Instructions

Roasted Cauliflower

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.

  2. Chop cauliflower into bite sized pieces. Put in a mixing bowl and add lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cumin, salt and pepper.

  3. Mix until cauliflower is coated.

  4. Add cauliflower to a baking sheet with parchment paper and bake for 30 minutes or until cauliflower is tender.

Grains

  1. Add quinoa to a sauce pan with 3 cups of water. Bring water to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Allow quinoa to cook until all of the water is absorbed, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. Repeat this process with the spelt berries. Add spelt berries to 1 cup of water. Bring water to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Allow spelt to cook until all of the water is absorbed, about 20-30 minutes.

  3. Once both are cooked, combine and add garlic powder, salt and pepper.

Chickpeas

  1. Chop and saute onion, bell pepper and garlic cloves in a saute pan.

  2. Once soft, add cooked chickpeas, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt and pepper.

Tahini Dressing

  1. In a high powered blender, combine tahini, cashews, almond milk, lemon juice, cumin, salt and pepper.

  2. Blend until smooth and creamy. Add more almond milk as necessary.

Make Your Bowls

  1. Take a scoop of the grains and add to a bowl. Add a handful of roasted cauliflower, a spoonful of the chickpea mixture and drizzle the tahini dressing on top.

  2. Chop and toast almonds until golden-brown. Finish off your bowls by topping them with the toasted almonds and a sprinkle of parsley then serve.
