Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (or 450°F for extra crunch). Gather a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  2. Wash and chop the broccoli, red bell pepper, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, and red onion into bite-sized pieces.
  3. Drizzle the vegetables with olive oil, then sprinkle in smoked paprika, garlic powder, ground cumin, salt, and pepper. Toss to combine and spread on the baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway.
  4. If making homemade hummus, blend chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, and garlic until smooth. For store-bought, scoop it into a bowl.
  5. Prepare quinoa, rice, or couscous according to package instructions. This usually takes 15-20 minutes.
  6. Spread a layer of hummus in each bowl. Add cooked grains if using, then top with roasted veggies. Optionally add feta, nuts, and herbs.
  7. Finish with a drizzle of olive oil and lemon wedges on the side for a zesty kick.
