This recipe doesn't have to be followed closely to be good. At its heart this meal is really just a pile of vegetables over brown rice with Tahini dressing a Sriracha drizzled over top. Feel free to substitute vegetables based on what you have available in your kitchen.

Prepare the dressing:
- Squeeze 1/4 cup of juice from a lemon
- Mix the lemon juice with the 1/2 cup of tahini, and 1/2 cup of water
- Add the diced garlic and Paprika
- Mix thoroughly
- Add salt and pepper to taste

Cook the rice:
- Rinse 2 cups of brown rice and cook. We use an Instant Pot but use whatever method you prefer

Prepare the vegetables:
- Preheat the oven to 400°
- Pour the chickpeas into a bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with Cajun spice, salt, and pepper. Toss until chickpeas are coated. Put the chickpeas on a sheet pan and stick in the oven until golden and slightly crisp on the outside
- Rinse asparagus and chop the ends off. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with a generous amount of salt and pepper. Put the asparagus on a sheet pan and stick in the oven until slightly wilted
- Drizzle the kernel corn with olive oil. Sprinkle with Cajun spice, salt, and pepper. Toss until kernels are coated, then put on a sheet pan and stick in the oven until golden
- Chop the carrots into quarters
- Dice the red pepper

Assemble by laying down a thick bed of brown rice. Dress with the raw and cooked vegetables. Pour a generous amount of tahini dressing over top, then a dash of sriracha to taste.
