Skip the pile of dishes tonight with this one-pan Maple Roasted Sweet Potato with Chickpeas, Kale & Red Onion recipe! We’re taking nutrient-dense sweet potatoes, protein-packed chickpeas, and hearty kale and tossing them in a sweet-and-savory maple glaze. Topped it all off with a zesty herb-infused Greek yogurt sauce and enjoy!
Ingredients4 servings
- 2-3 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 5 to 6 stalks of kale, stems removed
- 1 red onion, sliced
- 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 4 tbsp olive oil (plus extra if needed)
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp sweet paprika
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- Small bunch of fresh herb of choice (parsley, cilantro, or chives)
Directions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into bite-sized cubes. Peel and thinly slice the red onion.
2
Remove the central stems from the kale. Wash the leaves thoroughly, pat dry, and tear them into bite-sized pieces.
3
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, maple syrup, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper.
4
On a large sheet pan, spread out the sweet potato cubes, chickpeas, and sliced red onion. Pour the oil and maple syrup mixture over them and toss until everything is evenly coated. Roast for 30 minutes.
5
Remove the pan from the oven and stir in the kale. Toss well to coat the leaves in the remaining oil (drizzle an extra tablespoon of oil if necessary). Roast for another 10 minutes.
6
While roasting, mix the Greek yogurt with the chopped fresh herbs. Season with salt and pepper, then serve with the roasted vegetables.
Happy cooking 🥰 ☀️
10/10 so delicious and healthy!! Easy! All their sheet pan recipes are outstanding!!! Made them all exactly as written! My family loved!!
Super nutritious & easy to make. I substitute spinach for the kale.
I’m going to try this recipe!! I love sweet potatoes and garbanzo beans but never thought about putting them together!
I wish there was a way to print the whole recipe. 🤗
Very good. Will definitely make again. Did not make the yogurt sauce. Taste great as is!!
Oh my goodness this recipe is So Darn Good. I used sweet white onions as that’s what I had on hand. Love it and will definitely add it to my regular line up. Thx so very much.
I had to cook potatoes, onions and chickpeas for 15 min additional then Kate on top for 10 min. I left peelings on potatoes I didn’t make the Greek dish, tasted very good as is.
Hi, I’m enjoying using ricotta cheese in lieu of cottage cheese and yogurt, less salt. Would that be a good substitute ?
If you really want to make this a healthy dish, don’t use Greek yogurt. Use a vegan yogurt. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFf6AXBITYA
This recipe is a hit. I had a preconceived idea about kale being bitter but I’m glad I used it. I don’t have a large sheet pan so I divided the recipe into two 8×8 pans and froze one since there are two of us.
To save time, I prepared the potatoes and kale the day before.
I made the recipe in a NuWave oven and the first roasting was done in less than 20” on the lowest setting. We sprayed more olive oil on the kale; the second roasting time took less than 10 minutes. The crispy kale added so much to the dish. I wish I could attach a picture.
Thank you for a new favorite! On a side bar, we do not shop without the Yuka app. The upgraded version is so worth it.
Hi there. Well. With this recipe. The potato’s took over 45 mins to cook. And we’re still a bit firm. And they were cut into small cubes. Other than that. It was very tasty. And healthy.
Sounds healthy and delicious
I made this with chicken (tossed chicken in olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic, salt, pepper) and added chicken with chickpeas and kale a bit later into baking. Turned out really good. We didn’t care for kale though. Thanks for the recipe.
Fast healthy and very nutritious
Very yummy 😋
Wow definitely making this recipe. Thank you 😊
How much salt and pepper in the sauce, please?
Looks delicious 👍
I like this recipe, simple and looks yummy.
The sweet potato and chick peas recipe looks awfully delicious and filling. Can’t wait to a go at it!
Love
Thank you, looks delicious and easy to make
Sounds fabulous, can’t wait to try it.
That is so easy and it sounds so good. I can’t wait to try it.!!👌 thank you so much♥️
LOVE THIS RECIPE
Yum
Thanks Ism stuck in a boring rut .
Love this recipe, I will definitely have to try this one. Nice and simple, just the way I like to cook. Thank You
I just made this for lunch. Great taste. It was easier (for me) to put everything in a large bowl to mix with the oil/Maple syrup. With a large spoon! It took longer than 1/2 hour to roast the sweet potato, and I had cut it in fairly small pieces. But it is a very adaptable, and for me, a pantry staple recipe. You could substitute for squash, other greens and spices etc. I served it with brown rice, but Pita bread would be good too. I didn’t roast the greens because I happened to have some cooked beet greens.
Nancy, i did the same with one bowl holding the veggies, then drizzling the oil mixture over and mixing! It is SO good! And easy! A new staple!
This is so cool — and it has many of our favorite vegqn things in it. We find (after being ‘strict’ vegans and then vegetarians and then fishitarians over the years) that we like to eat 2 vegan dinners, 2 vegetarian dinners, 2 fish/seafood and 1 ‘meat’ dish a week. Maybe I just feel better about not having a ‘feel-good label’ for what I eat — or maybe I’m old and just love the variety!!! Whatever, I enjoy your recipies and thank you!
Thank you. I want to try it
Being a heart attack patient I’ve changed my diet( to avoid the need for double bypass), what could substitute for the olive oil? Maybe applesauce or cut it to a maximum of 1tsp oil oil
Yes, I try to avoid oils as well for those same reasons. I just looked up what else to use. They said chickpea oil, which has a key base to it, and it appears to the vegetable as well thus making the spices work better. There are a couple of other options, but I like this option. A Google search could help you find a solution. Good luck with that. I’m excited about making it and now I know about chickpea liquid.
Correction, I meant the liquid from the can of chickpeas, not oil. Apologies.
Avocado oil is heart healthy
Haven’t tried it yet but definitely will do soon. All my favorite ingredients except I will replace the kale with spinach. Thanx so much.
This sounds so yummy 😋 I love sweet potatoes and chic peas
I will try this
Love the one pan dishes, look so good and healthy, hopefully saves time too. Will definitely try making them
Great recipe, looking forward to making it.
It sounds delicious! I am just not into maple syrup. Would this also work using fresh orange juice instead of maple syrup?
I would use honey
I can’t wait to try this recipe. This kind of healthy recipe is right up my alley!
This looks delicious, easy and healthy!! My favorite! Thank you❤️
It would help to have this in a form for printing on one page.
Sounds rely good
This one is my favorite, I love sweet potatoes cooked any way possible. My favorite so far.
What can you substitute kale with? This recipe sounds delicious can’t wait to make 😇
Spinach….broccoli….whatever green veggie you love….is my guess! I absolutely can’t wait to try this beauty!!!!
collard greens, swiss chard.
This sounds and looks amazing. Thank you for sharing.
It looks good! I’ll try the roasted sweet potatoes and chicken recipe!
I would love to see simple print versions of your recipes.
This recipe looks absolutely delicious.
I will definitely try.
I’ll try the chickpea recipe looks good!
Sounds Delicious!
Oh my goodness, all my favorites. Can’t wait to make this..
Sounds delicious. Can you provide nutritional information (such as calories, fat content, etc)?
Can’t wait to impress my family and friends with this amazing recipe.
The sweet potato with chick peas looks delish
I have no kale today…can I chop up brussel sprouts and substitute that.
I have everything else
Je reconnais que beaucoup de gens ont une mauvaise alimentation
Delicious & super easy! After I cut up the sweet potato and onion and rinsed the chickpeas, I placed everything into a bowl. I found that it was easier to toss everything with the olive oil/maple syrup mixture in the bowl rather than doing it on the baking sheet. One more thing to wash, but I felt it was worth it.
can you recomend non-dairy substitute for yogurt?
Siggi’s non-dairy Vanilla yogurt is the best non-dairy on the market!!
Great recipe
My family enjoyed it
This looks like an easy dish
My husband loved this taste of this recipe. I also enjoyed the taste and minimal dishes used, so cleanup was a breeze! I will be making it again, sooner rather than later.
This recipe looks delicious and I’d like to make it. Is there any way we can print off the recipe instead of having to hand write it out? I can barely read my own hand writing….sadly. It would be terrific to print it off.
You should be able to print it by going to Settings on your PC and selecting Print. I am on a desktop computer hooked up to the printer, so I don’t know how you would print anything from a phone or tablet if that’s what you are on.
My Android phone is set up to my printer. (Need to have Wi-Fi) I’m able to print everything
Or you could email it to yourself and print off the email?
Hi. If you have an iphone you could send it to notes and print from there. I’m sure Android phones will have a similar function
