# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 220°C. Chop carrots and cauliflower into bite-sized pieces. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray with oil. Arrange cauliflower and carrots in a single layer. Drizzle with olive oil and toss with garlic powder, oregano, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from oven, add lemon juice and chopped parsley, stir gently, and return to oven for an additional 5 to 10 minutes until golden brown.
02 - While the vegetables roast, line a second baking sheet with parchment paper. Rinse and drain the chickpeas and pat dry; discard any loose skins. In a bowl, toss chickpeas with olive oil, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated. Place chickpeas on half of the prepared baking sheet. Dice sweet potato and spread on the remaining half. Drizzle sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place sheet on the middle oven rack and roast for 20 to 28 minutes until chickpeas are crisp and sweet potatoes are tender.
03 - While vegetables are roasting, combine Greek yogurt, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, ground cumin, and salt in a food processor or blender. Blend for about 60 seconds or until the sauce is completely smooth. For a thinner consistency, add water one tablespoon at a time until desired texture is reached.
04 - Arrange a base of arugula or selected greens in bowls. Top with roasted sweet potatoes, cauliflower, carrots, and chickpeas. Spoon over the tahini yogurt sauce and finish with preferred toppings and an optional squeeze of lemon.
