  • 425°F

Preheat your oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet (or two) with parchment paper. Spread the cubed 1 ½ lb sweet potatoes peeled and cut into 3/4-inch cubes on one side and the dried 1 can chickpeas on the other. Drizzle the 1 ½ lb sweet potatoes peeled and cut into 3/4-inch cubes with 2 tbsp of extra-virgin olive oil and the 1 can chickpeas with 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil. Sprinkle the 1 tsp smoked paprika, ½ tsp garlic powder, and ½ tsp fine sea salt evenly over both. Toss each side separately to coat well, then spread everything into a single layer.

Fluff with a fork and season lightly with ½ tsp fine sea salt.
