- Start by layering quinoa at the base of each bowl. Then artfully arrange roasted chickpeas and chopped veggies on top.
Add Finishing Touches!
- Drizzle generously with tahini dressing over everything. Sprinkle fresh herbs on top.
