A quick and easy meal prep bowl featuring crispy roasted veggies, a nutty tahini drizzle, and nourishing grains, perfect for healthy lunches that are both indulgent and clean.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium carrot, peeled and sliced into sticks
  • 1 small head cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (extra virgin preferred)
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa or brown rice
  • 1 handful fresh spinach or kale (optional)
  • 3 tablespoons tahini
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2–3 tablespoons water
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large bowl, toss the carrot sticks, cauliflower florets, and sliced red bell pepper with olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until well coated.
  3. Spread the veggies on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and golden brown on the edges.
  4. While veggies roast, cook your grains according to package instructions (about 15 minutes for quinoa). Fluff with a fork and set aside.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt. Slowly add water, one tablespoon at a time, whisking until smooth and pourable.
  6. Assemble the bowls by starting with a base of quinoa or rice, add fresh spinach or kale if desired, top with roasted veggies, and finish with a generous drizzle of tahini sauce.

Notes

Use parchment paper or a silicone mat on the baking sheet for easy cleanup. Flip veggies halfway through roasting for even browning. Add water gradually to tahini sauce to achieve desired consistency. Store tahini sauce separately when meal prepping to avoid sogginess.
