Ingredients

Scale

For the Salad:

  • 2 large sweet potatoes, scrubbed and cubed
  • ½ medium red onion, peeled and sliced
  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 3 oz (85 g) mixed greens
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Dried cranberries for garnish (optional)

For the Dressing:

  • ½ cup olive oil
  • ¼ cup lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • ¼ tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Roast the Vegetables: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). On a large baking sheet, arrange the cubed sweet potatoes on one half and chickpeas on the other. In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, paprika, cinnamon, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Pour half the dressing over the sweet potatoes and chickpeas, ensuring they are well-coated but remain separate.
  2. Add Onion and Bake: Move the chickpeas closer to the sweet potatoes on the baking sheet and add the sliced onion. Spread everything evenly and bake for 30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the sweet potatoes are tender. Let the roasted components cool for 20 minutes.
  3. Assemble the Salad: In a large bowl, layer the mixed greens. Add the roasted sweet potatoes, chickpeas, and onions. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and cilantro. Drizzle the remaining dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
  4. Garnish and Serve: Top the salad with dried cranberries (optional). Serve immediately and enjoy!
