Instructions
1. Preheat Oven
Set oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare Vegetables & Chickpeas
In a large bowl, toss sweet potatoes, chickpeas, bell pepper, and onion with olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, chili flakes, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
3. Roast
Spread evenly on the sheet pan in a single layer.
Roast for 25–30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the sweet potatoes are tender and edges are lightly charred.
4. Make the Lemon-Tahini Drizzle (Optional)
Whisk together tahini, lemon juice, warm water, and salt until smooth and pourable.
5. Assemble the Bowl
Spread a generous layer of hummus on each plate or bowl.
Top with roasted sweet potatoes and chickpeas.
Drizzle olive oil or lemon-tahini sauce over the top.
Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
Tips
For crispier chickpeas, pat them dry before roasting and roast an extra 5–7 minutes.
Add spinach or arugula underneath for a warm salad-style meal.
Try harissa, za’atar, or curry powder to change up the flavor profile.
Excellent for meal prep — stays delicious for up to 4 days in the fridge.
️ Serving Ideas
Serve with warm pita bread or brown rice for extra heartiness.
Add a spoon of Greek yogurt or tzatziki on top for a cooling balance.
