# How-To Steps:
01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Rinse quinoa under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine quinoa, water, and salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
03 - In a large bowl, toss zucchini, bell pepper, onion, and cherry tomatoes with olive oil, oregano, cumin, and black pepper. Spread evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
04 - Roast the vegetables for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until tender and lightly browned.
05 - Toss chickpeas with olive oil, smoked paprika, and salt in a small bowl. Spread on a separate baking sheet and roast for 15 to 20 minutes until crispy.
06 - Whisk together tahini, lemon juice, water, garlic, and salt in a small bowl until smooth, adding more water if needed to reach a drizzling consistency.
07 - Divide cooked quinoa evenly into four bowls. Top each with roasted vegetables and chickpeas. Drizzle lemon-tahini dressing over each serving and garnish with fresh parsley, feta cheese if using, and a lemon wedge.
