4 servings

  • 2 large sweet potatoes, or 3 small, scrubbed
  • ½ medium red onion
  • 15 oz chickpeas, 1 can, rinsed and drained
  • ½ cup olive oil
  • ¼ cup lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne
  • salt, to taste
  • pepper, to taste
  • 3 oz mixed greens
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • dried cranberry, for garnish, optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425ºF (220ºC).
  • Cut the sweet potatoes in small cubes and transfer on one half of a non-stick baking sheet.
  • Peel and slice the onion and set aside.
  • Add the chickpeas to the other half of the baking sheet.
  • In a liquid measuring cup with a pour spout, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, paprika, cinnamon, cayenne, salt, and pepper and mix well.
  • Pour half of the dressing over the sweet potatoes and chickpeas and mix with your hands until well-coated. Keep the chickpeas and sweet potatoes separated as much as possible.
  • Scoot the chickpeas toward the sweet potatoes and add the onions to the baking sheet. Make sure everything is spread out evenly.
  • Bake for 30 minutes, until the sweet potatoes are tender. Use tongs to stir halfway through. Let cool for 20 minutes.
  • Place the greens in a large bowl. Top with the roasted chickpeas, sweet potatoes, and onion.
  • Add the parsley, cilantro, and remaining dressing and toss to combine.
  • Top with dried cranberries, if using.
  • Enjoy!
