Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss sweet potatoes, broccoli, and carrots with olive oil, turmeric, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Roast for 25–30 minutes until golden and tender.
Meanwhile, cook the base grains (quinoa, rice, or cauliflower rice) and sauté the greens if desired.
Prepare chickpeas by roasting with a bit of oil, turmeric, and cumin or use them cooked from the can.
Make the dressing: whisk tahini, lemon juice, ginger, maple syrup, turmeric, salt, and warm water until smooth and pourable.
Assemble the bowl: layer grains and greens, top with roasted veggies, chickpeas, avocado slices, and seeds.
Drizzle with the tahini dressing and serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Swap in other grains like wild rice or farro if desired.
Add grilled tofu, tempeh, or a soft-boiled egg for more protein.
Top with fermented veggies like kimchi or sauerkraut for gut health.
For meal prep, store dressing separately and add avocado just before serving.
