Ingredients

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Toss chickpeas with 1 tbsp olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Spread on the baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes until crispy, shaking halfway through.
Meanwhile, cook farro (or quinoa) according to package instructions. Drain and let cool slightly.
In a small bowl, whisk together coconut yogurt, lemon juice, maple syrup, turmeric, ginger, and pink Himalayan salt to make your 'Sunset Glaze.' Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Prep toppings: shred cabbage, shave carrots into ribbons, slice avocado, halve tomatoes, and toast pumpkin seeds in a dry skillet until fragrant (about 2 minutes).
To assemble: Divide spinach among 4 bowls. Top with cooked farro, crispy chickpeas, cabbage, carrots, avocado, cherry tomatoes, and a sprinkle of pumpkin and pomegranate seeds.
Drizzle each bowl with the Sunset Glaze. Garnish with edible flowers for a vibrant, concert-inspired finish.
