Alright, let’s talk about substitutions. If you’re short on tahini, you can use almond butter or peanut butter for a twist! Got leftover veggies from last week’s grocery run? Toss those in! This recipe is all about simplicity and versatility, perfect for busy families!

Let’s Get Cooking!

Ready to assemble this delightful dish? Here’s how I make these Roasted Vegetable Tahini Bowls, step by step:

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). (This is when the magic starts!)
Chop the vegetables into bite-sized pieces. I usually go with about 1-inch chunks for even roasting. Toss them onto a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper yes, a couple pinches of each! Give it a good toss to coat.
Roast the veggies in the oven for about 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they’re caramelized and tender. I love that moment when they start smelling delicious, just heavenly!
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, and minced garlic. Add a splash of water, one tablespoon at a time, until it reaches a creamy dressing consistency. Honestly, it’s going to smell so good you might just want to eat it straight!
To assemble the bowls, start with a base of quinoa or rice in each bowl. Pile on those beautifully roasted vegetables (seriously, look at those gorgeous colors) and drizzle generously with your tahini dressing.
Garnish with fresh herbs it adds that extra pop of freshness. Serve warm, and watch your family’s faces light up as they dig in!

Serving & Storage Tips

Serving Suggestions

These Roasted Vegetable Tahini Bowls shine on their own, but if you want to elevate the experience, consider serving them with a side of garlic naan, crispy pita chips, or a simple green salad for some freshness.

Storage

Leftovers will keep in the refrigerator for about 3-4 days. Just store everything in an airtight container (trust me on this, it helps!) and you’re good to go.

Reheating Instructions

The best way to enjoy your leftovers is to reheat them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes. You can microwave them, but I find reheating in the oven keeps those lovely veggies from getting too mushy!

Freezer-Friendly

You can definitely freeze this dish! Just make sure to divide it into individual portions. It’ll keep in the freezer for about 3 months. When you’re ready to eat, let it thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.
