Why This Bowl is Anti-Inflammatory & Glow-Boosting
This roasted veggie and chickpea bowl isn’t just delicious—it’s designed to calm inflammation in the body and support radiant, healthy skin. Each ingredient plays a role in making this a true glow nourish bowl:
— Cauliflower & Carrots – Packed with antioxidants, vitamin C, and beta-carotene, these veggies help fight free radicals and protect skin from oxidative stress.
Carrots especially provide vitamin A, which supports healthy cell turnover for a natural glow.
— Sweet Potatoes – A rich source of fiber and vitamin A (in the form of beta-carotene), sweet potatoes help reduce inflammation while also nourishing skin health.
— Chickpeas – Full of plant-based protein and fiber, chickpeas support gut health, which is closely linked to reduced inflammation and improved skin clarity.
— Olive Oil – A staple of the Mediterranean diet, olive oil is high in healthy fats and polyphenols that fight inflammation and support heart health.
— Tahini Yogurt Dressing – Tahini provides calcium, magnesium, and healthy fats, while yogurt adds probiotics that support a healthy gut microbiome—another key player in keeping inflammation at bay.
— Fresh Herbs & Lemon – Parsley and lemon juice bring extra antioxidants and vitamin C, helping brighten skin and boost immunity.
When combined, these ingredients create a nutrient-dense, anti-inflammatory meal that not only keeps you full and satisfied but also leaves you feeling light, energized, and glowing from the inside out.

Instructions
1. Roast the Cauliflower & Carrots
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss cauliflower and carrots with olive oil, spices, salt, and pepper. Spread in a single layer and roast for 25 minutes. Remove, squeeze over fresh lemon juice, sprinkle parsley, and roast for another 5–10 minutes until golden.
2. Roast the Chickpeas & Sweet Potatoes
On another lined baking sheet, add chickpeas (tossed in olive oil and spices) on one side and diced sweet potatoes on the other. Roast for 20–28 minutes, until chickpeas are crispy and sweet potatoes are fork-tender.
3. Make the Dressing
In a blender or food processor, combine yogurt, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, cumin, and salt. Blend until smooth. Add a splash of water if you prefer a thinner consistency.
4. Assemble the Bowl
Start with a base of arugula or your favorite greens. Add roasted cauliflower, carrots, chickpeas, and sweet potatoes. Drizzle generously with tahini yogurt dressing and finish with your favorite toppings.
