Yields: 4 servings Prep time: 15 minutes Cook time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp cumin powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp turmeric
  • ¼ tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
