Vegan Greek Sheet Dinner Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 medium zucchini, sliced
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
• 1 red onion, sliced
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes
• 1 cup chickpeas, cooked or canned, drained
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• ½ tsp smoked paprika
• Salt & pepper, to taste

Dressing/Topping:

• 2 tbsp tahini
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp maple syrup
• 2 tbsp water, to thin if needed
• Fresh parsley, chopped

Optional Toppings:

• Vegan feta crumbles
• Kalamata olives
• Pine nuts

Instructions (with transition words):

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Meanwhile, prepare all vegetables and chickpeas.
2. On a large baking sheet, toss zucchini, bell peppers, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and chickpeas with olive oil, garlic powder, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Then, spread everything in a single layer.
3. Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway, so the veggies become tender and lightly caramelized.
4. While the veggies are roasting, whisk tahini, lemon juice, maple syrup, and water until smooth.
5. Next, drizzle dressing over roasted veggies. Also, sprinkle with parsley, vegan feta, and olives if using.
6. Serve warm with quinoa, rice, or warm pita bread. In addition, leftovers can be stored in airtight containers for 3–4 days.
