Sweet Potato and Chickpea Salad

The perfect sweet potato and chickpea salad recipe with a picture and simple step-by-step instructions.

for the dressing:

  • 1 tsp Sweet paprika powder
  • 1 tsp Herbs of Provence
  • Salt pepper
  • Olive oil
  • 1 small can Chickpeas
  • 1 Msp Chili powder
  • 75 g Dried tomatoes in oil
  • 0,5 bunch Parsley
  • 2 tbsp Pistachio, avocado or hazelnut oil
  • 1 tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 1 tsp Turmeric
  • 2 tsp Honey or rice syrup
  • 1 tbsp Water
  • Salt pepper
  1. If the peel is okay, you can leave it on the sweet potato and eat it with you. But it’s a matter of taste. Cut into bite-sized pieces and spread on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Sprinkle with paprika, herbs of Provence and salt. Drizzle with olive oil.
  2. Drain the chickpeas well and spread them on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Sprinkle with chili powder. Bake both trays at the same time in a preheated oven at 200 degrees circulating air (or one after the other at 220 degrees top / bottom heat) for about 20-25 minutes. The sweet potatoes should then be through and the chickpeas should be golden yellow and crispy, but not too dark. Let both cool down.
  3. In the meantime, cut the dried tomatoes and parsley into small pieces and stir the ingredients for the dressing. Mix everything together.

Here are a few more possible variations:

  1. You can use pumpkin instead of sweet potato. The cooking time in the oven is then 30 instead of 20 minutes. Finally, you can add a large handful of lamb’s lettuce or rocket under the salad. Mix in either 2 tablespoons of raisins or cranberries. Roast coconut chips in a pan without fat and sprinkle over the finished salad. 1 tbsp nut butter (stirred with 1 – 2 tbsp water until smooth) can be mixed into the dressing.

Tahini dressing:

  1. For this, mix 1 tablespoon of tahini with 2 teaspoons of liquid honey, 4 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt and pepper.
