Method
 

Make the quinoa
  1. Cook the quinoa according to package instructions.
Make the air fried sweet potato
  1. Place the diced sweet potato into the air fryer basket. Air fry at 400°F for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket every 5 minutes, until puffed and crispy (being careful not to burn).
Make the crispy garbanzo beans
  1. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the garbanzo beans and sauté, stirring around often, for 5-7 minutes, or until crispy.
Prepare the veggie burger patties
  1. Sauté or grill the veggie burgers according to package instructions.
Prepare the remaining veggies
  1. Heat the corn and peas (or vegetables of choice) according to package instructions.
Make the sauce
  1. Stir together tahini, mustard, 2 tbsp (30 ml) maple syrup, and lemon juice in a small bowl. Stir in water, as needed, to reach the desired consistency. Stir in more maple syrup (up to 2 tbsp [30 ml] more) and salt and pepper to taste.
Assemble the bowls
  1. Chop the veggie burgers into bite-sized pieces. Distribute the quinoa into four bowls. Top each with an equal amount of sweet potato, crispy garbanzos, and other veggies. Top each with one chopped burger and a big drizzle of sauce. Serve immediately.
