ROASTED SWEET POTATOES WITH CRISPY CHICKPEAS



Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Crispy Chickpeas image

I'm always trying to come up with different side dishes that are healthy, flavorful and not too heavy. The chickpeas really add texture and a pop of flavor.

Provided by Marc Murphy

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and medium diced
4 medium shallots, peeled and cut in half lengthwise
1/4 cup olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Two 15.5-ounce cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 tablespoon cayenne pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 tablespoons canola oil
1/4 cup fresh mint, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Divide the potatoes and shallots between two 10-inch cast-iron skillets. Evenly drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast until the potatoes are cooked through, about 25 minutes.
  • For the chickpeas: Lay the chickpeas out on a flat surface and dry them as much as you can using paper towels. In a small bowl, stir together the coriander, cumin, turmeric, cinnamon, cayenne and salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
  • In a 10-inch cast-iron skillet, heat the oil over medium heat until shimmering. Line a large plate with paper towels. Working in two batches, add the chickpeas to the skillet so they are in a single layer and cook, stirring frequently, until golden and crispy, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Use a slotted spoon to transfer the chickpeas to the prepared plate and add the spice mixture. Toss everything together until combined; this helps to bloom the spices while the chickpeas are still warm.
  • Garnish the potatoes in the skillets with the chickpeas and finish with the mint.

SWEET POTATO & SPINACH BAKE



Sweet potato & spinach bake image

If you're after some substantial comfort food on a budget then this vegetarian bake is just the thing. Add lamb chops for the meat eaters

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 11

300ml single cream (or double cream for a really creamy texture)
1 garlic clove, peeled
2 sprigs thyme or rosemary
250g bag frozen spinach
freshly grated nutmeg
butter, for greasing
850g sweet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced (about 3mm thick)
25g grated hard cheese, such as cheddar, Parmesan or veggie alternative
2 lamb chops
few sprigs thyme or rosemary
1 tsp olive oil per portion

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Put the cream, garlic and herb sprigs into a small saucepan and slowly bring to just below boiling. Turn off the heat, season and leave to infuse.
  • Put the spinach into a colander, pour over a kettle of boiling water and leave to drain for a few mins. Then squeeze out as much water as possible. Season with salt, pepper and freshly grated nutmeg.
  • Grease an ovenproof dish generously with butter and spread half the sweet potato slices across the bottom. Top with a layer of spinach, then the remaining potato. Pour over the cream mixture, through a sieve to remove the garlic and herbs, then sprinkle with cheese. Bake for 45-55 mins until golden and tender.
  • Meanwhile, if you're serving the chops, heat a griddle or frying pan and finely chop the leaves from the herb sprig. Rub over the chops with the oil and some seasoning, then griddle or fry for 3-4 mins on each side or until cooked to your liking. Leave bake, and chops if serving, to rest for 5 mins, then serve with a big green salad.

Tips for a Perfect Sweet Potato, Spinach, and Chickpea Bake:

  • Use fresh, vibrant ingredients. Wilted spinach, old chickpeas, or a sweet potato that's past its prime will compromise the flavor and texture of the dish.
  • Don't overcook the sweet potatoes. They should be tender-crisp, not mushy. If you're not sure if they're done, pierce them with a fork. If it goes through easily, they're ready. Try not to stack them as they cook for better and even cooking.
  • Roast the chickpeas until they're crispy. This adds a delicious nutty flavor and texture to the dish.
  • Use a flavorful cheese. A sharp cheddar or Parmesan will add a nice depth of flavor. You could also try goat cheese or feta for a tangier flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking dish. The vegetables should be in a single layer so that they cook evenly.
  • Season the dish to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices as desired.

Conclusion:

This sweet potato, spinach, and chickpea bake is a delicious and healthy meal that's perfect for a weeknight dinner. It's packed with nutrients and flavor, and it's sure to be a hit with the whole family. The combination of sweet potatoes, spinach, and chickpeas creates a colorful and flavorful dish that's both satisfying and nutritious. Feel free to add other vegetables you have on hand, such as broccoli, zucchini, or bell peppers. You can also top the dish with a dollop of yogurt or sour cream for an extra creamy touch.
