A hearty and nourishing Roasted Veggie Grain Bowl made with seasonal roasted vegetables, wholesome grains, and a tangy tahini-lemon dressing — perfect for meal prep or a healthy, satisfying meal.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked quinoa, farro, or brown rice
  • 1 medium sweet potato, cubed
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced
  • 1/2 red onion, sliced
  • 1 zucchini or yellow squash, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder or 1 clove minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons tahini or Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey
  • 1–2 tablespoons water (to thin dressing)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or a handful of arugula for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, toss sweet potatoes, broccoli, bell pepper, onion, and zucchini with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  3. Spread the vegetables evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 20–25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until tender and slightly caramelized.
  4. Meanwhile, cook your chosen grain (quinoa, farro, or brown rice) according to package directions.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and maple syrup. Add water gradually to reach your desired consistency.
  6. Once vegetables are roasted, assemble bowls: layer grains on the bottom, top with roasted vegetables, and drizzle with dressing.
  7. Garnish with chopped parsley or arugula before serving.

Notes

  • Use maple syrup instead of honey for a vegan version.
  • Try other grains like barley, bulgur, or wild rice for variety.
  • For added protein, include chickpeas, tofu, or grilled chicken.
  • Keep the dressing separate until ready to serve for meal prep.
  • Add spices like cumin or smoked paprika for extra flavor.
