Spring Buddha Bowl

I love buddha bowls because they are easy to make, and they are a well balanced meal!  This one features roasted spring vegetables and chickpeas in a silky tahini lemon sauce.  It is packed with fiber, protein and plenty of nutrients, and it makes the perfect weeknight meal! If you like another vegetable better than some of the ones used here feel free to swap them out for your favorite!
