Spiced Chickpea & Sweet Potato Bowls with Citrus-Tahini Dressing

A vibrant and flavorful vegetarian bowl packed with roasted sweet potatoes, spiced chickpeas, and a zesty citrus-tahini dressing. Perfect for a healthy and satisfying lunch or dinner.

Ingredients:

  • 1 large sweet potato, peeled and diced
  • 1 can (15 ounces) chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • For the Citrus-Tahini Dressing:
    • 1/4 cup tahini
    • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
    • 1 tablespoon orange juice
    • 1 tablespoon water
    • 1 clove garlic, minced
    • Pinch of salt

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss sweet potatoes with olive oil, cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper on a baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly browned.
  2. While the sweet potatoes are roasting, prepare the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, orange juice, water, garlic, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a separate bowl, toss chickpeas with remaining olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 10-15 minutes, or until lightly crispy.
  4. To assemble the bowls, divide roasted sweet potatoes and chickpeas between two serving bowls. Drizzle generously with citrus-tahini dressing.
