Ingredients
  

  • 400 g canned chickpeas
  • 2 medium (about 400) g sweet potatoes
  • 200 g kale
  • 1 medium (about 200) g zucchini
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • to taste Salt and pepper
  • for garnish Fresh mint
  • crumbled (for serving) Feta cheese optional
  • (for a spicy kick) Red pepper flakes optional

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Baking sheet
  • Heat-resistant spatula
  • Chef's knife
  • Large mixing bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Place the diced sweet potatoes on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat and bake for 25 minutes or until tender and slightly caramelized.
  2. In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced zucchini and sauté for about 5 minutes, until it begins to soften.
  3. Stir in the chopped kale and cook until wilted, about 3 minutes.
  4. Add the rinsed chickpeas to the skillet. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the honey and Dijon mustard. Pour the mixture over the chickpeas and vegetables. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper, stirring to coat.
  5. Continue to cook for an additional 5–7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
  6. Once the sweet potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes.
  7. To serve, create a bed of roasted sweet potatoes on each plate, top with the honey mustard chickpea mixture, and garnish with freshly chopped mint. Enjoy!

Notes

Feel free to switch up the ingredients if you’re missing something! Spinach or Swiss chard can replace kale, and if you prefer a heartier meal, add grilled chicken or tofu for extra protein.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop, adding a splash of water to keep everything moist.
