# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat the oven to 200°C.

Toss well and spread in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast for 25–30 minutes, stirring halfway, until golden and crisp.
02 - In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, salt, and black pepper. Add warm water gradually, whisking until the dressing reaches a smooth, pourable consistency.
03 - Divide the roasted vegetables and chickpeas evenly among serving bowls. Top each with cherry tomatoes, Kalamata olives, feta cheese if desired, parsley, and toasted pine nuts or sunflower seeds.
04 - Generously drizzle Maple Dijon Tahini Dressing over each bowl just before serving and enjoy immediately.
