Oven-Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Crispy Chickpeas and Yogurt Sauce

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Have ready two unlined baking sheets.

Step 3

Make the Sweet Potatoes: In a large bowl, combine the sweet potatoes, olive oil, honey (if using) and crushed red pepper flakes. Season generously with salt and pepper, and toss until the sweet potatoes are evenly coated. Arrange the sweet potatoes on one of the prepared baking sheets in a single layer. Transfer to the oven and roast until tender and caramelized, 25 to 30 minutes.

Step 4

Make the Chickpeas: Meanwhile, spread the chickpeas in a single layer on the second prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle over the cayenne, and season with salt. Transfer to the oven and bake until crispy and golden, 15 to 20 minutes.

Step 5

Make the Yogurt Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the yogurt and lime juice, and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Step 6

Divide the roasted sweet potatoes between dinner plates, top with some of the crispy chickpeas and drizzle with the yogurt sauce. Garnish with thinly sliced scallions or chives, if using.
