Equipment
- oven
- Sheet Pan
- Parchment paper

Ingredients
Canned and Fresh Vegetables
- 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas rinsed and drained
- 1 medium sweet potato chopped into small cubes (½ inch thick)
- 1 head broccoli chopped into small ping pong sized florets
- ½ medium red onion sliced thin
Spices and Oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon fennel seed
- ½ teaspoon dry thyme
- ½ teaspoon dry basil
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1-2 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Herbs
- handful fresh parsley minced
- handful fresh cilantro minced
Instructions
Prepare and Bake
- Set oven to 400F. Dry off your chickpeas in a clean kitchen towel and lightly rub it over the chickpeas. Remove any loose chickpea skins that come off.
- Add your chickpeas and sweet potato to a large parchment lined sheet pan and drizzle with half of the olive oil, dry herbs and spices. With your hands toss everything together evenly and then spread your chickpeas and potatoes out into a single layer.
- Place the sheet pan into the oven and bake for 20 minutes.
- Carefully remove the sheet pan, give the chickpeas and sweet potato a toss with a spatula and push them a bit to the side to make room for your broccoli and red onion.
- To the broccoli and red onions, drizzle with your remaining oil, herbs and spices and toss together with your hands and spread out again on your sheet pan.
- Return the pan to the oven for an additional 10-15 minutes, and when done cooking sprinkle with some fresh herbs like cilantro and parsley and serve.
Notes
Make sure to dry your chickpeas really well to avoid excess moisture. Cook your sweet potato and chickpeas first as they need more time to roast compared to the broccoli and onions. Spread everything out in a single layer on the sheet pan for best results.
