Ingredients

• 1 cup chickpeas (cooked or canned, drained and rinsed)
• 2 cups kale, chopped
• 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and diced
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 tablespoon tahini (optional, for dressing)
• Juice of half a lemon
• Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
• 1/4 cup toasted pumpkin seeds (optional, for crunch)

Equipment

• Large mixing bowl
• Baking sheet
• Sharp knife
• Cutting board
• Medium skillet or frying pan
• Garlic press (optional)
• Measuring spoons and cups
• Spatula or wooden spoon
• Juicer or lemon squeezer

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Prepare the vegetables: Peel and dice the sweet potato into 1-inch cubes. Slice the red bell pepper and chop the kale roughly. Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves.
3. Roast the sweet potato and bell pepper: Spread the diced sweet potato and sliced bell pepper on the baking sheet. Drizzle with half the olive oil and sprinkle with smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
4. Bake the vegetables for about 20-25 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and slightly caramelized. Stir halfway through baking to ensure even roasting.
5. Sauté the onion and garlic: While the vegetables roast, heat the remaining olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
6. Add the kale: Toss the chopped kale into the skillet with the onions and garlic. Cook for about 5 minutes until the kale is wilted but still vibrant green.
7. Combine the ingredients: In the large mixing bowl, add the roasted sweet potato and bell pepper, sautéed kale mixture, and chickpeas. Drizzle with lemon juice and tahini (if using). Toss everything gently to combine and distribute the flavors.
8. Taste and adjust seasonings: Add additional salt, pepper, or lemon juice as needed to suit your preferences.
9. Serve warm or at room temperature, garnished with fresh parsley and toasted pumpkin seeds for a satisfying crunch.

Tips & Variations

“Roasting the vegetables brings out their natural sweetness and adds depth to the dish. Don’t skip this step!”

• Protein boost: Add some cooked quinoa or brown rice for a heartier meal.
• Spice it up: Sprinkle some red chili flakes or add a dash of hot sauce for extra heat.
• Switch veggies: Use seasonal vegetables like zucchini, eggplant, or carrots instead of sweet potato and bell pepper.
• Make it a salad: Chill the combined ingredients and serve cold with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar for a refreshing salad option.
• Nutty dressing: Replace tahini with almond butter or peanut butter for a different nutty flavor.

Serving Suggestions

This dish pairs wonderfully with warm flatbreads or a side of steamed brown rice for a complete meal. For a lighter option, serve it alongside a crisp green salad with a tangy vinaigrette.
