Ingredients

  • 3 Tablespoons + 2 teaspoons olive oil divided

  • ¼ cup diced red onion
  • ¼ teaspoon cumin
  • 3 oz chopped curly kale (about 1 ¼ cup)

  • ½ Tablespoon brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • ¾ cup cannellini beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400° F. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment.

    Chopping kale and sweet potatoes. A bowl of chopped red onion is nearby.
  • Spread sweet potatoes and onion onto the baking sheet and toss with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon pepper and ¼ teaspoon cumin. Spread out in an even layer and roast for 10 minutes. Use a spatula to flip over and push to one side of the tray.

  • Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to the hot skillet. When oil starts to shimmer, add seasoned chickpeas and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned (about 8 minutes). Note: Don’t be alarmed if they look like they are burning…they aren’t!
