- 2 cup cooked quinoa

Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Preheat the oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, toss the peeled, seeded, and cubed pumpkin with avocado oil, cinnamon, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
-
Step 2.
Spread the seasoned pumpkin pieces in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast for about 30 minutes, flipping the pieces halfway through, until the pumpkin is soft and lightly caramelized.
-
Step 3.
While the pumpkin roasts, prepare the cooked quinoa, chickpeas, and Lemon-Tahini Dressing if not already made. Slice the red onion thinly and roughly chop the almonds.
-
Step 4.
Assemble each bowl: divide the roasted pumpkin, quinoa, chickpeas, arugula, sliced red onion, and chopped almonds evenly between two bowls. Drizzle each bowl with the Lemon-Tahini Dressing and serve.
