Notes
For extra crispiness, add kale to the baking sheet with sweet potatoes for the last 5-10 minutes of roasting
Roasted chickpeas add protein and crunch - toss with oil and spices before roasting alongside sweet potatoes
Substitute pomegranate seeds with dried cranberries, chopped apples, or toasted nuts
Dressing can be made ahead and stored in refrigerator for up to 5 days
If tahini is too thick, add water gradually until desired consistency is reached
Bowl components can be prepped separately and assembled when ready to eat
Add hemp seeds, sunflower seeds, or pumpkin seeds for extra nutrition and texture
