Description

A flavorful and filling vegetarian bowl with roasted sweet potatoes, chickpeas, and a tahini dressing.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large sweet potato, peeled and cubed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  3. Spread the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes.
  4. Add the chickpeas to the baking sheet and roast for another 15 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and the chickpeas are slightly crispy.
