# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Cut carrots and cauliflower into bite-sized pieces. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly oil. Arrange cauliflower and carrots in a single layer, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with garlic powder, oregano, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
02 - Roast the vegetables for 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven, drizzle with lemon juice, and add chopped parsley if using. Return to the oven for an additional 5 to 10 minutes or until golden brown.
03 - Line a second baking sheet with parchment paper. Rinse and drain chickpeas, then gently dry with a paper towel and remove loose skins. In a bowl, toss chickpeas with olive oil, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Spread chickpeas on half of the sheet. Dice sweet potato, place on remaining half of the sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and black pepper.
04 - Roast chickpeas and sweet potato in the preheated oven on the middle rack for 20 to 28 minutes, until sweet potato is tender and chickpeas are crisp.
05 - While vegetables are roasting, combine Greek yogurt, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, ground cumin, and salt in a blender or food processor. Blend for about 1 minute until smooth. For a thinner consistency, gradually blend in water as needed.
06 - Spread tahini yogurt sauce in serving bowls. Top with arugula or greens if desired, then layer with roasted sweet potato, cauliflower, carrots, and chickpeas. Add additional toppings and a squeeze of lemon if desired. Serve immediately.
