# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It comes together in twenty minutes with no heat required, so your kitchen stays cool and your energy stays high.
  • The colors alone make you feel like you're doing something good for yourself, even before the first bite.
  • Every ingredient pulls double duty for flavor and texture, so nothing feels like filler.
  • It's endlessly adaptable depending on what's in your crisper drawer or what your body is craving that day.
02 -
  • Spiralized carrots release water as they sit, so if you're prepping in advance, pat them dry with a towel before building the bowls.
  • Tahini separates in the jar, so always stir it well before measuring or your dressing will be grainy and bitter.
  • The dressing thickens as it sits; whisk in a splash of water right before serving if it's turned into paste.
03 -
  • Toast your seeds in a dry pan over medium heat, shaking constantly; they go from perfect to burnt in seconds.
  • Use a microplane to grate the garlic directly into the dressing for a smoother texture and more even flavor.
  • If your tahini is old or separated beyond repair, warm it gently in the microwave for ten seconds and stir before using.
  • Prep all your vegetables before you start spiralizing so everything comes together quickly and nothing sits too long.
