Paleo Roasted Vegetable Bowl with Tahini Dressing
A vibrant and satisfying Paleo vegetable bowl featuring roasted seasonal vegetables tossed in a creamy tahini dressing. Perfect as a standalone dinner or a side dish.
Ingredients
- 1 head Broccoli florets
- 1 head Cauliflower florets
- 1 large Sweet potato
- 1 medium Red onion
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1/4 cup Tahini
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2-4 tablespoons Water
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Preheat and Prepare
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. This will prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
Roast the Vegetables
In a large bowl, toss the broccoli, cauliflower, sweet potato, red onion, and Brussels sprouts with olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper. Spread the vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 30-35 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly browned, flipping halfway through.
Prepare the Tahini Dressing
While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the tahini dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, water, minced garlic, and maple syrup (if using). Add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dressing reaches your desired consistency.
Assemble the Bowls
Once the vegetables are roasted, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Divide the roasted vegetables among four bowls. Drizzle generously with the tahini dressing and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve immediately.
