Harissa recipes vary between countries and regions, but most include a blend of hot chile peppers (regular or smoked), garlic, cumin, coriander, caraway and mint or ginger. All are powerful spices that boost nutrition.

Ingredients
Roasted Veggies
  • 8 ounces broccoli florets
  • 8 ounces cauliflower florets
  • 1½ cups cooked chickpeas (equals one 15-ounce can)
  • ⅓ cup olive oil
  • 1 to 1½ tablespoons harissa dry spice seasoning (see notes)
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • ½ to 1 teaspoon fine sea salt or kosher salt
  • ½ to 1 teaspoon black pepper
Bowls
  • 2 cups chopped leafy greens
  • 2 cups cooked black or green lentils
  • 1 cup chopped green onion, or ¼ cup chopped red onion
  • ⅔ cup sliced radish
Toppings
  • Sliced lemon
  • Fresh cilantro
  • Crushed red pepper flakes
  • Garlic salt or garlic powder, to taste
  • Olive oil
  • Balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 425ºF. Line or oil a baking sheet.
  2. To make the roasted veggies, toss the broccoli, cauliflower, and chickpeas with the olive oil, harissa, garlic, salt, and pepper. Layer on a baking sheet and roast for 20 to 25 minutes.
  3. For the bowls, layer equal amounts of the leafy greens, followed by the lentils, green onion, radishes, and roasted veggies in each.
  4. Top each bowl with the sliced lemon, cilantro, red pepper flakes, and garlic salt. Drizzle each bowl with the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and a squeeze of lemon
Notes
Notes: If you don't have harissa seasoning, you can make your own. Mix together 1 tablespoon of hot paprika combined with ¼ teaspoon each of caraway seeds, cumin, garlic powder, pepper, sea salt, cinnamon, and ginger.
For added protein (non-vegan), toss chopped hard-boiled egg, chicken, or salmon on each bowl.
