# Instructions:

01 - Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and let it preheat. Mix the sweet potatoes, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, onions, and chickpeas in a large bowl. Coat them with olive oil, oregano, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, and some salt and pepper. Spread the mix onto a baking tray. Roast for about 25-30 minutes, giving it a stir halfway through, until it's golden and crisp.
02 - Put the tahini, Dijon mustard, maple syrup, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper into a bowl. Stir it all together with a whisk. Add a bit of warm water as needed to make it as runny or thick as you like.
03 - Grab the roasted veggies and chickpeas, and split them evenly into four bowls. Sprinkle on the cherry tomatoes, olives, feta (if using), parsley, and toasted seeds or nuts.
04 - Drench each bowl with the tahini dressing, dig in, and enjoy every bite!
