Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 2 cups mixed vegetables (e.g., sweet potatoes, bell peppers, zucchini, carrots), chopped into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1–2 cloves garlic, minced (or roasted separately)

Tahini Sauce

  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2–4 tablespoons warm water (to adjust consistency)

Optional Additions

  • Cooked grains (quinoa, brown rice, or couscous) – about 1 cup
  • Fresh herbs (parsley, cilantro, or mint), chopped, for garnish
  • Seeds or nuts (toasted pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, or chopped almonds), about 2 tablespoons
  • Protein boost: grilled chicken, chickpeas, or tofu (amount as desired)
  • Spicy ingredients: harissa or chili flakes (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Prep and Roast Your Vegetables: Wash and chop your favorite vegetables into bite-sized pieces. Toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and tender.
  2. Prepare the Tahini Sauce: While the veggies roast, whisk together tahini, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, a pinch of salt, and 2-4 tablespoons of warm water until smooth and creamy. Adjust water amount for your desired sauce consistency — thick but pourable.
  3. Assemble the Bowl: Place a base of cooked grains or leafy greens into your bowl. Layer the roasted vegetables on top, then drizzle generously with tahini sauce. Scatter fresh herbs, seeds, or nuts on top for added texture and freshness.
  4. Final Touches: Optionally give everything a gentle toss or leave layered for presentation. Add a squeeze of lemon juice or a sprinkle of sea salt to brighten flavors before serving.

Notes

  • Cut vegetables evenly for uniform roasting.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan; leave space to ensure veggies roast instead of steam.
  • Roast garlic separately to avoid burning and to get a mellow flavor.
  • Use warm water in tahini sauce to make it creamy and prevent clumping.
  • Add lemon juice last to brighten the sauce.
  • Toast seeds or nuts to enhance crunch and nutty flavors.
  • Store leftover roasted veggies and tahini separately for up to 3 days in airtight containers.
  • Reheat veggies gently to keep crisp edges; add fresh tahini sauce before serving.
