For the Dressing:
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions:
- preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- In a baking tray place the onions and sweet potatoes on the baking sheet, turning the sweet potatoes cut sides up. Drizzle with olive oil, making sure the flesh of the sweet potatoes is well coated. Sprinkle with chili powder, salt, and pepper. Rub and toss to coat, and then arrange on the baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes.
- While the sweet potatoes cook, chop the broccoli or cauliflower. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and flip the sweet potatoes so that they are cut sides down. Push the sweet potatoes and onions to one side and add the cauliflower or broccoli to the open side of the tray. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper, and chili powder. Carefully toss to coat, and then return the baking sheet to the oven.and bake for an additional 20 to 25 minutes, until the sweet potatoes are soft and the other vegetables are crisp-tender.
- Meanwhile, boil an egg and keep it aside.
- Remove the tray from the oven and place the spinach on top of the vegetables. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with remaining salt and pepper. Lightly rub the spinach to coat, and then arrange in a single layer over the whole tray. Return the tray to the oven and bake for 5 additional minutes, until the spinach is very lightly crisp and softened. Remove the tray from the oven and set it aside to cool.
- While the vegetables are cooling, prepare the dressing: Add the lemon juice, tahini, garlic, cumin, and salt in a small mixing bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of hot water. Whisk to combine. Taste and add additional salt and up to 1/2 teaspoon additional cumin as desired.
- To serve: arrange the vegetables in a bowl and slice the hardboiled egg in half and place 2 halves on the bowl. Drizzle with tahini dressing and enjoy immediately.
