Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 peeled and cubed medium sweet potatoes with 1 can drained chickpeas.
  2. Step 2: Add 3 tbsp harissa paste, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Toss thoroughly until the sweet potatoes and chickpeas are evenly coated.
  3. Step 3: Spread the mixture in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the sweet potatoes are tender and edges are slightly crisp.
  4. Step 4: Remove from oven, drizzle with 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice, and sprinkle with 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley before serving warm.
