- 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 2 large carrots, sliced

- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

- 1/2 cup tahini
- 1/4 cup lemon juice

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

- Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the vegetables are tender and lightly caramelized.

- Once the vegetables are done roasting, assemble the bowls. Start with a base of cooked quinoa or rice, then arrange the roasted vegetables on top.

- Serve immediately and enjoy your colorful, nutritious meal!
Helpful Tips
For a more crunch, you can add raw veggies like shredded red cabbage or sliced radishes. If you’re short on time, store-bought tahini sauce can be a great substitute. This recipe is highly versatile – feel free to use any seasonal vegetables you have on hand!
Storage Instructions
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Keep the tahini sauce separate to avoid the veggies becoming soggy.
Pairings
Serve this bowl with a refreshing cucumber and mint salad or a warm, hearty lentil soup. A cup of jasmine green tea makes an excellent, soothing drink to complement the flavors of this vibrant veggie bowl.
