Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss 1 can (15 oz) drained chickpeas and 1 large diced sweet potato (1/2-inch cubes) with 2 tbsp harissa paste, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper until evenly coated. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25 minutes, stirring halfway, until chickpeas are crispy and sweet potatoes are tender.
  2. Step 2: While vegetables roast, bring 1 cup vegetable broth to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup couscous. Cover and let sit 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
  3. Step 3: In a large bowl, combine roasted chickpeas and sweet potatoes with couscous. Drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil and 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice. Toss with 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley and 2 tbsp chopped fresh mint.
  4. Step 4: Serve warm or at room temperature as a flavorful and nourishing grain bowl.
