Keto Veggie Bowl with Creamy Tahini Dressing
When we need a nourishing, veggie-packed meal that’s as beautiful as it is satisfying, we find ourselves coming back to this Keto Veggie Bowl with Creamy Tahini Dressing. It all started on one of those evenings when we had a drawer full of fresh vegetables, a craving for something wholesome, and little time to plan. The idea of building a vibrant, flavor-packed bowl came together effortlessly, and what really pulled everything into harmony was the rich, garlicky tahini dressing drizzled over the top.
This recipe is a celebration of seasonal flavors and hearty textures. The roasted delicata squash adds a touch of sweetness, while sautéed kale and garlic bring warmth and a slightly bitter contrast. Roasted bell peppers, red onion, and carrots round it all out with beautiful color and natural caramelization. We tie it all together with protein-rich boiled eggs and a bold sprinkle of za’atar to enhance the earthy notes.
We especially love making this bowl when we want something simple yet elevated. Whether it’s meal prep Sunday or a quick weeknight dinner, this bowl offers flexibility, satisfaction, and comfort. Everything can be roasted together on a single sheet pan, and the dressing can be made in advance to make mealtime seamless.
Whether served warm or at room temperature, this bowl has become a staple for days when we want to feel energized, nourished, and completely in tune with our keto lifestyle. It’s proof that wholesome eating doesn’t have to be complicated—and can still taste absolutely amazing.
