Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 1 ¼ tsp paprika
• 1 ¼ tsp onion powder
• 1 ¼ tsp garlic powder
• 1 ¾ tsp chili powder
• Salt and pepper (to taste)
• 1 large sweet potato (peeled and chopped, 3 cups)
• 350g green beans (trimmed and halved, 3 cups)
• 1 can chickpeas (rinsed and drained)
• Spinach (chopped)
• Quinoa (cooked)
• 4 tbsp olive oil
• Optional: avocado and basil (for topping)

Sauce:

• 2 tbsp Dijon-Style Mustard
• 2 tbsp honey
• ¼ cup olive oil
• ¼ tsp red pepper flakes
• 1 tbsp water
• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 250°C. Set out a very large pan. Prepare the seasoning mix by combining the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl and stirring together. Set aside.
2. Peel sweet potatoes and cut them into chunks. Trim green beans and cut in half. Rinse and drain chickpeas and thoroughly dry.
3. Place prepared sweet potatoes on the sheet pan. Add two tablespoons olive oil (25g) and half the seasoning mix. Toss to evenly coat all the potatoes; space out the potatoes so they don’t overlap (the more room they have, the better they will roast) and bake for 15 minutes in preheated oven.
4. Remove from oven and flip/stir the sweet potatoes around and move to one side of the tray. On the other side, add chickpeas, green beans, and remaining 2 tablespoons (25g) oil and remaining seasoning. Toss together and space everything out to have plenty of room to roast. Return to oven and bake another 15–20 minutes or until vegetables are crisp tender. Remove from oven and toss everything once more. Taste and add more salt if needed.
5. Meanwhile, prepare the sauce: Add all sauce ingredients to a small blender, season to taste with salt and pepper), and blend until smooth. (Make sure the honey doesn’t pool at the bottom; stir and reblend if needed). Transfer to a jar and place in the fridge while waiting on veggies.
6. Thinly slice (ribbon) the baby spinach and add to 4 bowls (add as much/little spinach as you’d like). Microwave quinoa according to package directions and divide it equally among the bowls. Drizzle a touch of dressing into each bowl and give it a quick toss. Divide roasted veggies equally among the bowls. Thinly slice or chop the avocado and add in equal parts to each bowl. Ribbon the fresh basil and add on top (to taste). Drizzle the sauce over each bowl (as much or as little as you’d like—there will likely be extra!)
7. Enjoy!
