Preparation

Preheat the oven to 400 °F (200°C).

Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Spread the chickpeas and broccoli on the sheet and mix with cumin, garam masala and olive oil. Place in the oven for 15 minutes until tender.

While the broccoli and chickpeas are roasting in the oven, place the eggs in a saucepan and fill with cold water until they are covered. Bring water to boil over medium heat, then lower heat and simmer 4 minutes for soft yolks (or 6 to 8 minutes if you prefer hard yolks.)

While cooking the eggs, in a bowl, whisk the yogurt with the olive oil, lemon zest and juice, maple syrup, cilantro and salt. Set aside.

At the end of cooking, rinse the eggs under running cold water before peeling and halving.

Divide equally among serving bowls the brown rice, chickpeas, broccoli, arugula, tomato, radish, avocado and the eggs. Then, drizzle with the dressing and sesame seeds.
