  • Author: Imili Johnson
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

Scale

For the Roasted Brussels Sprouts & Chickpeas:

  • 2 cups Brussels sprouts, halved
  • 1 ½ cups canned chickpeas (drained and rinsed)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp cumin
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper

For the Maple Curry Tahini Sauce:

  • ½ cup tahini
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp curry powder
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • ¼ cup warm water (or more to adjust consistency)
  • ¼ tsp salt

Topping:

  • ¼ cup crushed pistachios

Optional add-ins for the bowl:

  • 2 cups cooked quinoa or brown rice
  • Mixed greens (arugula or baby spinach)
  • Avocado slices
  • Pomegranate seeds

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Brussels Sprouts and Chickpeas

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. On a baking sheet, toss the halved Brussels sprouts and chickpeas with olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Spread everything into a single layer on the baking sheet to ensure even roasting.

Step 2: Roast the Brussels Sprouts and Chickpeas

  1. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through to promote even browning.
  2. The Brussels sprouts should turn golden brown with crisp edges, and the chickpeas will become crunchy.

Step 3: Make the Maple Curry Tahini Sauce

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, maple syrup, curry powder, lemon juice, minced garlic, and salt.
  2. Add warm water gradually, whisking until you achieve a smooth, pourable consistency. If it’s too thick, add a bit more water as needed.

Step 4: Assemble the Bowls

  1. Start by adding a base of cooked quinoa or brown rice to each bowl.
  2. Top with the roasted Brussels sprouts and chickpeas.
  3. Add a handful of mixed greens (like arugula or spinach) if desired.

Step 5: Add the Finishing Touches

  1. Drizzle the Maple Curry Tahini Sauce generously over the vegetables and grains.
  2. Sprinkle the bowls with crushed pistachios for a crunchy, salty finish.
  3. Optionally, garnish with avocado slices or pomegranate seeds for added texture and color.
