Description

A nutritious and vibrant grain bowl featuring roasted sweet potatoes, chickpeas, and a creamy yogurt-tahini dressing, perfect for a healthy meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup whole-grain sorghum or farro, rinsed
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, cut into 2-by-½-inch pieces
  • 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, divided
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander, divided
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 (15-ounce) can no-salt-added chickpeas, rinsed and patted dry
  • ¾ teaspoon salt, divided
  • ½ cup whole-milk plain strained (Greek-style) yogurt
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice (from 2 lemons)
  • 1 tablespoon tahini
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 3 cups spring mix salad greens
  • ½ avocado, thinly sliced
  • ½ cup crumbled feta cheese

Instructions

  1. Cook sorghum or farro according to package directions; set aside.
  2. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  3. Toss sweet potatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, ½ teaspoon paprika, ½ teaspoon coriander, onion powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Spread on a baking sheet.
  4. On a second baking sheet, toss chickpeas with 1 tablespoon olive oil, remaining paprika, coriander, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
  5. Roast sweet potatoes and chickpeas for 25–30 minutes, stirring halfway, until golden and tender.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk yogurt, water, lemon juice, tahini, mustard, ¼ teaspoon salt, and remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil to make dressing.
  7. Assemble bowls with cooked grain, spring mix, roasted sweet potatoes, chickpeas, avocado, and feta.
  8. Drizzle with yogurt-tahini dressing before serving.

Notes

  • For a vegan version, substitute the yogurt with a plant-based alternative like coconut or almond yogurt.
  • Feel free to swap feta with a dairy-free cheese if you’re looking for a vegan option.
  • Adding roasted seeds or nuts would give this bowl an extra crunch and flavor boost.
