Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Peel and dice sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes; toss with 1/2 tbsp olive oil, salt, and 1/4 tsp cumin; spread on a baking sheet.
  2. Step 2: Drain and rinse chickpeas, then pat dry. Toss with 1 tbsp olive oil, harissa paste, 1/4 tsp cumin, and 1/4 tsp smoked paprika.
  3. Step 3: Roast sweet potatoes for 15 minutes, then add chickpeas to the same pan and roast 20 more minutes until chickpeas are golden and sweet potatoes are tender.
