# What You'll Need:

→ Vegetables

01 - 1 medium zucchini, spiralized
02 - 1 medium sweet potato, spiralized
03 - 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
04 - 1 cup baby spinach

→ Garnish

14 - 2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley or cilantro

# How To Make It:

01 - Spiralize the zucchini and sweet potato. For raw noodles, set aside immediately. For softer texture, sauté each separately in a nonstick skillet over medium heat with a light drizzle of olive oil for 2 to 3 minutes until tender-crisp.
02 - In a small mixing bowl, whisk together tahini, fresh lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, maple syrup or honey, and 2 tablespoons water. Season with salt and pepper. Add additional water one tablespoon at a time to achieve desired consistency.
03 - Divide spiralized zucchini, sweet potato, cherry tomatoes, baby spinach, and carrot equally between two serving bowls, arranging in sections or mixed as preferred.
04 - Top each bowl with 3.5 ounces sliced grilled chicken breast or prepared tofu.
05 - Drizzle tahini sauce evenly over the contents of each bowl.
06 - Top each bowl with 1 tablespoon fresh herbs and 0.5 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds.
07 - Serve immediately, gently tossing to distribute sauce throughout the noodles before consuming.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It comes together in under 30 minutes, which means you can actually make it on a weeknight without losing your mind.
  • The tahini sauce is silky enough to make raw vegetables feel like a treat rather than an obligation.
  • You get to customize it based on whatever's in your kitchen, so it never feels boring even if you make it twice a week.
02 -
  • Don't skip the toasting step for sesame seeds—raw ones taste like nothing, but toasted ones add a nutty complexity that makes the entire bowl taste more intentional.
  • The tahini sauce thickens as it sits, so make it right before you eat and keep extra water nearby to loosen it if needed.
03 -
  • Rotisserie chicken is a secret shortcut that adds smokiness and flavor without any actual work, and nobody will know you didn't grill it yourself.
  • Whisk your sauce in a mason jar and shake it vigorously—the extra air creates a lighter, fluffier texture that tastes more luxurious than something you just stirred in a bowl.
