# Instructions:

01 - Crank the oven up to 400°F (200°C). In a mixing bowl, toss sweet potato cubes, broccoli pieces, Brussels sprouts, onion, and chickpeas with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper. Spread them out evenly on a baking tray. Roast for about 25–30 minutes, giving everything a flip halfway through, until golden brown and crunchy.
02 - In a small bowl, toss together tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic. Blend it well, adding a bit of warm water little by little until it’s as thick or thin as you like. Sprinkle in some salt and pepper for extra taste.
03 - Portion the roasted chickpeas and veggies into bowls. Sprinkle with toppings like parsley, olives, tomatoes, feta cheese, and crunchy nuts or seeds.
04 - Drizzle your tahini dressing right on top, grab a fork, and enjoy every bite!
