Ingredients

Scale

Mixed Vegetables

  • 1 cup sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped
  • 1 cup carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 1 cup bell peppers, chopped
  • 1 cup Brussels sprouts, halved

Grain Base

  • 1 cup quinoa or brown rice, cooked

Tahini Sauce

  • 1/3 cup tahini
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Water (to thin sauce, about 2-4 tablespoons)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste

Additional Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped for garnish
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Vegetables: Wash, peel if necessary, and chop the vegetables into evenly sized pieces to ensure they roast evenly. Toss them in olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread them out on a baking sheet.
  2. Roast to Perfection: Roast the vegetables in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through for even caramelization and to bring out their natural sweetness.
  3. Cook the Grain Base: While the vegetables roast, cook quinoa or brown rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, fluff with a fork and keep warm.
  4. Whisk Together the Tahini Sauce: In a bowl, combine tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Add water gradually to thin the sauce to a creamy and smooth consistency. Adjust seasoning as needed.
  5. Assemble Your Glow Bowls: Place the cooked grains at the bottom of each bowl. Top with roasted vegetables, then drizzle generously with tahini sauce. Garnish with fresh herbs and any additional desired toppings.

Notes

  • Chop vegetables evenly to ensure uniform roasting without burning.
  • Roast at high heat to achieve caramelized and flavorful edges.
  • Allow the tahini sauce to rest for a few minutes to deepen its flavor before serving.
  • Store grains, roasted vegetables, and sauce separately for optimal freshness when meal prepping.
  • Try adding fresh pomegranate seeds or sliced avocado as creative toppings for extra color and texture.
