Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 1 batch homemade falafels (or store-bought)
  • 4 large handfuls leafy greens of choice
  • 1 large beet, peeled and spiralized (see note)
  • 2 large potatoes, cut into sticks
  • Hummus

Tahini Dressing

  • 4 tablespoons tahini
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice (or white wine vinegar)
  • 2-4 tablespoons water to thin, as needed
  • 1 medium garlic clove, grated
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the fries into an even layer (make sure the sheet is not overly crowded or the fries won't get crispy). Toss with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Roast for 30 minutes or until lightly golden and crispy.
  • Meanwhile, cook the falafels using the recipe's instructions (or the package's instructions).
  • Prepare the dressing: in a small bowl or jar, whisk together all the dressing ingredients, except the water. Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time until it gets to your desired consistency.
  • Add a handful of leafy greens in each bowl. Add a spoonful of hummus of choice.
  • Top each bowl with the spiralized beets (or pickled beets), falafels, fries and tahini dressing.

Notes

If you don't own a spiralizer, you can serve this bowl with pickled beets or dice the beet and roast it with the fries.
I used a mix of baby kale and arugula in this bowl, but spinach, mixed greens, kale or other greens will work.
Customize this bowl by using your favorite vegetables and hummus.
