    This golden rice bowl combines za'atar-roasted chickpeas and broccoli
    with turmeric-spiced rice, creamy tahini-dill sauce, and tangy
    pickled onions. Ready in 35 minutes, it's an easy vegan dinner with
    plant-based protein and fiber.

    Preheat the oven to 400?F. Line a baking sheet with parchment
    paper.

    Place the broccoli and chickpeas on the prepared baking sheet.
    Drizzle with the oil, za'atar, and 1/2 ts salt. Toss to coat.

    Roast for 18 to 22 minutes, until lightly browned.

    In a medium saucepan, combine the rice, 1-1/4 cups water, cumin,
    turmeric, pepper, and 1/2 ts salt. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce
    to a gentle simmer and cook for 12 to 15 minutes, until the water is
    absorbed. Let sit, covered, for 5 minutes before fluffing.

    In a small bowl, combine the tahini, lemon juice, garlic, dill,
    agave, the remaining 3 tb water, and 1/8 ts salt. Mix until smooth.
    The mixture might look thin at first, but keep mixing as it will
    continue to thicken. Taste and add more salt if desired.

    Serve the golden rice topped with roasted broccoli and chickpeas.
    Garnish with pickled onion and finish with a drizzle of tahini & dill
    sauce.
