Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Peel and dice sweet potatoes into 3/4-inch cubes.
  2. Step 2: In a large bowl, combine 2 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp harissa paste, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, and 1/4 tsp salt.
  3. Step 3: Add drained chickpeas and sweet potato cubes to the bowl, tossing until evenly coated with the spice mixture.
  4. Step 4: Spread mixture in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Step 5: Roast for 25 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until potatoes are tender and chickpeas are crispy.
  6. Step 6: Check for doneness by piercing a potato piece with a fork—it should slide through easily without resistance.
