Sweet Potatoes with spicy chickpeas 🌶️
Ingredients
1 1/4 lb. sweet potatoes, cut into ½-inch pieces
1 15.5-oz can chickpeas, rinsed
3 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
1 tsp. ground cumin
1/2 tsp. ground coriander
1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper
Himalayan salt and pepper
1/2 c. tahini, stirred well
6 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
4 tsp. smoked paprika
1/3 c. chopped fresh cilantro, dill, or flat-leaf parsley (or a mix)
2 scallions thinly sliced
STEP 1
Heat oven to 425°F. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss potatoes and chickpeas with oil.
STEP 2
In bowl, combine cumin, coriander, cayenne, ½ tsp salt, and ¼ tsp pepper. Sprinkle over potatoes and chickpeas, toss, then arrange in a single layer. Roast until potatoes are golden brown and tender, 25 to 30 min.
STEP 3
Meanwhile, bring 1½ cups water and ⅛ tsp salt to a boil. Stir in rice. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, 15 min. Remove from heat, fluff with fork, and let stand, covered, 5 minutes.
STEP 4
In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, paprika, ½ tsp salt, and ¼ cup water until smooth. If it’s too thick, whisk in a little more water, then season with additional salt, if desired (can be refrigerated for up to 4 days).
STEP 5
Spoon rice onto large serving plate and spoon sweet potato mixture on top. Sprinkle with cilantro and scallions and drizzle with tahini dressing.
