Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly oil it.

2

Toss chickpeas with diced roasting vegetables (zucchini, cherry tomatoes), 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and black pepper on the prepared sheet pan.

Roast vegetables and chickpeas for 25–30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until vegetables are tender and lightly caramelized.

4

While vegetables roast, cook grain according to package directions if not already prepared; drain and set aside.

5

Whisk together tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, warm water, and 1 tbsp olive oil in a bowl until smooth and pourable; season with salt and pepper.

6

Divide warm cooked grain between bowls. Top with roasted chickpea mixture and fresh raw cucumber. Drizzle tahini-lemon dressing over the bowl.

7

Finish with fresh parsley, chopped nuts or seeds, and optional crumbled cheese. Serve warm or at room temperature.
