Directions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- Wash and dry the produce; skip arugula if it’s already pre-washed.
- Rinse and drain the chickpeas, then pat them dry and spread on a baking sheet.
- Peel, trim, and medium-dice the beets; add to the sheet with the chickpeas.
- Peel and medium-dice the sweet potato; add to the sheet as well.
- Drizzle the veggies and chickpeas with oil, then season with pepper, cayenne, coriander, and cumin; toss to coat and spread in an even layer.
- Roast, stirring halfway through, until the chickpeas are crisp and the vegetables are fork-tender, about 25 minutes.
- 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.
- Juice the remaining lemon; whisk in oil, salt, and pepper to make the bright dressing.
- 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.
- 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.
