Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large bowl, toss 2 medium peeled and diced sweet potatoes and 1 can (15 oz) drained chickpeas with 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp sea salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper until evenly coated.
  2. Step 2: Spread the sweet potatoes and chickpeas in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the sweet potatoes are tender and chickpeas are slightly crispy.
  3. Step 3: Meanwhile, whisk together 3 tbsp tahini, 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice, 2 tbsp warm water, and 1 small minced garlic clove in a small bowl until smooth and creamy.
  4. Step 4: Once roasted, transfer the sweet potatoes and chickpeas to a serving bowl. Drizzle with the tahini dressing and sprinkle 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley on top. Serve warm or at room temperature.
