There’s something about fall that makes grain bowls feel like the coziest meal ever. Maybe it’s the roasted vegetables, the golden colors, or that comforting feeling of mixing everything together and getting a little of each flavor in every bite.
This Vegan Harvest Bowl is my go-to comfort meal when the air gets crisp. It’s layered with roasted sweet potatoes, crunchy chickpeas, and a bed of fluffy quinoa — all finished with a drizzle of sweet and tangy maple tahini dressing.
It’s colorful, nourishing, and ridiculously easy to make. The best part? It’s totally customizable. You can swap the grain, change the dressing flavor, or add roasted brussels sprouts, apple slices, or pecans for crunch.
Whether you’re meal-prepping for the week or serving guests something vibrant and wholesome, this bowl feels like autumn in every bite.
