Instructions
 

Prepare the Quinoa

  • Rinse ½ cup uncooked quinoa under cold water to remove bitterness.
  • In a saucepan, combine quinoa with 1 cup water and a pinch of salt.
  • Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 12–15 minutes, until the water is absorbed.
  • Fluff with a fork and set aside.

Roast the Chickpeas

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Drain and rinse ½ cup canned chickpeas, then pat dry with a paper towel.
  • Toss chickpeas with ½ tsp olive oil, ¼ tsp salt, ¼ tsp cumin, and ¼ tsp smoked paprika.
  • Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20–25 minutes, shaking halfway through, until crispy.

Steam the Broccoli

  • Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Place a steamer basket over it and add 1 cup broccoli florets.
  • Cover and steam for 5–7 minutes until tender but still vibrant green.
  • Remove from heat and set aside.

Make the Green Tahini Dressing

  • In a blender or food processor, combine tahini, parsley, cilantro, garlic, lime juice, water, salt, pepper, and maple syrup (if using).
  • Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust thickness by adding more water if needed.
