Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 2 cups Brussels sprouts, halved
- 1 medium-large sweet potato, cut into 1-inch pieces (about 2 cups)
- 15 ounces chickpeas, canned, drained and rinsed
- Drizzle of olive oil or lemon juice or balsamic vinegar
- Dash of garlic powder
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- For the dressing:
- ¼ cup Dijon mustard
- ½ cup tahini
- ⅓ cup water
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons date syrup or maple syrup (or to taste)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or use a non-stick sheet.
- In a medium bowl, toss the broccoli, Brussels sprouts, sweet potato, and chickpeas with olive oil (or lemon juice), garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Use your hands to rub the seasoning evenly over the vegetables.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes. Toss the vegetables and roast for another 5 minutes, or until the sweet potato is tender.
- Change the oven setting to broil and cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until the Brussels sprouts are slightly charred.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, tahini, water, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Transfer the roasted vegetables to a large bowl and drizzle with the tahini maple dressing. Stir to coat and serve immediately.
Notes
- Ensure vegetables are cut evenly for even roasting.
- Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet to prevent steaming.
- For best texture, add dressing just before serving to keep chickpeas crispy and vegetables from becoming soggy.
- Store leftover dressing separately in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
