Description

This vegan chickpea buddha bowl combines carrots, onions, parsnips, Brussels sprouts, chickpeas, and quinoa. Other veggies would also be good, too.

Ingredients

1 cup vegetable broth
1/2 cup red quinoa
1 3/4 cups Brussels sprouts
1/4 cup cubed carrots
1/4 cup peeled and cubed parsnips
1/2 red onion, chopped
2 teaspoons olive oil, divided
1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, drained and patted dry
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/4 cup tahini
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon maple syrup
5 tablespoons hot water
1 avocado, mashed

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2 Bring vegetable broth and quinoa to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender, about 15 minutes.
3 Toss Brussels sprouts, carrots, parsnips, and red onion with 1 teaspoon olive oil on a baking sheet until coated.
4 Bake in the preheated oven until softened, about 10 minutes.
5 Toss chickpeas with turmeric in a bowl. Heat remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chickpeas; cook and stir until browned, about 8 minutes.
6 Combine tahini, lemon juice, and maple syrup in a bowl until well incorporated; add hot water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until dressing is thin and smooth.
7 Divide quinoa, roasted vegetables, chickpeas, and mashed avocado between two serving bowls. Drizzle 1 tablespoon dressing over each bowl.
