Ingredients
  

1 cup quinoa, rinsed

1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup shredded carrots

1 avocado, sliced

1 cup baby spinach

½ cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional for added protein)

2 tablespoons tahini

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions
 

Cook the Quinoa: In a medium saucepan, combine rinsed quinoa with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the water has been absorbed. Remove from heat and fluff with a fork.

    Prepare the Chickpeas: While the quinoa is cooking, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the drained chickpeas on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly. Roast in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until golden and crispy.

      Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, and a little water to reach your desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

        Assemble the Bowl: In serving bowls, start with a base of cooked quinoa. Arrange roasted chickpeas, cherry tomatoes, shredded carrots, avocado slices, and baby spinach on top of the quinoa.

          Add Feta: Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the bowl, if using.

            Drizzle with Dressing: Pour the tahini dressing over the colorful arrangement of ingredients.

              Garnish: Finish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for added flavor and presentation.
