Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and line one or two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Divide the chopped broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots onto the bakings sheet(s). Add the canned chickpeas and spread everything in an even layer for baking. Spray the vegetables and chickpeas with a bit of avocado oil spray and season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle the pan generously with vegan parmesan/nutritional yeast.
- Transfer the pan to the oven and roast the broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, and chickpeas for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the veggies are golden brown and the chickpeas are crispy. Stir everything once halfway through baking.
- Add all of the “cheezy” tahini dressing ingredients to a high-speed blender and blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed to recombine. Set aside until ready for use.
- If preparing quinoa or grains for serving, makes these while the veggies are roasting.
- To assemble, plate the cooked grains (if using), and top it with the roasted broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, and chickpeas. Drizzle the vegetables with a generous amount of “cheezy” tahini dressing and serve immediately.
- Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to one week and reheat before serving.
