Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

On the baking sheet, toss the diced sweet potato and broccoli florets with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized, flipping halfway through.

While the vegetables roast, prepare the chickpeas. In a small pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the rinsed chickpeas and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly crispy. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
