Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Peel and dice 2 large sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes.
  2. Step 2: In a large bowl, combine 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp turmeric, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Add the sweet potatoes and toss until evenly coated.

  4. Step 4: Roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring once after 15 minutes, until sweet potatoes are tender and chickpeas are golden brown.
