instructions
    1

    Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).

    2

    Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into uniform cubes, about 1 inch in size.

    3

    In a large mixing bowl, toss the sweet potato cubes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, pepper, and cumin until well coated.

    4

    Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes evenly on a baking sheet and roast them in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes. You want them tender and slightly crispy.

    5

    While the sweet potatoes are roasting, rinse and drain the chickpeas. In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat, then add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

    6

    Add the chickpeas to the skillet and cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are heated through and slightly crispy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

    7

    In the last few minutes of cooking the chickpeas, add the spinach to the skillet and stir until wilted.

    8

    Once the sweet potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.

    9

    To serve, assemble the bowl by placing a generous scoop of roasted sweet potatoes, sautéed chickpeas, and spinach in a bowl.

    10

    Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top for added brightness and flavor.
