Instructions

  1. Pre-heat oven at 350°F.

  3. While that’s cooking add chickpeas, broccoli, sweet potatoes, 3 tablespoons avocado oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, the tamari or soy sauce, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic granules, oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and black pepper to a large bowl.
  4. Mix well and layer on two baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
  5. Bake 25 minutes or until sweet potato is fork tender. Remove from oven.
  6. When grain is done, remove from heat and rinse with cold water using a fine strainer since the teff is very small. Set aside.

  9. To make the dressing, place all ingredients in a highspeed blender and blend until completely emulsified. The dressing should be smooth and creamy.
