Ingredients
  

1 large sweet potato, peeled and diced

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon cumin

Salt and pepper to taste

4 cups fresh spinach or kale

1 avocado, sliced

¼ cup cooked quinoa (optional for added texture)

2 tablespoons tahini

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional for sweetness)

¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional for spice)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Roast the Sweet Potatoes and Chickpeas: In a large bowl, toss the diced sweet potato and chickpeas with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the sweet potatoes are fork-tender and the chickpeas are crispy.

      Prepare the Tahini Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, maple syrup (if using), and a couple of tablespoons of water to thin it out to your desired consistency. Add crushed red pepper flakes for some heat if desired.

        Assemble the Power Bowl: In a large bowl, add the fresh spinach or kale as the base. Top with the roasted sweet potatoes and chickpeas. If using, add the cooked quinoa for an extra layer of texture.

          Finish with Avocado and Dressing: Arrange the sliced avocado on top, then drizzle the tahini dressing over the bowl.

            Serve: Enjoy your Sweet Potato Chickpea Power Bowl warm, garnished with a sprinkle of extra crushed red pepper flakes if desired!
