Starting now and continuing through to March, I'm going to be resisting the urge to start every blog post I write with whining and moaning about the seemingly never-ending season that is winter.
So let's just lay it on the table right now. Winter has me feeling totally burnt out. Why is it that humans don't hibernate again? Right now I want to sleep through 'til spring.
During times like this, fueling our bodies with healthy food is super important! Unfortunately, this is often when I'm least enthusiastic about cooking healthy food.
Luckily, whipping up this nutritious bowl requires very little enthusiasm. The potatoes, chickpeas, carrots, and zucchini are all roasted together on a single sheet pan leaving you free to complain about winter while you sauté the kale and whip up the delicious lemony-tahini-hummus dressing. In under an hour you'll be free to enjoy this bowl of hearty winter comfort food. ♥

This is one of the best power bowl recipes I've made and it's easy, too. I thought the spicing was terrific, although I used only a quarter of what was indicated because I didn't know how hot it would be, but I would put more in next time. I mixed up the Kale and sauce recipe a bit and added fresh garlic and lime juice to the sauce (I didn't have lemon juice) so I didn't add garlic to the kale and everything still turned out great. My husband and I are so excited to add this to our repertoire of recipes. Thank you!

This was delicious!!!!! THANK YOU!
I swapped sriracha for ground chilli, and the garlic/onion powder for garlic oil (as I am trying to avoid onion & garlic where possible due to IBS - Low FODMAP)
I also didnt have carrot or kale but added sweet potato - also instead put a bunch of spinach leaves at the bottom of my bowl, and then topped with the potatos, chickpeas and zucchini (which made the spinach at the bottom wilt) - covered in the hummus sauce
HEAVEN!!!!

I had to MacGyver a few things but turned out great! I only had sriracha carrot hummus and it was fabulous! I also used a balsalmic onion spice instead of plain onion powder. Also, Mrs. Dash garlic blend. I added a tbsp of sweet soy to the kale because mine was bitter even without the stems. Also added tiny bit of thyme to everything. So good! My 10 year old wanted just the kale lol. If you've never had carrot hummus it's a must try!

Looks great, wish the print version didn’t have ads. It printed 4 pages, could have been 1. Not very eco friendly

This is now a huge favorite for the whole family, vegetarians and omnivores alike! We triple the recipe for the six of us but otherwise make it without modifications. The two middle kids (teens) ask for it weekly.

This has become a family favorite, even for the omnivores! Thanks for the recipe.

My mom and I both have cancer and have been eating this so often! We love the variety of nutrients and spices and its delicious!! Thank you so much for helping us on our journey!
samar
I was looking for something easy and nutritious to make and im so glad I found this. At first I was hesitant cause I was too lazy to season everything separately but it was so easy. I love the variety of veggies and how delicious it came out!! Im gonna add this to my fave recipes 🙂

So fantastic! Didn't have hummus or tahini so just made veggie parts. My 3 kids and hubby loved it! Stuck inside during the pandemic has left time for exploring new recipes, an upside! "Find the good and praise it" as Alex Haley said. Thanks!
Brittany
I'm glad you enjoyed it! I think we're all cooking and experimenting a little more lately, I certainly am. I hope you're keeping healthy!
Alex
LOVE THIS! Love the flavors and the versatility! And so filling! Made this - sort of - for dinner tonight. My wife had started roasting potatoes and sweet potatoes by the time I got home so I used those instead of carrots. We just put salt, pepper, and olive oil on them. I steamed cauliflower instead of roasting zucchini. I heated a can of pinto beans instead of roasting chickpeas. I doctored some home-made hummus. And then I put avocado slices on top. OH. MY. GOD! The tartness of the kale balanced perfectly with the cauliflower. The hummus made an amazing dressing. All 4 of us lived it! Can’t wait to make this again. THANKS!!!!!!!!!

I have never left a post about a recipe that I have made, but for this one, I must. I just made this (I am eating it now) and am soooooo happy with all of the flavors that are coming through in my mouth!!! This recipe will definitely in rotation and going on my list for Thanksgiving 2020 (yes, I think that far ahead).

This was so good! I doubled it so my husband and I could have leftovers for lunch and it reheated well also! Would definitely make it again.

I'm so happy you enjoyed it! Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment and a review, I really appreciate it 🙂
Melissa
This was delicious! I made this last night for dinner for me and my non-vegan husband. He really enjoyed it too, so that's a big win! (He's super picky). I may make it again, but it was a lot of work because I didn't have hummus or tahini and had to make them both first. I used these really cool multi-colored potatoes from a local farmer's market here in Tokyo. It was beautiful!
★★★★★
Brittany
Oh yes I can see how that would be a lot of work if you need to make hummus and tahini first. I think you could freeze both for another time! Thanks for commenting Melissa!
Lisa
If I don’t have hummus, is there something else I can use to make the dressing? Thanks!

My best friend and I made this last night, after eating junk food all weekend. We both have access needs that make us suffer from tiredness among other things.
We made this, and it was DELICIOUS! We doubled the recipe for leftovers, and we loved it so much. We swapped the zucchini/courgette for sweet potato, and added it to the potato/chickpea mixture. The mixture of flavours and the hummus dressing are divine. I recommend to anyone!

Brittany
Wow, thank you SO much for this comment Abigail! I'm so glad you and your friend enjoyed it so much 😀
Melissa
Just found your site. Newly vegan (week long) and I was wondering if you may know of any sort of vegan nutrition tracker to make sure I am getting my daily intake of protein, calcium, iron, etc.
I was stressing about finding what to meal prep this next week but I'll definitely be making this for sure!! Thank you~
Brittany
Congrats on going vegan, that is SO SO awesome!! I'm not aware of any great vegan-specific nutrition trackers (someone needs to do that, it would be awesome!) but I know a lot of people just use the common ones like myfitness pal or cronometer to track their nutrients. Sorry I couldn't be of more help! I hope you enjoy eating vegan! (PS: Here's another bowl recipe that other people have really loved, and some ideas for meal prepping too!)
Melissa
Thank you so much and I really appreciate the speedy reply!! I currently am going through lunch and dinner ideas for the week and I cannot wait to try newer things! Thank you very much for the work you've put into your site and recipes!! (And new links!), it has been a bigger help in finding good looking tasty step-by-step meals~

This is such a great dish! I've made it several times, I had to sub some things, and used red & yellow bell peps with the carrots and omg yum. 🙂 Great textures and layers of flavor. Love your site, thank you so much!

Thank you so much Jen! Your substitutions sound delicious!

That's a good question!! Why don't humans hibernate?
Luci
Gosh I love food that's in a bowl - especially when it looks that good! Do you think any kind of red potato will work well? I live in the UK and my local supermarket basically has new potatoes, russet red potatoes, or "baking" potatoes!
Thanks!
Brittany
Hi Luci! If you can't find "Creamer potatoes", new potatoes or "baby" potatoes will be your best best!
April
I made this last night and it was very good! Love the combination of veggies and flavor.

Love it. What a perfect bowl for the winter months. That hummus dressing is calling my name. 🙂
Brittany
Thanks Janet!! The hummus dressing would be great on all sorts of things, sandwiches, wraps, salads, anything!
Taylor
Power bowls are my thing these days...I figure when all else fails, assort your fave veggies, a grain and a lean protein and you're good to go! And of course, a potato or two usually makes its way into the mix for me too 🙂 Looks delicious!
Brittany
Yep, I totally agree Taylor! Thanks for commenting! 😀
Heather McClees
This looks absolutely delicious. I love my greens, but I swear, potatoes are my favorite food!!! 🙂 I'm particularly loving all the different varieties in season now. They all taste so unique and lovely. Great recipe!:)
