This Spicy Chickpeas Sweet Potato Spinach Sauté is made in one pot. It is a vegan, healthy, and delicious, easy weeknight meal that can be made in about 15 minutes.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
- 2 small sweet potatoes chopped (approximately 5 cups chopped sweet potatoes)
- 1 small onion (approximately 3/4 cup chopped)
- 1 can can chickpeas 1 tsp cumin (15.5 oz. can)
- 5 oz. container of spinach
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 2 tsp coriander
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp turmeric
Instructions
- Peel and chop the onion. Also, peel the sweet potato and cut it into bite-sized pieces. Peeling the sweet potato is optional. If you prefer, the skin can be left on.
- Drain and rinse the chickpeas.
- Then, add the extra virgin olive oil to a large pan and set it over a stovetop set to medium heat.
- Tender sweet potatoes in 10 minutes on the stovetop!Add the cut sweet potatoes into the pan and give them a good stir so they get tossed in the oil. Then, cover the pan and let the sweet potatoes roast for about 4 minutes. Uncover the pan and toss the sweet potatoes so the pieces have their uncooked sides towards the bottom of the pan. Cover the pan again and let the sweet potatoes cook for another 4 minutes. Remove the lid again and toss the sweet potatoes. Then, cover the pan and let the sweet potatoes roast for an additional 2 minutes. The sweet potatoes should be fork-tender at this point.
- Add the chopped onion, the rinsed canned chickpeas, cumin, smoked paprika, coriander, turmeric, and cinnamon to the pan with the roasted sweet potato and stir well.
- Then, add in the fresh spinach and cover the pan for about 2 minutes. It will be a whole mound of spinach, but don't worry, it will wilt down to a very manageable amount in 2 to 3 minutes.
- Remove the cover and stir all the ingredients well.
- Season this with salt and black pepper to taste and enjoy.
- OPTIONAL: Serve this sprinkled with red pepper flakes and chopped fresh parsley.
Notes
Cut the sweet potato into small, bite-sized pieces. The smaller they are cut, the quicker they will cook.
