Peel and cube the sweet potatoes. Pat chickpeas dry thoroughly with a towel.
Toss sweet potatoes with 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet.
In a separate bowl, toss chickpeas with remaining olive oil, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread on another baking sheet or the other side of the same pan if space allows.
Roast for 25–30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until sweet potatoes are golden and chickpeas are crispy.
While roasting, prepare your grains according to package instructions and chop the spinach or kale, avocado, onion, and cherry tomatoes.
In a small bowl, whisk together tahini and lemon juice. Add water as needed to thin the dressing.
