# How-To Steps:
01 - Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).

05 - Whisk together tahini, yogurt, lemon juice, remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until desired creamy consistency is reached.
06 - Divide the cooked quinoa among four bowls. Top with roasted sweet potatoes, sautéed chickpeas, fresh spinach, and avocado slices.
07 - Drizzle generously with tahini yogurt sauce. Serve immediately.
