Poke holes in sweet potatoes and wrap them in foil.

Bake sweet potatoes in the oven until fork tender to help steam them.

Peel the sweet potatoes and coin them.

Season the sweet potato coins with salt, pepper, and garlic.

Rub the sweet potato coins with olive oil on a baking tray.

Bake the sweet potato coins at 350°F and check them after about 20 minutes.

To cook quinoa, mix it with chicken broth in a pot and cover it.

Bring the chicken broth and quinoa to a boil, then reduce heat to low until cooked through.

In a skillet, add chickpeas with salt, pepper, and olive oil to crisp them up.

Add cooled quinoa to the skillet with chickpeas to begin toasting it.

If the skillet is dry, add a tablespoon of olive oil.

After 20 minutes, check the sweet potatoes, stir them, and return them to the oven until desired crispiness is reached (about 45 minutes total).

In a blender, combine goat cheese (rind removed), Greek yogurt, fresh dill, a garlic clove, honey, salt, pepper, and lime juice; blend until smooth.

Taste the goat cheese mixture and adjust seasoning as needed, usually adding more salt.

Chop cherry tomatoes and leave them uncooked for a bright fruity note.

Serve the grain bowls with the prepared ingredients.
