Ingredients
- 4 sweet potato rinsed and scrubbed, medium
- 1 ½ tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 yellow onion diced, medium
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2-3 teaspoons ginger fresh, minced
- 1-2 tablespoons garam masala use more or less depending on spice preference

- 2 tablespoons tomato paste

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425ºF.
- Prick the sweet potatoes several times with a fork and place on a baking sheet. Roast for about an hour, until tender.
- While the sweet potatoes cook, add the coconut oil to a large pan over medium-high heat. Stir in the onions and cook until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger, garam masala, paprika, salt and pepper. Cook for about 1 more minute, stirring often. Add the tomato paste, canned tomatoes and chickpeas. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Pour in the coconut milk and continue to simmer for 5 minutes more. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.
- To serve, slice open the sweet potatoes and scoop a healthy portion of the chana masala into each. Garnish the potatoes with the minced cilantro.
