# Cooking Steps:

02 - Arrange sweet potato, bell pepper, zucchini, and broccoli on a large baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
03 - Roast vegetables for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway, until tender and slightly caramelized.
04 - While vegetables roast, rinse quinoa under cold water. In a saucepan, combine quinoa, water, and salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit covered for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
05 - For the tahini dressing, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, water, maple syrup, garlic, and salt until smooth. Adjust water to reach a pourable consistency.
06 - To assemble, divide quinoa among four bowls. Top with roasted vegetables and chickpeas. Drizzle with tahini dressing. Add avocado slices, pumpkin seeds, and fresh herbs if desired.
