Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups mixed greens or baby spinach
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa or brown rice
  • 1 can (15 oz / 425 g) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 tbsp tahini
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp maple syrup or honey
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Water to thin dressing as needed
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: sliced avocado, chopped fresh parsley or cilantro, red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat chickpeas dry with a clean towel. Toss chickpeas with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. Spread on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 25-30 minutes, shaking pan halfway through, until golden and crunchy. Watch closely near the end to avoid burning.
  2. While chickpeas roast, rinse 1/2 cup quinoa under cold water. Bring 1 cup water to a boil, add quinoa, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
  3. Bring a medium saucepan of water to a gentle boil. Carefully lower in 4 large eggs using a slotted spoon. Boil for exactly 6 minutes for a jammy yolk. Immediately transfer eggs to an ice bath for 5 minutes. Gently peel eggs and set aside.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, maple syrup, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Add water a teaspoon at a time until smooth and pourable. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  5. Divide cooked quinoa or rice between four bowls. Top with mixed greens, then scatter crispy chickpeas evenly. Halve soft-boiled eggs and nestle on top. Drizzle generously with tahini dressing. Add optional toppings like sliced avocado, fresh herbs, and red pepper flakes.
  6. Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of textures. Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 2 days.

Notes

Pat chickpeas dry thoroughly before roasting to ensure crispiness. Use room temperature eggs and time boiling precisely for perfect soft-boiled eggs. Cool eggs immediately in ice water to stop cooking and ease peeling. You can use an air fryer to roast chickpeas faster (15-20 minutes at 400°F). Keep dressing separate if storing leftovers to prevent greens from wilting.
