Method

1

Chop zucchini into 1-inch pieces and slice red onion into thin wedges. Dice or slice cucumber. Roughly chop fresh parsley.

2

Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss zucchini and red onion with 2 tbsp olive oil, 0.25 tsp salt, and a pinch of black pepper on a sheet pan.

3

Roast for 20–25 minutes, stirring halfway, until edges are lightly caramelized and vegetables are tender.

4

While vegetables roast, prepare grain if using fresh quinoa, farro, or rice according to package directions. If using precooked grain, warm gently in a pot with a splash of vegetable broth.

5

Divide warm grain between two bowls. Arrange spinach on top of each, then add roasted vegetables and cooked chickpeas.

6

Top with fresh cucumber, sesame seeds, and chopped parsley. Drizzle tahini-lemon dressing over the bowl and finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.

7

Serve warm or at room temperature. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper.
