Instructions
- Make the Shawarma spiced Chickpeas: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add oil and move the skillet to coat. Add spices, chickpeas and salt and mix. Cover and cook for a minute. Add a tbsp or so of water, cover and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until dry.
- To cook the Sweet potatoes in the skillet: Peel and slice the sweet potatoes to about 1/4 inch thick. Heat the skillet over medium-low heat. When the skillet is hot, add a spray of oil. Place sweet potato slices on the skillet. Cover and cook for 4 to 5 minutes. Flip, cover and cook for another 2 to 4 minutes or until tender to preference. Transfer to a bowl. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and cayenne. Repeat for the rest of the slices. Use other spices or flavors of choice. I like cinnamon + cayenne, shawarma, za'atar or cumin+ coriander+allspice.
- To roast the sweet potatoes in the oven: Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees F / 200ºc. Peel and chop the sweet potato into large cubes. Toss with 2 to 3 tsp oil, salt, pepper and cayenne. Spread on parchment lined baking sheet. Bake for 25 to 35 minutes. ( You can toss the zucchini with salt and pepper and add to the tray in the last 10 minutes of baking with the sweet potatoes).
- Make the tahini dressing: Blend everything until smooth. Use a few Tbsp water if needed. Taste and adjust salt, tang and spice.
- Arrange the bowl as you like. Add greens of choice, Add roasted sweet potato, zucchini and spiced chickpeas. Drizzle with tahini dressing and serve.
