Description
Transform ordinary sweet potatoes into a vibrant, lively meal with these Loaded Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Hummus & Crispy Chickpeas.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 medium sweet potatoes
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp paprika
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup hummus
- ½ small red onion, thinly sliced
- ⅓ cup chopped parsley
- ⅓ cup vegan feta cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Then, rinse the sweet potatoes under cold water to remove any dirt. Slice them in half lengthwise and score the flesh in a crisscross pattern to allow even roasting. Drizzle with a tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt to enhance their natural sweetness. Place the sweet potatoes cut-side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to avoid sticking. Roast them in the oven for 25–30 minutes until the edges turn beautifully caramelized.
- While the sweet potatoes are roasting, it’s the perfect time to prepare your crispy chickpeas. In a bowl, toss the rinsed chickpeas with a tablespoon of olive oil, paprika, and salt until they’re evenly coated. Spread the chickpeas across another baking sheet in a single layer. Into the oven they go, roasting for 20–25 minutes. Make sure to shake the pan halfway through to ensure they crisp up evenly.
- Once both the sweet potatoes and chickpeas are cooked to crispy perfection, remove them from the oven. Place the roasted sweet potatoes on a serving platter and generously spread a dollop of creamy hummus on top of each one. Then, layer the crispy chickpeas over the hummus, followed by slices of red onion and a sprinkle of parsley. For an extra flourish, add vegan feta cheese if you like! Serve warm and savor every bite of this delightful meal.
Notes
Ensure the chickpeas are thoroughly dried before roasting for maximum crispiness; excess moisture will prevent them from achieving that desired crunch.
