Roasted Broccoli Sweet Potato Chickpea Salad

Serves: 2 (I usually make twice of this to feed 4, double everything except chickpeas)

Cook Chickpeas

1 cup chickpeas

Overnight soak chickpeas in water.

1 tsp salt
5 cups water

Drain chickpeas, wash, add salt, water and allow it to boil, reduce the heat to low, cook for 45 minutes.

Yields: 2 and 1/2 cups cooked chickpeas

Spiced Chickpeas

1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp tandoori masala
1 tsp coconut sugar
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper

Add the cooked and drained chickpeas to a mixing bowl, season with oil, tandoori masala, coconut sugar, salt and cayenne or red pepper flakes. Toss to combine.

Vegetables

1 tbsp olive oil

1 large sweet potato, chopped into rounds
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp black ground black pepper
1/2 tsp dried dill

Add sweet potato to a mixing bowl, add olive oil, salt, ground black pepper, dried dill, toss to combine.

1 tbsp olive oil

1 medium head broccoli, chopped into large bite size pieces
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp black ground black pepper
1/2 tsp dried dill

Add broccoli to a mixing bowl, add olive oil, salt, ground black pepper, dried dill, toss to combine.

1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced (leave raw or roast with broccoli, roasting is optional)

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease a baking pan.

Arrange in a single layer.

Bake for a total of 25 minutes, rotating the pan once near the halfway point. You can flip the sweet potatoes over to encourage even baking, but its not necessary.

You will know the broccoli is done, when its golden brown, the sweet potatoes will be tender and the chickpeas will begin firming up and taking on a slight crunch. Set aside.

Garlic Dill Sauce

1/3 cup hummus
1/2 tsp garlic, grated
1 tsp dried dill (or 2 tsp fresh dill)
2 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp water to thin

While the vegetables are baking, prepare the dressing by adding hummus, garlic, dill, lemon juice to a mixing bowl and whisk to combine. Then add only enough water to thin until pourable. Set aside.

To Serve

Mix roasted veggies, raw bell pepper and chickpeas with dressing and enjoy!
