Directions

  1. 1. Preheat the oven to 425°F.

  7. 7. Quarter the mushrooms and add them to the bowl.
  8. 8. Peel and mince the garlic and ginger; add them to the bowl along with oil, salt, and pepper; toss everything to coat, then spread onto a baking sheet in an even layer.

  10. 10. In the same bowl used for the veggies, toss the chickpeas with oil and soy sauce until well coated.

  12. 12. In the bowl, whisk together additional soy sauce, maple syrup, and chili-garlic sauce to make the sauce.
  13. 13. To serve, divide the quinoa among bowls, top with the roasted chickpeas and veggies, sprinkle sesame seeds, and drizzle with the sauce.

Two tips

  • Prep tip: cook the quinoa and roast the veggies earlier in the day and refrigerate for quick assembly.
  • Serving idea: finish with a touch more soy sauce or a light drizzle of sesame oil for extra flavor.
