Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large bowl, toss 2 medium peeled and cubed sweet potatoes (about 600g) and 1 can (15 oz) drained, rinsed chickpeas with 3 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp ground coriander, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, 1/2 tsp ground turmeric, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper until everything is evenly coated.
- Step 2: Spread the spiced sweet potatoes and chickpeas in a single layer on a large sheet pan. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the sweet potatoes are tender and chickpeas are slightly crispy on the edges.
- Step 3: Remove from the oven and sprinkle with 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley. Serve warm with lemon wedges for squeezing over just before eating.
