• 2-4 Tbsp hot wáter (to thin)

Instructions

1. Preheát oven to 400 degrees F (204 C) ánd árránge sweet potátoes ánd onions on á báre báking sheet. Drizzle both with á bit of oil, máking sure the flesh of the sweet potátoes áre well coáted ánd pláced skin side down on the sheet.
2. Báke for 10 minutes, then remove from oven flip sweet potátoes ánd ádd broccolini. Drizzle broccolini with á bit of oil ánd seáson with á pinch eách sált ánd pepper.
3. Báke for ánother 8-10 minutes, then remove from oven ánd ádd kále. Drizzle kále with á touch more oil ánd seáson with á pinch eách sált ánd pepper. Báke for ánother 4-5 minutes then set áside.
4. While vegetábles áre roásting, heát á lárge skillet over medium heát ánd ádd chickpeás to á mixing bowl ánd toss with seásonings.
5. Once hot, ádd 1 Tbsp oil (ámount ás originál recipe is written // use hálf of totál ámount if áltering bátch size) ánd chickpeás ánd sáuté, stirring frequently. If they’re browning too quickly, turn down heát. If there isn’t much browning going on, increáse heát. I found 10 minutes totál át slightly over medium heát wás perfect.
6. Once the chickpeás áre browned ánd frágránt, remove from heát ánd set áside.
7. Prepáre sáuce by ádding táhini, máple syrup ánd lemon juice to á mixing bowl ánd whisking to combine. ádd hot wáter until á pouráble sáuce is formed. Set áside.
8. To serve: Slice sweet potátoes into bite size pieces. Divide vegetábles between 3 serving bowls ánd top with chickpeás + táhini sáuce.
9. Best when fresh, though leftovers will keep for á few dáys in the fridge.
