01 - 2 cups mini broccoli pieces
02 - 2 cups Brussels sprouts, sliced in half
03 - 1 large sweet potato, diced into 1-inch chunks (approximately 2 cups)
04 - 1 can of chickpeas (15 oz), drained, rinsed, and fully dried with a towel
05 - Half of an onion, cut into thin strips
06 - 2 tablespoons of olive oil
07 - 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
08 - 1 teaspoon dried oregano
09 - Half a teaspoon of smoked paprika
10 - Half a teaspoon of ground cumin
11 - Salt and ground black pepper—sprinkle as you like

→ Mediterranean Toppings

12 - 1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
13 - 1/4 cup crumbled feta (this is optional)
14 - 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts or sunflower seeds
15 - 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, split in half
16 - 1/4 cup Kalamata olives, sliced into smaller pieces

→ Dressing: Maple Dijon & Tahini Mix

17 - 1/4 cup creamy tahini
18 - 1 tablespoon of real maple syrup
19 - 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
20 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
21 - 1 small clove of garlic, minced well
22 - 2-3 tablespoons warm water to make it the right thickness
23 - 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
24 - Salt and black pepper, adjust for your taste

# Instructions:

01 - Heat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Put the broccoli, Brussels sprouts, sweet potato chunks, onion slices, and dried-off chickpeas in a big bowl. Mix olive oil, garlic powder, oregano, cumin, smoked paprika, and sprinkle however much salt and pepper you want. Spread this out on a flat pan and roast it, stirring at the halfway mark, for 25-30 minutes until they go golden brown and crispy.
02 - Grab a small mixing bowl. Add tahini, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Slowly pour in warm water until you get the creamy-but-drippy texture you like.
03 - Separate the crispy veggies and chickpeas into a few bowls. Add sliced cherry tomatoes, chopped parsley, Kalamata olives, feta crumbles (if you want), and toasted pine nuts on top.
04 - Finally, pour the Maple Dijon Tahini magic over the bowl and start munching!

# Notes:

01 - Fits into a Mediterranean way of eating
02 - Leave out the feta cheese to make it 100% vegan
03 - You can prep this ahead and it’ll still taste great
