14 - 40 g crumbled feta cheese (optional)
15 - 15 g fresh parsley, chopped
16 - 30 g toasted pine nuts or sunflower seeds

→ Maple Dijon Tahini Dressing

17 - 60 g tahini
18 - 15 ml maple syrup
19 - 15 ml Dijon mustard
20 - 15 ml lemon juice
21 - 15 ml olive oil
22 - 1 clove garlic, minced
23 - 30–45 ml warm water, to thin
24 - Salt and black pepper, to taste

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Preheat the oven to 200°C. In a large bowl, combine broccoli, Brussels sprouts, sweet potato, onion, and chickpeas with olive oil, garlic powder, oregano, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. 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.

# Additional Notes:

01 - Omit the feta cheese for a vegan bowl and check all packaged ingredients to ensure they are gluten-free if needed.
02 - Perfect for meal prep; store components separately and assemble fresh before serving.
