Ingredients
  

  • 15.5 oz can chickpeas 
  • 3 tbsp olive oil divided 
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp cumin divided
  • ¾ tsp salt divided
  • ¾ tsp black pepper divided
  • 2 large NC sweetpotatoes (about 3 ½ - 4 cups chopped)
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • 1 cup hummus
  • 2 tsp fresh lemon juice
  • ½ cup cucumber chopped
  • ½ cup tomato chopped
  • 1½ tbsp fresh parsley chopped
  • ⅓ cup crumbled feta cheese 

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 425F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Using a paper or cloth towel, pat the chickpeas dry. It is important that they are not wet to roast properly.  
  • Place the chickpeas on the baking sheet and toss them with 1 tbsp of olive oil. Roast the chickpeas for 20 minutes. You may need to allow for additional time if they are not crispy after 20 minutes.
  • After 20 minutes, remove from the oven and toss with ½ tsp paprika, ¼ tsp cumin, ¼ tsp salt, and ¼ tsp black pepper. Set aside.
  • In a bowl toss sweetpotatoes with 2 tbsp oil, ½ tsp cumin, 1 tsp dried oregano, ½ tsp salt, ½ tsp pepper, and ¼ tsp garlic powder. Roast the sweetpotatoes in the oven at 400°F for 20 minutes. 
  • While sweetpotatoes are cooking, prepare the toppings by chopping the cucumber, tomatoes, and fresh parsley. Next, add the lemon juice to the hummus, stir, and set aside.
  • Once sweetpotatoes have finished roasted, remove them from the oven. Divide sweetpotatoes evenly between 4 bowls. Top with citrus hummus, cucumber, tomatoes, parsley, crispy chickpeas, and crumbled feta cheese.
  • This is a delicious side dish with grilled chicken, lamb, or steak, but can be an entree on its own. The recipe is designed as a stand-alone dish and, if used as a side, will feed more people.
