# Guide to Cooking:

01 - Set the oven to 220°C and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
02 - Combine miso paste, maple syrup, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and olive oil in a bowl. Toss sweet potato cubes in the mixture until fully coated. Arrange evenly on one lined baking sheet.
03 - Pat the chickpeas dry with paper towels. Toss them with olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, and salt. Spread uniformly on the second baking sheet.
04 - Place both trays in the oven and roast for 25 to 30 minutes, turning halfway through, until sweet potatoes caramelize and chickpeas turn golden and crisp.
05 - While roasting, prepare quinoa according to package directions if not already cooked.
06 - Whisk together tahini, lemon juice, maple syrup, water, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt until smooth. Add additional water to desired consistency.
07 - Distribute cooked quinoa evenly among four bowls. Layer each with mixed salad greens, roasted sweet potatoes, crispy chickpeas, julienned carrot, sliced avocado, toasted sesame seeds, and sliced green onions.
08 - Drizzle the tahini dressing over the assembled ingredients and serve immediately.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - For optimal texture, pat chickpeas dry thoroughly before seasoning. Adjust dressing consistency with water as needed.
