Instructions
Roast the Sweet Potato and Chickpeas
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). On a sheet pan, toss the sweet potatoes and chickpeas with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, the smoked paprika, cumin, and a big pinch of salt. Roast, tossing halfway, until tender and browned, 25-30 minutes.
Cook the Quinoa
Meanwhile, combine the quinoa with 1 1/2 cups water and a pinch of salt in a small pot. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer on low for 15 minutes. Rest 5 minutes, then fluff.
Roast the Broccolini
Toss the broccolini with a little of the remaining oil and add it to the sheet pan for the last 10-12 minutes of roasting, until crisp-tender.
Massage the Kale
In a large bowl, toss the kale with the rest of the olive oil and a pinch of salt. Massage with your hands for about 30 seconds, until softened and glossy.
Make the Tahini Dressing
Whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and a pinch of salt. Whisk in the water a spoonful at a time until pourable.
Assemble
Divide the quinoa between bowls. Top with the roasted sweet potato, chickpeas, broccolini, and kale. Drizzle with the tahini dressing and finish with black pepper.
