Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine the quinoa with 2 cups of water. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until the quinoa is cooked and the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
On a baking sheet, toss the diced sweet potato and broccoli florets with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Roast in the oven for about 20-25 minutes until fork-tender and slightly crispy, turning once halfway through.
Meanwhile, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cubed tofu and chickpeas to the skillet. Sprinkle with garlic powder, stirring occasionally, cooking until golden brown and crispy, about 8-10 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice and tahini to create a smooth dressing. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
To assemble the harvest bowls, evenly divide the cooked quinoa among four bowls. Top each with an equal portion of sweet potato, broccoli, tofu, chickpeas, and spinach leaves.
Drizzle the tahini dressing over each bowl and garnish with sliced avocado and pumpkin seeds.
Serve immediately and enjoy your nutritious high-protein harvest bowl!
