Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes, washed
- 1 (15 oz) can chickpeas
- 1/4 c extra virgin olive oil, divided
- 1 tbsp. garlic powder
- 1 tbsp. cumin
- 1 tsp. turmeric
- 1 tsp. chili powder
- 1 bunch kale, thick stems removed and leaves coarsely chopped
- juice of 1/2 lemon
- sea salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/4 c tahini
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425º F and wrap each sweet potato in tin foil. Place them in the oven to bake for 30 minutes and then remove them.
- Unwrap the tin foil and cut the sweet potatoes in half. Scoop out some of the potato flesh and reserve for another recipe, or just a snack later.
- In a medium-sized bowl, toss the drained chickpeas in 2 tbsp of olive oil, garlic powder, cumin turmeric, and chili powder. Mix thoroughly so that the chickpeas are coated. Pour them onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 425º for 30 minutes.
- While the chickpeas are cooking, add the chopped kale to a large bowl and toss with lemon juice, 1 tbsp of olive, and a pinch of sea salt. Massage the kale so that it starts to soften.
- Scoop the kale into the sweet potato boats, place them on a baking sheet, and bake in the oven for about 5 minutes to wilt the kale.
- Remove the sweet potato boats and chickpeas from the oven. Spoon the chickpeas into the sweet potato boats.
- In a small bowl, whisk the remaining olive oil and tahini together. Drizzle this over the sweet potato boats and enjoy!
