Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

One 14-ounce can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
3/4 teaspoon spicy curry powder
4 teaspoons olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 small red onion (about 4 ounces), cut into 1-inch pieces
1 small sweet potato (about 7 ounces), peeled and chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
4 ounces medium cremini mushrooms, halved
1/3 cup fat-free Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon tahini
1 lemon
1 cup cooked quinoa
1/2 avocado, thinly sliced

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Toss the chickpeas with the curry powder, 1 teaspoon of the oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper in a medium bowl. Place on one side of a baking sheet. Arrange the onions next to the chickpeas, then the sweet potatoes and lastly the mushrooms. Toss the onions, sweet potatoes and mushrooms with the remaining 3 teaspoons oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a generous amount of black pepper. Bake until the chickpeas are a bit crunchy and the sweet potatoes are softened and starting to turn brown in a few spots, 25 to 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, whisk the yogurt, tahini and juice of half the lemon in a small bowl. Slice the remaining lemon into wedges.
Divide the quinoa between two bowls. Arrange half the vegetables and avocado slices on top of the quinoa, leaving a space for the yogurt in the middle. Dollop the yogurt in the empty space and serve with the lemon wedges.

Kosher salt
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 medium delicata squash (about 1 pound), halved lengthwise, or 1/2 acorn squash (about 1 pound), quartered, seeded, cut crosswise into 1/2"-thick slices
8 ounces cremini or button mushrooms, trimmed, sliced
1 small red onion, sliced 1/2" thick

1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon curry powder
2 cups baby greens, such as watercress or arugula

Preheat oven to 400°F. Cook grains with 1/2 tsp. salt according to package directions.
Meanwhile, whisk oil, pepper, cinnamon, and 3/4 tsp. salt with a fork in a large bowl. Add squash, mushrooms, and onion and toss to coat. Spread on a rimmed baking sheet and roast, tossing once halfway through, until vegetables are lightly browned and fork-tender, 25-30 minutes.
