Instructions
- Preheat: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Toss sweet potato with spices: Add the cubed sweet potato and rinsed chickpeas in a bowl and toss with all spices/seasonings until well combined.
- Bake: Add to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the sweet potato can be easily pierced with a fork.
