1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

2 tablespoons tahini

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C).

    Roast Sweet Potato and Chickpeas: On a large baking sheet, spread the cubed sweet potatoes and chickpeas evenly. Drizzle them with olive oil, and then sprinkle smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper over the top. Toss everything together until well coated.

      Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are tender and golden, stirring halfway through.

        Prepare Quinoa/Rice: While the sweet potatoes and chickpeas are roasting, prepare your quinoa or brown rice according to package instructions.

          Make Tahini Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, salt, and a splash of water until smooth. Adjust consistency with more water if necessary.

            Assemble the Power Bowl: In a bowl, layer the cooked quinoa at the bottom. Top with the roasted sweet potatoes and chickpeas, followed by the fresh spinach or kale, sliced avocado, diced red onion, and cherry tomatoes.

              Drizzle and Garnish: Drizzle the tahini dressing over the assembled bowl, and garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro.
