Ingredients
Roasted Potatoes & Chickpeas
- 5 medium gold potatoes (about 2-3″, cut into wedges, about 1 pound)
- 1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 2 teaspoons ground turmeric (divided)
- 1 teaspoon black pepper (divided)
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Sea salt, to taste
- 1/4 cup avocado oil or coconut oil
Quinoa & Greens
- 1 cup dry quinoa
- 2 cups chopped kale
- 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
Dressing & Toppings
- 1 large avocado, sliced
- 1/2 cup tahini
- 2 tablespoons agave syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for roasting the potatoes and chickpeas.
- Cut & Season Potatoes: Slice the potatoes into wedges and spread them flat on a large baking sheet. Drizzle or spray with oil, then sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of turmeric, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and salt to taste. Toss to coat evenly.
- Roast Potatoes: Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 15 minutes to start cooking and browning.
- Prepare Chickpeas: While potatoes roast, drain and rinse chickpeas thoroughly. Pat them dry with a towel to remove excess moisture.
- Season Chickpeas: Toss chickpeas in a mixing bowl with 1 teaspoon paprika and salt to taste, ensuring they are evenly coated for flavor.
- Add Chickpeas to Pan: Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Push the roasted potatoes to one side and spread the seasoned chickpeas on the opposite side.
- Roast Chickpeas and Potatoes: Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for an additional 10 minutes, until potatoes are tender and chickpeas lightly crisped.
- Cook Quinoa: Meanwhile, cook quinoa according to package instructions. Once cooked, stir in the remaining 1 teaspoon turmeric, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and salt to taste. Fluff with a fork and let cool slightly.
- Massage Kale: Wash and chop kale. Drizzle with olive oil and massage the leaves gently to soften and enhance flavor. Divide kale evenly among serving bowls.
- Make Dressing: In a bowl, whisk together tahini, agave syrup, crushed red pepper, and lemon juice until smooth and creamy.
- Assemble Bowls: Layer quinoa, roasted potatoes, and chickpeas over the kale in each bowl. Top with sliced avocado and drizzle with tahini dressing. Serve immediately and enjoy!
