Ingredients
The vegetables:
- ¾ pound (12 oz.) sweet potato peeled & cut into ¾-inch pieces
- 2 cups cauliflower florets
- 2 large carrots peeled & cut into ¾-inch pieces
- 1 turnip peeled & cut into ¾-inch pieces
- 1 red onion each half cut into quarters through the root, then cut into chunks
- 2 ½ tablespoons olive oil divided
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- ¾ teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 (14 oz.) can chickpeas drained & rinsed
- 4 cups spinach leaves
The dressing:
- 3 tablespoons natural peanut butter preferably smooth
- 1 ½ tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 ½ tablespoon low sodium soy sauce (tamari for gluten free)
- 2 teaspoon agave nectar or honey (agave for vegan)
- ¾ teaspoon rice vinegar
- ½ teaspoon chili garlic sauce
- 1-3 tablespoons water
Instructions
The vegetables:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly coat two baking sheets with cooking spray (see Note below).
- In a large bowl, combine the sweet potato, cauliflower, carrots, turnip and onion. Pour in about ¾ of the olive oil and toss to coat.
- In a small bowl, stir together the turmeric, ground coriander, chili powder, kosher salt, garlic powder and ground ginger. Sprinkle about ¾ of the mixture over the vegetables and toss to coat.
- Place the chickpeas in another bowl and toss with the remaining olive oil and spice mixture.
- Divide the vegetables between the two baking sheets and roast for 15 minutes. Divide the chickpeas between the baking sheets and stir to mix with the vegetables.
- Switch the position of the baking sheets on the oven racks and cook for an additional 10 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
- Divide the spinach between 4 bowls, then top each with the roasted vegetable/chickpea mixture and 1 ½ tablespoons dressing. Serve.
The dressing:
- In a bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, lime juice, soy sauce, agave nectar, rice vinegar and chili garlic sauce. Whisk in another water to reach desired consistency.
Notes
The turmeric will turn light-colored baking sheets yellow, which happened to mine. However, with a little elbow grease, lots of soap and a splash of bleach, it came off easily. If you prefer, use darker-colored baking sheets.
