Ingredients
  • Greek Lemon Chickpeas:
  • ¼ yellow onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 15.5-oz can chickpeas, drained
  • ½ lemon, juiced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Tomato & Cucumber Salad:
  • 1 cup chopped tomatoes, seeds discarded
  • 1 cup chopped cucumber
  • ¼ cup chopped red onion
  • 2 Tbs. fresh parsley, chopped
  • ¼ cup red wine vinegar
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Vegan Tzatziki Sauce:
  • 1 cup vegan plain yogurt (I like Forager cashew yogurt)
  • 1 Tbs. fresh dill, or 2 tsp. dried dill
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 Tbs. lemon juice
  • 1 Tbs. lime juice
  • 1 Tbs. garlic powder
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • ⅛ tsp. black pepper
  • Roasted Potatoes:
  • 1 large Yukon gold potato or 1 medium sweet potato, diced
  • Salt and pepper
  • Etc.:
  • 4 cups watercress, baby spinach, arugula, or other leafy greens of choice
  • 2 cups cooked grain of choice (I chose brown rice)
  • Pita chips or pita bread
  • Lemon wedges for serving (optional)
  • Crumbled vegan feta (optional)
Instructions
  1. First, prepare the cucumber tomato salad. Stir all ingredients together in a small bowl. Taste and add salt and pepper as needed. Cover and place in fridge while you get the rest of the bowls ready.
  2. Preheat oven to 415 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment.
  3. Next, make the Greek lemon chickpeas. Heat a splash of water in a small pan over medium heat. Sauté the onions and garlic until translucent, about 5 mins. Stir in the rest of the ingredients, taste for seasoning, and heat until warm. Reduce heat to a low simmer and cover to keep warm.
  4. Toss diced potatoes with salt and pepper and spread out onto the lined baking sheet. Roast for 10 mins, toss, then roast about 10 more mins, until the edges are golden and crispy.
  5. While the potatoes are in the oven, whisk together the tzatziki sauce ingredients. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
  6. To assemble to Mediterranean power bowls, place a large handful of greens and about ½ cup of grains in the bottom of each bowl. Then add heaping spoonfuls of chickpeas, cucumber tomato salad, and roasted potatoes. Add crumbled pita chips or wedges of pita bread, vegan feta, tzatziki sauce, and a lemon wedge to each bowl, if desired.
