Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons white miso paste
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups cooked quinoa
- 4 cups mixed salad greens

- 2 green onions, sliced
- 3 tablespoons tahini
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the miso paste, maple syrup, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and olive oil until smooth. Toss the sweet potato cubes in this mixture until well-coated, then spread them out on one of the prepared baking sheets.
- Pat the chickpeas dry with a paper towel. In another bowl, mix the chickpeas with olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, and salt, then spread them on the second baking sheet.
- Roast the sweet potatoes and chickpeas for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the sweet potatoes are caramelized and the chickpeas are crisp and golden.
- Meanwhile, cook the quinoa according to package instructions.
- In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, maple syrup, water, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
- To assemble, divide the cooked quinoa among four bowls. Top each with mixed greens, roasted sweet potatoes, crispy chickpeas, julienned carrots, sliced avocado, toasted sesame seeds, and sliced green onions. Drizzle with tahini dressing before serving.
