Cookware

baking sheet pan · can opener · chef's knife · citrus juicer (optional) · colander · cutting board · grater (optional) · measuring cups · measuring spoons · mixing bowls · oven mitts · stirring spoon · tongs · vegetable peeler · whisk or fork

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F.
  2. Wash and dry the produce; skip arugula if it’s already pre-washed.
  3. Rinse and drain the chickpeas, then pat them dry and spread on a baking sheet.
  4. Peel, trim, and medium-dice the beets; add to the sheet with the chickpeas.
  5. Peel and medium-dice the sweet potato; add to the sheet as well.
  6. Drizzle the veggies and chickpeas with oil, then season with pepper, cayenne, coriander, and cumin; toss to coat and spread in an even layer.
  7. Roast, stirring halfway through, until the chickpeas are crisp and the vegetables are fork-tender, about 25 minutes.
  8. In a small bowl, zest and juice half of the lemon; whisk in plain Greek yogurt, tahini, and a pinch of salt to make the tahini yogurt.
  9. Juice the remaining lemon; whisk in oil, salt, and pepper to make the bright dressing.
  10. When roasted, toss half of the parsley with the chickpeas and vegetables on the sheet; set the rest aside for serving. Then toss the arugula with the lemon dressing in a separate bowl and coat lightly.
  11. To serve, spread the tahini yogurt on each plate, top with the dressed arugula, then add the chickpea–veggie mixture and the remaining parsley.

Two tips

  • Make ahead: roast the vegetables and chickpeas up to a day ahead and reheat gently before serving.
  • Serving idea: swap arugula for baby spinach or mixed greens if you prefer, using the same dressing and yogurt combo.
