# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
02 - On the first baking sheet, arrange broccoli, Brussels sprouts, sweet potato, and red onion. Drizzle with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp garlic powder, ½ tsp salt, and ¼ tsp black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
03 - On the second baking sheet, toss chickpeas with 1 tbsp olive oil, ½ tsp garlic powder, ½ tsp salt, and ¼ tsp black pepper.
04 - Roast both trays: vegetables for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway, until tender and golden; chickpeas for 15–20 minutes, shaking halfway through, until crispy.
05 - While roasting, prepare the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, maple syrup, and apple cider vinegar. Gradually whisk in water until dressing is smooth and pourable. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
06 - To assemble, divide roasted vegetables and chickpeas among bowls. Drizzle with dressing and serve warm.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The crispy chickpeas are genuinely snackable on their own and might not make it to the bowl
  • The dressing transforms whatever vegetables you have into something restaurant worthy
  • Leftovers actually taste better the next day when flavors have mingled
02 -
  • Drying chickpeas thoroughly with a clean towel before roasting is the difference between crispy and merely warm
  • The dressing thickens in the fridge and might look separated but whisk in a splash of water and it emulsifies again
  • Not all ovens roast the same so check your vegetables at 15 minutes and adjust timing accordingly
03 -
  • Slice vegetables into similar sizes so everything finishes roasting at the same time
  • Double the dressing and keep it in a jar for quick salads all week
