Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, combine 2 medium peeled and cubed sweet potatoes with 1 can (15 oz) drained chickpeas, 2 tbsp harissa paste, 3 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Toss well until all pieces are evenly coated.
  2. Step 2: Spread the sweet potato and chickpea mixture on a large rimmed baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until potatoes are tender and chickpeas are slightly crispy on the edges.
  3. Step 3: Remove from oven and sprinkle 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro over the top. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side to squeeze over the warm vegetables.
