Instructions

Roast the chickpeas: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat the chickpeas dry with a towel, then toss with olive oil, cumin, paprika, turmeric, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, shaking halfway through.
Roast the veggies: Toss cauliflower florets and sweet potato cubes with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread on a separate baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway, until tender and lightly caramelized.
Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, and a little water to thin, if needed.
Assemble the bowl: Divide the cooked quinoa or rice into bowls. Top with roasted chickpeas, roasted veggies, red cabbage, cherry tomatoes, and cucumber.
Garnish and serve: Drizzle with tahini dressing and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

Add avocado for a creamy texture or roasted pumpkin seeds for crunch.
Make it spicier by adding a pinch of cayenne pepper to the chickpeas or veggies.
To save time, use pre-cooked quinoa or rice.
