Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400F (200C) and prepare 2-3 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
In a large bowl, combine sweet potatoes with chili powder and olive oil, then spread evenly on a baking sheet.
Toss brussels sprouts with 1/2 tsp cumin and place them on a separate baking sheet.
Next, mix cauliflower with the remaining cumin and turmeric, then arrange on another sheet. Season with salt and pepper, and bake for 25-30 minutes until tender.
In a pot, combine quinoa and vegetable broth, then bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce to a gentle simmer, cooking uncovered for about 10-15 minutes until the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let steam covered for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
For the sauce, whisk lime juice and hummus together, adding water for desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper.
To assemble bowls, layer leafy greens at the bottom, followed by quinoa, roasted vegetables, black beans, and cherry tomatoes. Portion out the hummus sauce and use it generously. Split avocados into portions and drizzle with lime juice to prevent browning. Top with cilantro if using, cover bowls, and refrigerate until serving.
