A delicious, colourful and filling dinner or snack that you can feel good about eating. Swap the chickpeas for quinoa or lentils if you prefer.
Not just a treat for the eyes, vibrant purple sweet potatoes are a nutritional powerhouse. To reap the full health benefits, consider eating your sweet potatoes, skin and all since the skin contains three times as much anthocyanin - an antioxidant responsible for the brightly hued flesh of the this root vegetable, as its starchy flesh.

- Preheat oven to 180C/350F. Use a fork to poke holes into the sweet potatoes, and set them on a baking pan lined with aluminum foil for easy cleaning. Bake the sweet potatoes for about 2 hours until tender.
- Blend all the ingredients for the dressing until well combined. Add more water as needed to reach desired consistency. Refrigerate until ready for use.
- Toss the chickpeas with olive oil and ras el hanout until thoroughly combined. Place them in a baking tray.
- When sweet potatoes are done, remove from the oven. Increase oven temperature to 200C/400F. Bake the chickpeas for 20-25 minutes, shaking 2-3 times to ensure even baking. Remove and toss with parsley.
- Cut a slit lengthways in each without cutting all the way through. Open slightly and fluffy the insides with a fork to create a ‘bowl’. Fill with the prepared chickpeas and drizzle with spicy tahini dressing.

...another beautiful treat.
I have never found purple sweet potatoes. I always buy orange ones. The dark color makes the dish look dramatic!
I will need to check out sweet purple potatoes since you have showcased its recipes quite a few times
That looks great! I keep forgetting to try baking some purple potatoes, we roast them every once in a while.
It looks very delicious. I can’t wait to make it tomorrow for lunch.
A treat for the eyes and the tummy!!...I love it!.......Abrazotes, Marcela
Gracias por la receta. se ve muy rica. Te mando un beso.

Can't wait to make this.
Hugs and blessings, Angie
This is a feast for the eyes as well as the mouth.
That should taste nice.
sometimes i eat purple sweet potatoes with just boiled method...but seeing your recipe, i have a new concept bout them...and sometime can combine with quinoa or lentils...thanks Angie...
Hello,
Looks delicious, very pretty too. Take care, have a wonderful new week.
I've no idea what hanout is, but antioxidants are my fave thing next to flavonoids and immuno modulators. Also omega fatty acids which I get from my daily dose of flax and chia. Food can change your health fully if taken right and it is funny how people usually avoid the healthiest things. I currently love how oat, corn, millet and buckwheat flours keep my insulin levels balanced, unlike wheat flour which gives people a sugar jump.
I've never seen purple sweet potatoes. But yum! I love a good sweet potato. What a nice food for a Monday.
This sounds delightful - a wonderful combination of flavors
Yummy
Adoro le patate dolci, ttima ricetta!

It looks so tasty, Angie! I love this recipe!

firts time to know spicy Tahini...
I love sweet potato (tho I usually buy the orange ones) and i adore chickpeas! This sounds so good for you too.
I've never seen purple sweet potatoes, do they taste similar to regular sweet potatoes? This sounds like an amazing dish!
I wish I could just cook like you everyday! Great recipe!
I have a feeling that the texture, with those chickpeas, is as interesting as the beautiful look of these potatoes.
Angie, talk about a healthy sweet potato! My mom used to tell me all the time growing up, the vitamins are in the skin, eat it up. I like the chickpeas and the tahini in this recipe. A nice twist on a sweet potato.

Angie, My better half doesn't care for sweet potatoes so this dish won't grace our dinner table. Great presentation though! She doesn't like chick peas either but I think that roasted chick peas might change her mind... Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
@thepaintedapron.com They taste the same, Jenna.
This colorful and satisfying dinner or snack is not only delicious but also something you can feel good about eating.
Looks so good and tasty. Love baked potatoes with chickpeas fillings
I have never had purple sweet potatoes before. This sounds delicious, and I like that it is healthy.
Great combination of flavors & textures. Yum.
devono essere buonissime!!
Sadly I have never found a purple sweet potato at my local stores, but I would buy one immediately if I ever do! I will have to try this with a regular sweet potato, however. I LOVE roasted chickpeas! Fantastic recipe!! 🌞
