# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread cubed sweet potatoes evenly on the sheet. In a bowl, whisk miso paste, maple syrup, sesame oil, tamari, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger if using. Pour glaze over sweet potatoes and toss to coat. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until caramelized and tender.
02 -
Cook quinoa or chosen grain following package directions. Massage kale with a drizzle of olive oil and pinch of salt until softened. Roast or steam broccoli until tender. Prepare shredded carrots and chickpeas as desired.
03 -
Whisk tahini, lemon juice, maple syrup, and warm water until smooth. Adjust consistency with additional water if needed.
04 -
Place a scoop of cooked quinoa into each bowl. Layer kale or greens, broccoli, carrots, and chickpeas. Add a generous portion of miso-glazed sweet potatoes. Top with sliced avocado, sesame seeds, and fresh herbs. Drizzle with tahini dressing if desired.
