  3. Drizzle with 3 tbsp olive oil, sprinkle with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika, and toss to coat.
  4. Spread evenly and roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping once halfway.

2. Make the Crispy Chickpeas

  1. On a separate small sheet pan, toss chickpeas with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Roast alongside the veggies for 20–25 minutes until golden and crisp, shaking the pan halfway.

3. Whisk the Maple Dijon Tahini Dressing

  2. Slowly add warm water until the dressing becomes smooth and pourable.
  3. Season with salt and pepper.

Top with roasted vegetables, crispy chickpeas, and a generous drizzle of the Maple Dijon Tahini Dressing.
Finish with herbs, seeds, or nuts for texture.

💡 Tips & Variations

  • Add protein: Top with salmon, chicken, tofu, or falafel.
  • Make it spicy: Add chili flakes or cayenne to the dressing.
  • Meal prep-friendly: Everything keeps well for 3–4 days in the fridge (keep dressing separate).
  • More veggies: Sweet potatoes, cauliflower, or bell peppers roast beautifully too.
