Friends, it’s been a while.
How have you been? Do you love this time of year? I do. What have you been eating these days? Salads? Chocolate? Are you getting outside in this lovely, brisk weather? Are you feeling well? I’d love to know.
Fall makes me all emotional and introspective. I once cried for an hour after a scenic drive when the leaves were turning. We were listening to Greg Laswell. I got all grateful and started weeping. Fingers crossed it’s an annual occurrence. Sometimes you just need a good cry.
Lately I’ve been eating lots of plants and less sugar. And I’ve been walking and running a lot. And books! I’ve finished a lot of books recently, which isn’t typical for me, this one being my favorite.
I’ve also been listening to a lot of podcasts. Podcasts always impact me. Especially this one on sustainability, this one on hospitality, and this one on minimalism. Good stuff.

Speaking of good stuff, how about them sweet potatoes?
For me, one of the most difficult parts of eating a plant-based diet is getting creative with meal ideas. Left to my own devices, I’d eat chips and guac for every meal. Clearly, that isn’t healthy or sustainable.
So, recently I’ve been trying to branch out and experiment with more well-balanced meals, such as these Mediterranean Sweet Potatoes.

The concept is simple:
Baked sweet potatoes – cut in half to shorten cooking time
Seasoned, roasted chickpeas
Garlic-herb sauce
Parsley-tomato salad for garnish
The result is a 30-minute lunch or dinner that’s both satisfying, savory and sweet, and seriously healthy.


This is my new favorite way to do Mediterranean. This dish is:
Savory
Sweet
Fresh
Smoky
Warm
Comforting
Seriously healthy
Filling
Customizable
& Simple
I love how the sweetness of the sweet potatoes blends perfectly with the chickpeas and garlic sauce, and the lemony parsley-tomato salad provides a zesty fresh finish. Friends, I’m in love.

If you try this dish – and you must – let us know! Leave a comment or take a photo and tag it #minimalistbaker on Instagram or @minimalistbaker on Twitter! Or, share it with friends on Pinterest. We’re convinced people need this in their lives.
As always, thanks for supporting what we do. Cheers!

Mediterranean Baked Sweet Potatoes
Ingredients
- 4 medium (~1/3 lb each) sweet potatoes*
- 1 15-ounce can chickpeas (rinsed and drained)
- 1/2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp each cumin, coriander, cinnamon, smoked (or regular) paprika
- 1 pinch sea salt or lemon juice (optional)
GARLIC HERB SAUCE
- 1/4 cup hummus (or tahini)
- 1/2 medium lemon, juiced (1/2 lemon yields ~1 Tbsp juice)
- 3/4 – 1 tsp dried dill (or sub 2-3 tsp fresh per 3/4-1 tsp dried)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced (3 cloves yield ~1 1/2 Tbsp or 9 g)
- Water or unsweetened almond milk (to thin)
- Sea salt to taste (optional // I didn’t need any)
TOPPINGS optional
- 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes (diced)
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley (minced)
- 2 Tbsp lemon juice
- Chili garlic sauce
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (204 C) and line a large baking sheet with foil.
- Rinse and scrub potatoes and cut in half length wise. This will speed cooking time. Otherwise leave whole and bake longer (approximately double the time (45 min – 1 hour).
- Toss rinsed and drained chickpeas with olive oil and spices and place on a foil-lined baking sheet.
- Rub the sweet potatoes with a bit of olive oil and place face down on the same baking sheet (or another baking sheet depending on size).
- While the sweet potatoes and chickpeas are roasting, prepare your sauce by adding all ingredients to a mixing bowl and whisking to combine, only adding enough water or almond milk to thin so it’s pourable. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more garlic for more zing, salt for savoriness, lemon juice for freshness, and dill for a more intense herb flavor. I found mine didn’t need anything else.
- NOTE: If you don’t have hummus, tahini (which you can DIY!) will make a great base substitution for the sauce – just adjust the seasonings to accommodate the lack of flavor tahini provides.
- Also prepare the parsley-tomato topping by tossing tomato and parsley with lemon juice and setting aside to marinate.
- Once sweet potatoes are fork tender and the chickpeas are golden brown – roughly 25 minutes – remove from oven.
- For serving, flip potatoes flesh-side up and smash down the insides a little bit. Then top with chickpeas, garlic herb sauce, parsley-tomato salad, and chili garlic sauce (optional). Serve immediately.
- Additional side ideas might include Hummus, Pita Chips, Baba Ganoush, or Persian Eggplant Dip. Enjoy!

PRami says
New found love! I always have had sweet potatoes with peanut butter but I think with garlicky hummus and parsley salad, it tastes even more hearty with bursting of flavors. Thank you!
Yay! We’re so glad you enjoy it. Thanks for the lovely review! xo
Kate says
This was delicious! Easy to make and I loved the flavor combinations. The dressing was super yummy. Will definitely be adding this to my go-to recipes!
Yay! Thanks, Kate!
Steve says
I made this for the first time and it was pretty darn good. Not mind-blowing, but I will certainly make it again. I followed the recipe almost verbatim, except I realized I did not have any dill come cook time. I also used garlic hummus, so I did not add any extra garlic. I served it with a side of toasted whole wheat pita bread and thought it was a good, easy and healthy meal. I am a little stumped as to what else to serve with it that would be vegan and would compliment the dish without taking a lot more time. I also thought it needed a little heat, so maybe I should get some of the mentioned chili garlic sauce. Thanks for posting the recipe!
Hi Steve, sorry to hear it didn’t turn out as expected! We wonder if the spices were fresh? They can lose flavor past ~6 months. You could try doubling up on them next time for more flavor.
Ali says
This was super yummy! I didn’t have any of the extra optional toppings, just the parsley, otherwise followed the recipe exactly and found it prefect. We tend to eat a lot of protein and vegetables, so I was taking a chance on this meatless meal, but…success!
So great! Thanks for sharing, Ali!
Donna says
My fiancé and I are not vegans but have decided to try healthier foods. Being a southern girl sweet potatoes growing up were in a casserole with marshmallows on top! I was surprised that the chickpeas were not real flavorful with all those spices but not bad. I probably should have used salt but so much for healthier! 😬We liked everything else and it was surprisingly filling! I followed your recipe other than I didn’t have the parsley but used cherry tomatoes. They were great with the lemon juice, oil, salt, and pepper! Thanks for broadening our palettes!
Hi Donna, thanks for sharing your experience! For the chickpeas, we wonder if the spices were fresh? They can lose flavor past ~6 months. You could try doubling up on them next time. Hope that helps!
Donna says
That is a definite possibility! Thanks!
Ash says
A truly delightful and delectable recipe … appealing to the eyes and to the palate in the very first attempt ! Was loved by everone in the family ❤️❤️🎖
Thanks so much for the lovely review, Ash. We are so glad you and your family enjoyed it! Next time, would you mind leaving a rating with your review? It’s super helpful for us and other readers. Thanks so much! Xo
Michelle Ray says
I made this tonight and it was so delicious! I did improvise because I didn’t have some things on hand. No dill for the hummus dressing so I used adobo seasoning with roasted red pepper hummus and half a lemon. Yummy! For the tomato topping I diced ruby red cherry tomatoes, fresh cilantro, red onion, scallions, and lemon juice. Otherwise followed recipe. Will definitely make again!
We’re so glad you enjoyed it, Michelle! Love your creative modifications. Thanks so much for sharing! xo
Lillian says
I was looking for ways to incorporate sweet potatoes into my diet. So glad I found this recipe. Loved it though I changed it a lot, lol. I used the beet hummus that I’d made the day before and I didn’t have tomatoes so I sauteed some onions with red bell peppers. Also added some diced pickled cucumbers on top. The sweet potato and chickpea base is soo versatile. Will be making this again and again.
Love your creativity, Lillian! Thanks so much for the lovely review and for sharing your modifications! xo
Caitlin Elks says
Light, fresh a satisfying! All the flavours work really well together, good as a side dish, a meal or a big snack. Even the chickpeas by themselves are tasty to snack on!
We had half of a medium sweet potato each with a side dish and are very full.
We’re so glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for sharing, Caitlin!
Karen says
Once again your recipe doesn’t disappoint! Perfect blend of flavor and texture! The dill sauce makes this divine. Instead of topping the potato with the cherry tomatoes, I made a small side salad: arugula, cherry tomatoes, and red onions with a dressing of rice vinegar and lemon. Yummy! (That’s 3 of your recipes this week!)
Aw, thanks Karen! We’re so glad you enjoyed it. xo
Melissa says
This is SO good. I have never been a big fan of sweet potatoes but have recently started eating them as part of an anti-inflammation diet. The sweet, spice and acid combo of this recipe is amazing. I forgot i was eating sweet potatoes and maybe even like them now 😉 another 10/10, Dana ♥️
Yay! Love it, Melissa. Thanks so much for sharing! xo
Silvana says
Delicious!!!! A huge success at home. Thank you!
Yay! Thanks for sharing, Silvana!
Nicole says
This was amazing. I always make your desserts and finally tried one of your vegan dishes and it did not disappoint. Thank you for making cooking fun again during this year of quarantine. Everything you make is sooo good. My mother in law gave me an A+ for this dish!!
Whoop! Thanks for sharing, Nicole!
Daniel Bartrope says
Made this tonight it was delicious! We pan fried some vegan sausages, sliced and added to the plate.
We’re so glad you enjoyed it, Daniel. Thanks so much for the lovely review! xo
Courtney says
Oh MY! This is delicious! Everyone loved it in my house. I made the recipe as written with the exception of the chili garlic sauce because I didn’t have any.
Yay yay! Thanks for sharing, Courtney!
Michelle Medina says
This recipe was so delicious . Thank you for providing such an amazing recipe. Btw i added the red onions like the video had it. I think it would be good to make that part of the recipe along with parsley and cherry tomatoes. The added bonus is that i feel good after eating it!
Amazing! Thanks, Michelle!
Nicole says
I only made the garlic dill sauce. It was really delicious but, based on my palette, needed 2x hummus vs. what the recipe called for to balance out the garlic and lemon. I used dried dill but I think fresh dill would’ve made this a 5 star sauce!
Thanks for the feedback, Nicole!
Caitlin Elks says
We added more hummus as well. We found it to be too strong of a flavour and a little runny beforehand
Emilie says
It was quick and easy to make, and had most of the ingredients already which was great. It’s filling and fresh. The sauce is super yummy I wish I made more. I added figs and pomegranate to the tomato’s which made it super fresh.
Yay! Thanks for sharing, Emilie!
unatuna says
This was the perfect, low-effort but super tasty meal I was looking for on a cold, rainy night. I almost didn’t bother making the garlicky tahini sauce as I was feeling really lazy but *so* glad I did as it was a star in its own right and really brought everything together. Will definitely be adding this to our rotation of weekday meals! x
Right?! So glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the lovely review!
Brittany M. says
This is one of my favorite sweet potato recipes! So packed with flavor! I use roasted red bell pepper hummus for the extra flavor addition. Sometimes I chop the sweet potatoes and put them in the air fryer. This is also the recipe that got me into parsley. So tasty 😋
Yay! Thanks for sharing, Brittany! xo
Ambrea says
I made this for dinner tonight and it exceeded all expectations! It was absolutely delicious, although I should have known as every recipe on this site has been phenomenal! I did tweak the tahini sauce recipe so the kiddo would like it and it was quite a success. 15 year old approved! :)
Whoop! We’re so glad you enjoy our recipes, Ambrea! Thanks so much for the lovely review!
Linsey says
On a quest to eat more sweet potatoes since I’ve never really liked them, but need some more variety in my meals. These are amazing! I thought they were seasoned wonderfully, the sweet potatoes, chickpeas, tomatoes, parsley all melded together perfectly. Making again this week, though I’m going to change the sauce. Not a huge fan of the sauce. So maybe the lemon tahini sauce?
Either way, very delicious, super easy, and reheats great the next day, too!
Thanks for sharing, Linsey! We think lemon tahini would pair nicely!
Mallory says
Super easy to make and perfect for lunches to carry to work! As I was making it, I realized the hummus I had in the fridge had gone bad.. rather than making it fresh or running to the store I decided to use non-fat greek yogurt in its place and ended up making a tzaziki style dressing. It was still super delicious, especially with the tomato and parsley toppings!
We’re so glad that worked well! Thanks so much for sharing, Mallory!
Chris J says
Seriously underseasoned dish based on your recommendations. Needed more salt, more…everything. This is a typical…western approach to ‘exotic’ dishes, thinking that certain flavors will scare American palates.
Kelly says
It was delicious, but the cooking time needed to be increased for the potatoes to be done (even with cutting them in half). I will definitely make these again.
Thanks for the feedback, Kelly! Is it possible you were using larger sweet potatoes? We’re glad you enjoyed it though!
Kristen says
Our family isn’t a fan of chickpeas (though we do still love our hummus!). Any suggestions on a potential sub for the chickpeas? Would beans be weird?
Maybe white beans? They probably won’t crisp up like the chickpeas though!
rv2094 says
I’ve made this twice and it was delicious. I added fresh chopped jalapeños and mint leaves to the hummus sauce, and topped my bowl with homemade garlic sauce (labneh), cherry tomatoes, chopped Persian cucumbers and cilantro. An extremely tasty and filling meal that’s become a week night staple at my house. Thank you for sharing this!
We’re so glad you enjoy it! Thanks so much for the lovely review! xo
Clive says
I made this within the 30min timeframe. Super easy to make and very yummy. Will definitely make it again. I made my own humus which I pack with alot of flavour so the sauce was very lovely(didn’t have to use as much liquid as specified)
Whoop! Thanks for sharing, Clive!
Katie says
Made this for dinner tonight. It was a big hit. I spaced chickpeas with the cumin, coriander, etc., before putting it into the oven to roast. My husband isn’t a fan of sweet potatoes so he had regular potatoes. I didn’t have any hummus so I used baba ghanouj as the sauce and it was delicious! Served halloumi on the side. I’d make it again for sure!
We’re so glad you both enjoyed it, Katie! Thanks so much for sharing! xo
Janel says
Made this tonight. My husband has requested that we have it every week. Easy and great flavor!
We’re so glad you both enjoy it, Janel! Thanks so much for sharing!
Nidhi says
I made this for my mom and I today. LOL we only had one big sweet potato but it was enough for the both of us. My mom was surprised that the chickpeas roasted in the oven. Such a beautiful recipe! Thank you so much! Next up: Roasted Red Pepper Pasta!
We’re so glad you enjoyed it, Nidhi! Thanks for sharing! Enjoy the pasta =)
Lowri says
I am the worst cook in the world but even I can make this, and IT IS DELICIOUS. I love making it for friends and have someone on their way for lunch right now! So tasty it’s hard to believe it’s both vegan and healthy.
Yay! We’re so glad you enjoy this recipe, Lowri! Thanks so much for the lovely review!
Mike says
Any chance you know if this can be made on the grill? Any suggestions for how to do it if that’s the case? Thanks!
I’d say poke holes in whole sweet potatoes with a fork, wrap in foil, and set in a low-heat part of the grill covered for a “baked potato” effect. The chickpeas could be done on a cast iron over a higher flame. Hope that helps!
Mike says
Helps a lot! Thanks!
Mia Pea says
Loved this so much we added it to our family meal plan rotation. So easy to make and delicious every we time we make it!
Whoop! Thanks so much for sharing, Mia!
Marnie Mugford says
I just made this as suggested and I might be one of my favorite things I’ve ever eaten!! Outstanding!
Whoop! Thanks so much for the lovely review, Marnie! xo
Emir says
Holy Moly, coming from an Arabic background, I was hesitant to use Hummus dip as a sauce, but but but I completely understood why you choose Hummus as the dip. This dish was so good that we even ate our lunch portions for dinner.
We’re so glad you enjoyed it, Emir! Thanks so much for the lovely review!
Gayatri says
this was so good! when i first tasted the hummus dip I didn’t think I made it right (even though I followed the instructions) but when I ate it all together, it tasted amazing!
PRO TIP for the chickpeas – I like to wash them in water, and if you fill the bowl up completely, the little skins float to the top, makes it much faster to take them out.
Thanks so much for the lovely review, Gayatri. We are so glad you enjoyed it! Next time, would you mind leaving a rating with your review? It’s super helpful for us and other readers. Thanks so much! Xo
Sara says
This is so good! I’m definitely going to make this again and again (and again).
Whoop! Thanks so much for sharing, Sara!
Salina says
Another recipe from minimalist baker that doesn’t disappoint! I’m a long time fan of your recipes and had to try this one when I came across it. It turned out DELICIOUS! Surprisingly very savory, initially I was hesitant about how sweet potatoes would pair with the rest of the ingredients. I would definitely make this again. I added tatziki to mines as well.
We’re so glad you enjoyed it, Salina! Thanks so much for the lovely review!
Tanja says
Oops forgot to vote …Scrumptious, so satisfyingly nourishing. I added sliced red pepper on top. Love the crunch of the roasted spicy chickpeas. This one will become a staple dish.
Thanks Dana!
xoxo!
Matea says
Just made this as a last minute dinner for myself. Had all of the ingredients on hand minus dill, cumin and coriander. Honestly this was amazingly delicious. 10/10 can’t wait to eat this again!!!
Whoop! Thanks so much for sharing, Matea! xo
Yaminah says
Would dry chickpeas work here, also?
Sure, you could cook them from dry!
TK says
This was incredibly good and easy!! The dressing – wow. I can’t wait to make it again! Thank you!
Yay! Thanks so much for sharing! xo
Katie says
My daughter and I made this and it was delicious. Everyone ate it, including some kids. I used a Creole seasoning on the chickpeas instead, because of the kids taste buds. The sauce was great. I lined the potatoes up on a pretty serving tray and drizzled the sauce over, then sprinkled the chick peas across them all. (We didn’t do any other toppings.) It was a beautiful presentation. I printed Dana’s
e-book so I could choose more recipes to try. I love that she includes gluten free recipes because we need them over here!
Thanks for sharing, Katie! We’re so glad everyone enjoyed it!
Raquel says
Dana, this was FABULOUS. Wanted to avoid another trip to the grocery store and use what we had on hand. Other than the tomatoes I had everything I needed at home! I subbed jarred roasted red peppers for the tomatoes – great pantry friendly swap! This was super flavorful, filling and healthy.
Angélique says
Hi!
I have made this numerous times and it’s totally amazing as is!
Any recommendations for a side dish to accompany this meal?
Yay, thanks for sharing! We think it would be excellent with a kale salad (or really any salad)! Such as this one. Hope that helps!
Carol says
I did a quick Google search looking for vegan sweet potato recipes and your recipe came up. Made it for dinner – minus oil. I added some spinach on the side to boost our greens. The flavors and seasonings were delicious and also accented the spinach. Another Minimalist Baker success! Thank you!
We’re so glad you enjoyed this recipe, Carol! Thanks for sharing!
Mary says
Just made this and it was easy and absolutely delicious!! So very flavorful!
Lily says
I think I already rated this recipe, but I’m back!
I have made this recipe more times than I can count and I’m still SO obsessed with it. I’ve also given the recipe out to friends, all who have loved it.
One of the times I made this, I realized I didn’t have cinnamon for the chickpeas. I used allspice instead and it came out really good! So that’s what I use now instead of the cinnamon. Just wanted to share :)
Whoop! We’re so glad you enjoy it, Lily! xo
Stacy says
Because I paired the sweet potatoes with the shawarma cauliflower steaks also found on this site, I changed the chickpea spice mix to za’atar for a little variety…plus homemade hummus. Great way to keep middle eastern spices on a vegan menu. Thank you
Thanks for sharing, Stacy!
Annmarie Occhiogrosso says
Wow, this was SO good! We definitely want to have it again. It tastes even better than it looks and it looks beautiful! Also, it’s more filling that you would think. Not much to clean up as far as pots and pans. Thank you for all your delicious recipes Minimalist Baker!!! <3 <3 <3
Yay! We’re so glad you enjoyed it, Annmarie! xo
Fiona says
I made this dish for my vegetarian teens. It was absolutely delicious & a hit with the whole family. I made it as per the recipe provided. It will be going on our regular meal rotation.
Latitia Clay says
Sweet potatoes are one of my favorite vegetables and I am trying to eat an increasingly more Mediterranean diet so when I saw this recipe it sounded good right off the top. And it is wonderful!! I subbed Italian herbs for dill and mint leaves for the parsley. I love the seasoning and roasting of the chickpeas. Delicious!! I will definitely make today again. Thanks!
Natalie says
Sooooo good!
I made this for dinner and it was perfect! I didn’t have a lemon for the sauce and it was still delicious without it.
Callie V says
I loved this recipe! The seasonings on the beans (especially the cinnamon which I was skeptical of!) went great with the sweet potatoes. The sauce on top added a nice zing to the whole dish. I subbed great northern beans cause my husband isn’t a huge fan of chickpeas and it worked well! I added tomatoes and pickled red onions and it gave a great freshness to the dish. Definitely will be making this one again. Thanks Dana! ❤️
We’re so glad you enjoyed it, Callie! Thanks so much for the lovely review!
Rebecca says

Emilia says
Hi, is the nutritional value information for two halves of a sweet potato (a whole one), or just for half of one?
Hi Emilia, it’s for two halves. Hope that helps!
Sarah Bursey says
Hi about to make this and realized we don’t have chickpeas, could I sub Black Beans?
White beans would probably work better here if you have them, but black beans should be okay. We’d suggest baking for less time if using a smaller bean.
Sana says
Oh my. Please marry me.
Or if not that’s also cool, so long as you keep dreaming up these amazing recipes! I’ve been vegan for a couple of years and have been quietly making bad copies of your amazing recipes for years, md finally have the hang of them.
These turned out amazingly, and I will make them again and again! Thanks a lot!
Ha! We’re so glad you enjoyed this recipe, Sana! xo

I didn’t change anything, except added a chicken meat, because we are not vegetarians ;) …so tasty.

Joleen says
I usually have hummus on hand but it is flavored (roasted red pepper). What type of hummus should I be using?
Plain hummus would be best
brinacyl says
came out superb! i just increased each spice by 1/4 tsp and added red chilli powder for heat.
brinacyl says
Oh my goodness! These came out delicious! Thank you for a superb recipe. I only increased spices (around 1/4 tsp more) and also added red chilli powder. Pakistani love spices!

Lovely meal. The flavours are beautiful together. I used tahini for the sauce and fresh dill from the garden ?
Wonderful! Thanks for sharing, Laila!
Laura Jackson says
My daughter’s getting married in the spring and she’s asked me to make something that would set off the featured menu item; roast pig. This is it! I’ve tried it (I don’t even like sweet potatoes) and it must be the garlic and dill – this can’t fail.
Thank you!

Thought it was 5 stars the first time ?

This is our favourite meal to make! We have made this dish a couple times a month, for the last three years. We use yellow (light) flesh sweet potatoes instead of yams and green onion instead of parsley. BF and I have slight variations in spices, I stick to the recipe and he wings it. This recipe is easy and so so delicious!
We’re so glad you enjoy this recipe! Thanks for sharing!
Anne Lemieux says
My boyfriend and I are giving a vegan diet a try. And let me tell you, we are pleasantly surprised! All of the food we have made so far has been so immensely packed with flavor, filling, and satisfying—no animals harmed.
That said, this recipe has 100% made our “will make again” list! It’s got to be the easiest one we’ve tried yet, which is great for two busy college students like ourselves. Not only is it easy, but it’s also filling and packed with flavor. I am normally not a tomato fan, but this presented them in a way that had me savoring each bite.
Thanks for the lovely recipe! We will be back :)
We’re so glad you enjoyed this recipe! Thanks so much for the lovely review!
Aviott John says
I cooked this dish for a vegan friend, and it was a smash hit, both with her and one of her carnivorous friends. Best of all, it was so easy to make. Thank you very much. Aviott, Vienna, Austria
Maddie says
I loved this! We eat stuffed sweet potatoes about once a week so this was a nice change-up! The toppings were super fresh and herbaceous. The only thing I would do next time is make more of both the sauce(I used tahini) and tomato-parsley mixture, as we loved both so much. Will definitely make again!
Sophie says
Had to switch to all purpose seasoning but tastes amazing lovely contrast with the spicy chickpeas, sweet potato, and cool sauce!

Jessica M. says
This is one of my go-to meals now. I almost always have everything on hand to make it. It’s quick, easy and combines many of my favorite flavors. Roasting the sweet potatoes ahead of time makes it even faster for my busy weeknights running kiddos around. I change it up from time to time, sometimes adding zucchini that I roast alongside the chickpeas or some quinoa for even more nutrition, but more often than not I have it as written because it’s just great as-is. Thanks for putting so much goodness out into the world!
Lindsy says
Forgot to give our rating!!
Lindsy says
Hello! We LOVE this recipe in our house. One of our favorites. We have cut out oil at home, and continue to use it just in this recipe… but i was curious if there is a way to make this without oil? I have tried by using a little like juice but the chickpeas didn’t get crispy. I do also have the breville air fryer/oven.
Thanks in advance!
Judy says
This was fantastic and so simple to make! I added diced avocado to the tomato/parsley topping and used lime juice in place of lemon. Definitely worth a repeat.
Donna says
I made this tonight, it is SO amazingly good!! Followed the recipe just about exactly, it’s a perfect, no guilt meal. I took a pic of my dish, it looked so good!! Thank you!

Carol says
Made and tweaked with what I had after a long day at work.
Baked sweet potato,
Tinned chickpeas, didn’t roast,
Leftover cooked chicken,
Creme freche,
Cherry tomato, lemon juice, fresh basil leaves.
Added ground pepper and garlic salt.
It was divine.
Thank you.

For serving! xo
Licia P says
I have been wanting to make these sweet potatoes for some time now, and finally had the chance today when I had to scrape together dinner based on what we already had in the house (busy weekend, did not get to go to the grocery). I had every ingredient on hand except fresh parsley, so I used dried parsley and it worked just fine. I thought they were delicious and my hubby, a sworn carnivore and semi-reluctant eater of vegan fare, loved them too. I loved the crunchiness of the roasted spiced chick peas with the softer texture of the sweet potatoes. The garlic herb sauce (I used hummus and tahini because, why not) and tomato were the perfect toppings. A very satisfying meal indeed!

Kelly says
Excellent, easy, and fast. I will definitely be making this again soon! I put in an extra clove of garlic and used Caraway seed instead of dill because we were out. It was delicious! My partner and I are looking forward to having the leftovers for lunch tomorrow.
Marley says
Absolutely delicious! I’ve made this several times now and it’s the perfect meal! I also add chicken. Thank you for all your delicious and healthy recipes!
xoxo!
Erin says
I love the garlic hummus sauce and am thinking of making a giant batch of it for salads and things. How long should this sauce keep in the fridge if you use fresh herbs? About a week? 2 weeks of dried herbs?
Great idea! It should keep about 1 week.
Katie Amey says
This was so delicious! I had to improvise a sauce (mayo, milk, lemon juice, hot sauce, chili powder, crushed red pepper flakes) because the ingredients your recipe called for, but it was absolutely yummy. Even my 15yo daughter who isn’t really a sweet potato fan, listened to me when I suggested she try the three together – sweet potato, chick peas, and sauce – in the same bite. I will return to this often. Thanks for such an easy and delicious meatless dish.
Thanks for sharing, Katie!!
Leia Spencer says
I made this for a weekday family meal. I chose to make some modifications to better fit my family and ease of eating. I instead chopped the sweet potatoes and roasted them as bite sized pieces. I cooked some wild rice, and used some left over falafels as well. Having the sweet potatoes small made eating them a lot easier and we weren’t, therefore, chasing chickpeas across our plates! Of course the presentation wasn’t as beautiful, but all the flavours remained the same. The sauce was great and I used tahini instead of hummus, as I felt there was plenty of chickpeas in the meal. It was simple to make as the oven did most of the work. My family devoured it, and my father who was over working, chose to stay for supper instead of going home to see what mom was making!
We’re so glad your family enjoyed it, Leia! Your modifications sound lovely! xo
Gemma Walmsley says
Such a great meal! It did not take long to cook at all, and my husband (an avid meat-eater) loved it. Thank you!
We’re so glad you both enjoyed it, Gemma! Thanks for sharing!
Adria Coghlin says
I loved this! Super easy and satisfying. I want to try the sauce with hummus rather than tahini next time. I also replaced chic peas with Brussel sprouts. Super delicious would recommend to plant based eaters!

Ann-Marie says
Made this for dinner tonight for my picky vegan boyfriend tonight. He said he wasn’t hungry but would try it as I made the effort. His only comment was that it would have been great with some more heat. His plate was clean!!! Next time I’ll add chilli. I thought the recipe was easy to follow and was absolutely delicious and filling. Left overs for tomorrow and just can’t wait to have for lunch. Thanks for the wonderful recipe.

Allie Rogers says
This might be the highest Deliciousness-to-Difficulty ratio I have ever encountered in a meal. The chickpeas make such a wonderful side dish to the sweet potato — all I added was some roasted spinach, and it felt like a surprisingly well-rounded, hearty meal despite being so simple. This recipe was truly really easy to cook, so healthy, and CHEAP to shop for, too! I skipped the dill and parsley because I just did not feel like buying herbs, and it was still plenty flavorful :)
haha LOVE! Thanks for sharing, Allie!
Rebecca says
Absolutely delicious!
Thanks for the idea. The flavors blended together perfectly.
We’re so glad you enjoyed them, Rebecca! Thanks for sharing!
PJ says
I made this for Thanksgiving Eve dinner and everyone loved it. I did double the tomato and parsley topping, and next time I would double the hummus sauce as more would be better. It is for sure a keeper recipe.

Abby Zukowski says
I made this tonight and it was a big hit. Since I had no oven available to me this evening, I cut up the sweet potato into large chunks and steamed them stovetop with a touch of water and olive oil. I pan-roasted the chickpeas with all the herbs and spices. I used the hummus along with a big tablespoon of peanut butter, and the garlic, herbs and spices to make the sauce. I had the cherry tomatoes but no fresh parsley unfortunately, but used dried parsley. Flavors were bursting, great textures, a really delicious and filling dinner, perfect for a cold night. Thank you for the great recipe!
Very clever! We’re so glad you enjoyed these! Thanks for sharing!
Marie says
I am addicted to this recipe! I eat this at least once a week and could eat it every day it is so yummy
Whoop! We’re so glad you enjoy it, Marie!
Nicole says
This was delicious! I made it in a scramble last night when I realized I was totally prepared for Thanksgiving but forgot about the meals leading up to Thanksgiving. Ugh. The recipe was easy, used ingredients that were already in the house, and was so, so flavorful. Thanks for saving our Tuesday night!
Ha! We can relate. We’re so glad you enjoyed it, Nicole! xo
Joi says
Delicious. Such a flavorful combination. I added a used tahini for the sauce and added a little dill pickle juice to intensify the flavor and cayenne pepper for a little kick.
Zahra says
Delicious
Jennifer Witt says
This was fantastic! I made it exactly as written except I cut the sweet potatoes into thinner pieces so they would cook faster. This is the best new recipe I have tried in quite a while and I will definitely make it again. My best friend and I both went back for seconds.
Great! Thanks, Jennifer!
Alison Y. says
This was SO delicious!!! It will definitely become a regular for me. I didn’t have any hummus, so I used the tahini version instead. Definitely needed more lemon, garlic, and salt, but was SO delicious! The fresh parsley on top is a must – really livens it up. I like heat, so I added some Trader Joe’s Zhoug Sauce (if you’ve not tried, get some asap!!) to the top as well, and the flavor mixed perfectly. Thanks for the delicious new addition to my recipe collection!
Whoop! Thanks for sharing, Alison!
Laura says
We had this fantastic recipe tonight. Delicious! Our sweet potatoes took longer to cook so we had to take the chickpeas out for a while. I don’t even like sweet potatoes very much, usually!

Thanks Laura!
Caroline says
So good! Cooking the sweet potatoes face side down gives them a nice caramelized glaze. I added a touch of red onion to the salad. Thanks for the recipe!
Thanks for sharing, Caroline! We’re so glad you enjoyed it! xo
Kaylee says
We made this for a dinner of mixed vegans and non-vegans. Everyone loved it! I’m slow at cooking and usually it takes me way longer than the estimated time to finish preparing a meal. But this one I can truly finish in 30 minutes, so it has entered the dinner rotation.
On an especially busy week, I’ll make a double portion of the salad and sauce. I save it in the fridge so that the second day we eat this I only have to bake some fresh sweet potatoes and the meal is ready!
Yay! Thanks for sharing!!
Melissa Weiss says
Just made this for dinner (with a few spice substitutions). Delicious fall meal idea and super easy to make! I added pan fried red peppers and goat cheese as well. I will definitely make again, as well as the sauce for other dishes.
Thanks for sharing!
Lauren says
This is AMAZING!! The tahini base is so good I don’t even want to try the hummus one. I use the oil/spice leftover from coating the chick peas to rub the sweet potatoes, which I find gives the sweet potatoes even more flavor. This keeps really well too, just store the pieces separately and combine when ready to eat. I always run out of tomatoes first because they’re so good. Honestly the smoky plus crunchy plus sweet ticks off all the boxes — a real winner!
Thanks for sharing, Lauren!
Sarah says
This is literally my favorite meal ever! I’m a bit lazy and mash the sweet potato with the spices, tops with the garlic hummus sauce, and add broccoli with Lemmon juice. I made this for myself like 5 days a week. And it’s super good for weight loss!
Jessica says
This is honestly so delicious and easy!! While making it I realized I didn’t have chickpeas but cooked up some quinoa instead and it was still great.
Yay! So glad you enjoyed it, Jessica! Thanks for sharing! xo
Sharon says
This is the most delightful way I’ve ever eaten sweet potatoes! I loved the crunchiness of the spiced chickpeas, the sauce, and the marinated toppings. I used tahini as the base of the sauce, and it did require more garlic, lemon juice, and a little salt to bring out the flavor. When I have a little more time I’ll make the hummus. For the toppings I chopped up a tomato, used dried parsley and fresh basil because that’s what I had on hand. I didn’t have any chili garlic sauce, but it was amazing just with these ingredients marinated in lemon juice. Thank you for this gourmet recipe!
So glad you enjoyed it, Sharon! Thanks so much for the lovely review! xo
Christina says
Quick, easy, and delicious!! The garlic + dill + lemon + tahini combo is BOMB! I left out the cumin and subbed cilantro for the parsley. Soooo gooood.

Shadow McKnight says
Excellent Recipe! I love the flavor combination & the ease of this. Realized I didn’t have coriander & was out of cinnamon when I started making this & it was still wonderful. Recipes like this – where you can use things you have on hand – make me extremely happy. Also, once dressed nicely on a plate, it looks like you worked a lot harder than you did (which is always a plus)! I used tahini for the garlic herb sauce & it was great. Also, this method of cooking sweet potatoes is a winner!
Agreed! We love this one, too!
Tara says
This is amazing! I just made it, the combination of flavours is perfect! Thanks so much for this recipe, a new favourite for sure!!!

adrienne says
OOOOOOPPSS!!!
I failed to complete the rating part w/my original commentary – so please count this as Part 2.
ALSO – I had enough for a 2nd round of this dish and decided to use SALSA because I forgot to go pick up some tomatoes and WOW!!! That’s yummy too!! I do enjoy how versatile this dish is, thanks again!
Amanda says
This recipe is amazing! I think my husband and I have made it every couple of weeks since finding it. It comes together really easily and quickly, AND it’s healthy and delicious! I like to add just a bit of olive oil, salt, and pepper to the tomato and parsley mixture – it ends up like a light tomato salad that goes all over the potatoes. Thank you for creating this dish!
We are so glad you both enjoy it, Amanda! Thanks so much for sharing!
Shari Savage says
My husband balked when I told him that upon returning home from the hospital he would be following an anti-inflammatory diet. This was the first recipe I used, and he is totally sold. The flavors, textures and overall visual presentation are just amazing. I had tahini on hand and used that and it was great. I’ll be making this again and again.
So glad to hear you enjoyed this recipe, Shari! xo
Meagan says
super yummy! was craving some kind of dish with sweet potatoes and this recipe came up, made it for my fiancé and me and we both loved it! i had to cut down on the lemon because my fiancé has stomach problems with too much acidity but it turned out delicious anyway, such a lovely balance of flavors and healthy too! definitely will be making this recipe regularly from now on
So glad you both enjoyed it, Meagan! Thanks for sharing! xo
Adrienne Harris says
Alright, I gave this one a try and I think my head may explode from all the yumminess!!!
First – out of tomatoes so I added raw onions to the parsley/lemon juice mixture.
Second – I encourage everyone to play with flavored hummus for the sauce!!! I used jalapeno and HOLY COW!!!
Third – My chickpeas roasted too fast so I’ll have to work w/my oven.
Finally – this was a great food adventure!
Thanks so much for sharing!
Christine says
My family loves this, in fact I make it nearly every week in some form. Also, hooray for roasted chickpeas, now I can’t get enough of them!
For a super easy variation on toppings, I like thinly slicing a shallot then add it to a small cast iron pan with whole cherry tomatoes and a bit of honey. Let it roast with the potatoes and chickpeas until the tomatoes and shallot became gooey and delicious (no sauce needed). Also, Trader Joe’s sells a Dukkah spice blend that is really amazing with sweet potatoes and chickpeas. I add it before roasting. Thank you for your delicious and inspiring recipes!
Thanks so much for the lovely review and for sharing your modifications, Christine. We are so glad you enjoy this recipe! Next time, would you mind leaving a rating with your review? It’s super helpful for us and other readers. Thanks so much! xo
Erika says
Just..WOW! Thank you for sharing this recipe. It’s a nice change of pace from other flavors, and I ended up using tahini in the sauce, which was super yum. I did add a touch of maple syrup, just to take the lemon edge off. I’m guessing I had a larger lemon (and I didn’t measure—I know, I know).
Thanks, Erika!
Annie says
I diced the sweet potatoes and roasted them that way instead of halving them. Gives a nice texture and cuts down cooking time even more. Also added diced avocado. I wished I had doubled the parsley/lemon garnish. So delicious. Will toss leftovers with spinach for lunch tomorrow and make another batch of the garnish to mix in.
xoxo!!
Samantha says
Last night we made these for our supper!
I can’t tolerate chickpeas so these were my modifications.
– Swapped the chickpeas for roasted white beans
– Made a big tabbouleh salad (chopped parsley, cherry tomatoes, diced onion) for a heavy handed garnish
– Used tahini instead of hummus for the dressing
Everything turned out phenomenal!
Thanks for sharing, Samantha!
Allie says
I made this for a vegan dinner guest and it was lovely. I found the parsley a little overwhelming so next time I’ll go lighter on that, but the potatoes were perfect and the chickpeas were interesting and that sauce was amazing – I would totally mix that sauce for dipping yam fries. Yum Yum!
Paula says
I scaled down the recipe and made it for one, it was FANTASTIC! I will definitely make it again. I never leave comments on recipes, but this one really stood out as original, delicious, and plant-based. Thank You!
So glad to hear it, Paula! Thanks for the lovely review!
Natalie says
-I made the sauce using mainly tahini with a dash of store bought hummus (Grandma’s Hummus is the best!!) and added some salt – turned out great. About to make it again and double the recipe to have for lunches for a few days!
-Mixed the parsley/tomato salad with kale, leftover herbs, lemon juice, and added some chopped almonds on top for the side salad/potato topper. Highly recommend!
-Paired the rest of the meal with some grilled chicken and Israeli Red Cabbage salad. Simple to make and a crowd pleaser! Thanks so much Dana!!!
Isel Sisson says
Awesome! Tried it with some red peppers in the hummus and yummyyyyyy
Ayisha says
Incredible and complex symphony of flavors! I did modify just a little: I used cilantro instead of parsley, and the juice of a whole lemon for the sauce, instead of half. I was a little hesitant about combining all of these ingredients in a meal. But this was delicious and filling.
haha yay! Thanks, Ayisha!
Marilyn says
Delish! Roasted the sweet potato and cooked the chickpeas on the stove with all the spices. The sauce went well with everything else. I will definitely make it again!
Thanks, Marilyn!
Amy says
I just started the Arbonne 30 days to healthy living today and wanted to be sure I’m satisfied, both regard to feeling full and enjoying full flavors.
This recipe was very easy, full of flavor and I’m completely satisfied.
I didn’t have any dill so I used a little rosemary and a little thyme. This sauce can be used for so many things.
Delicious!
Nicole says
This sounds really delicious and I’m planning to make this tomorrow.
I was just wondering how long you bake the Potato and the Chickpeas?
I’ve tried to make rosted Chickpeas before and they’ve always turned out too dry or burned (you can tell I’m not the greatest cook ^^)
To your Note #6 to substitute Thahini if you don’t have Hummus. I just want to mention, if you have Chickpeas and Thahini you already have the main Hummus ingredients.
I just toss them with a little lemon juice, some salt and water for the consistency in the blender till smooth. I haven’t managed to mess that up till now, so its really easy ;)
Hi Nicole, we typically cook them for about 25 minutes. Cook time will vary depending on the size of your sweet potato. Hope that helps!
Alix says
This is a staple in our house now – we’ve made it for years and we love it. Always returning to it as a flavourful and delicious recipe! The chickpeas are such a nice crunch with this dish, too! Thank you so much!
Leah says
I made this tonight and it was seriously so good it had such a good combanation of flavors. I followed the recipe exactly except when I pulled out the sweet potatoes to add the chickpeas I sliced up a pear and laid the thinly sliced pear pieces on top of the sweet potatoes and drizzled them with a little bit of organic blue agave nectar and then sprinkled them with cinnamon and continued roasting them for another 25 min. It was amazing with the added pears but I think it still would have been amazing without them. I loved this recipe I will definitely make this again soon! Thanks for the recipe!
Happy Miracle Eats says
I tried your recipe, it was delicious. Thank you for sharing this recipe.
Kori says
I made this the other night, and it was incredible! My husband and I loved all of the flavors together, especially the spiced roasted chickpeas. Thank you!
Kori says
I made this dish this evening after a Barre3 + yoga class, & it came together effortlessly!! My husband & I absolutely loved it, & I felt a little fancy when I drizzled the beautiful sauce over top. So wonderful!
Jolene says
Love this recipe, super easy and delicious! Has become a regular favourite in our house. Because I love salad, I add avocado, cucumber, basil and baby spinach to the salad and make it more of a side salad… tastes amazing!
Kayla says
I am teaching myself how to cook and often look for recipes that are healthy without sacrificing flavor. The video was really great and gave me a visual boost of confidence on how I was going to tackle the recipe. I LOVED how this turned out!! The flavors were incredible and I felt so proud to serve this. My boyfriend is a meat lover so I was amazed when he inhaled it and went for seconds! The sauce is something I will use for other recipes in the future. Thank you again! Happy cooking:)
So glad you and your boyfriend both enjoyed these! Thanks so much for the lovely review! xo
Tara Meyer says
This is a regular for us. Its easy and delicious. I like to add some chopped mint and red onion to the parsley tomato to amp up the Mediterranean flair. So good!
So glad you are enjoying this, Tara. Love your modifications as well! Next time, would you mind leaving a rating with your review? It’s super helpful for us and other readers. Thanks so much! xo
Rachel says
I made this today and it was yummy. I overbaked the potatoes/chickpeas. I tend to do better with timers than “check on that.” But I can tell it’s all yummy. I love all the lemon juice.
Paul tokmakian says
My wife and I loved this recipe! Really yummy. I did not add any garlic because my wife had a sensitivity to it. Still great! I added mint to the tomato topping which worked well too.
Anna Sarkissova says
This recipe is so tasty!!!!!
Yum!!!
Christine says
Works very well and tastes great! Thank you soooo much :-)
Dane says
Absolutely delicious! I’ve been looking for a good vegan sauce to add to my Greek and Mediterranean dishes and the one for this recipe is it :)
Yay! We’re glad to hear that, Dane!
Tana says
OMG so delicious…my husband couldn’t say enough good things about it. Thank you for posting. This will become a favorite I’m thinking.
We’re so glad to hear that, Tana!
Shawna B says
Delicious recipe and yummy dressing. I used tahini as suggested as it’s what I had on hand. I generally don’t like tahini dressings. This one was super yummy. I topped mine with cooked kale and a toasted super seed/grain mix since I don’t like parsley or raw tomatoes. Your recipes have been a god send since transitioning to a plant based diet. The hardest part is choosing which recipe to try next.
Mila says
This recipe is awesome! I would’ve never guessed how well all the ingredients paired with each other. It was so easy to make which was a huge bonus. Thank you for this recipe. I will definitely make it again.
BJ says
I just made this. Were the chickpeas supposed to be crunchy? I wasn’t a fan of the flavor on them. I did however enjoy the garlic hummus sauce. I’d make this again but probably without the chickpeas. Or maybe just plain roasted.
Yes, the chickpeas should be fairly crunchy in this recipe!
Zoe says
I am trying to have more plant-based meals in my diet and this has to be one of my favourite vegan meals yet! I didn’t have any parsley so I substituted it with basil and it was so good!
jessica says
Made this with my daughter who is disabled, so easy to make and very filling, we both enjoyed this.
I am just wondering if you are able to freeze the garlic sauce as we did not use all of this and im nut sure were use it up anytime soon..
Kara says
This was sooooooo good! I made the sauce two different ways – with greek yogurt and with hummus – LOVE the hummus version so much more! Being a serious lover of all things dairy this really surprised me.
It is winter so I didn’t try it with the tomato/parsley topping.
Elizabeth says
This is in my dinner rotation now! This is great even with chickpeas straight from the can, no seasonings necessary. Tastes amazing with the tahini garlic herb sauce from the recipe, or with homemade tzatziki :)
Chances says
What an interesting twist on a baked sweet potato! My husband is a big meat eater and he actually loved this dish! I will definitely make it again. What I loved most was the dill sauce. I only had tahini at home and next time I think I’d double the sauce because it was sooooo sooooo good.
Whoop! We are glad your husband enjoyed this recipe :D
Sarah says
I’m OBSESSED with this recipe! I make it about 3-4 times a week for dinner. So cheap, fast, easy, and flavorful! I always mash up the potato in a bowl mix in the chickpeas and hummus sauce then add broccoli with lemon juice. Best recipe ever, thank you ! :D
Abi says
The instructions are confusing so are we supposed to use almond milk for the sauce or you have an option to use either?
You can use either water or unsweetened almond milk!
Hayley Morrin says
Made this (scaled down for 2 people) to use up a 1/2 can of chickpeas I had leftover from making something else. This was honestly the best new meal I’ve made in a long time. Thank-you so much for the recipe; I’ll be making at least once a month! :)
Yay! Thanks for sharing, Hayley!
Zorana says
Made this today and it turned out AMAZING! Needles to say, I cleaned my plate (twice) :D
Thank you for this recipe!
Laurie says
There isn’t a single recipe from Minimalist Baker that I don’t absolutely love — and this one get a special crown. I don’t typically leave comments either so you know this recipe is a yummy one. I made it exactly as the recipe says and used water instead of almond milk in the tahini. It is one of those recipes I go back to again and again because it’s easy, delicious, and makes great leftovers. I love packing it up for lunch at work. I put my sweet potato and the toppings in different containers. I heat the potato and chickpeas together in the microwave and then top it with the tomato and tahini. Thank you Dana!!!
Max says
Wenn Made thus tongiht, and fortunately people loved IT, i also did. Thank you for sharing. Yummy
Alicia B says
I made this just as the recipe said, it was absolutely amazing! Definitely going to be having this again and again!!
ashlee j says
i adore minimalistbaker. but i did not enjoy this recipe. i had my reservarions about it bc of the conflict of herbal and sweet. i wanted to like it, however i could not stomach it, each aspect of the meal was perfection on its own. i think the toppings would be better on a none sweet starch like rice or quinoa. thank you though for teaching me how to make these awesome mediterranean toppings.
Lauren says
I made this recipe and loved it! I used half hummus, half tahini, extra lemon juice, fresh dill, salt, and pepper for the sauce. It was delicious! I made some plain steamed broccoli as a side and drizzled the sauce on that, too. I will be making this recipe again!
Whoop! Sounds delicious, Lauren!
Cynthia says
For a little over 3 months we have been (attempting) to embrace a vegan whole food diet. With many failures under our belt … this recipe was a true winner! It was quick, simple and delicious.
Placed the sweet potato in the oven, walked the dog and came home to assemble all the ingredients together easy as and total Bliss!
We are so glad to hear that, Cynthia!
Jennifer Lindstedt says
Surpringly easy and really good!
Megi says
Another amazingly super delicious recipe!!! This is the fourth recipe I try and keep getting impressed from the simplicity and yet the end effect, both in look of the dish and taste!!!! I am adding to the fav list! Thank you so much, Dana! Xoxoxo
Debra says
I made this tonight and it was WONDERFUL! I was a little unsure of the tomato/parsley/lemon topping but I added it…no need to have worried….it was a really good compliment to the dish. Also the garlic herb sauce is truly amazing and so easy to make.
Elizabeth says
I made this for the first time a couple of months ago and just keep coming back to it! I want to live in a bowl full of this garlic herb sauce.
Sophie says
All the family loved this which is rare thank you xx
Woot woot!
KareninStLouis says
Just made and devoured this for dinner. This recipe is fantastic on so many levels: a variety of flavors, colors, and textures—-all delicious—-beautiful to look at, and a wonderful change of pace with the spices on the roasted chickpeas. Easy to sub for preferences. Thank you for this great meal idea. My husband and I both love it.
Whitnee Perepalkin says
This is one of my absolute favorite go to recipes. It is quick and easy to assemble. I also love that it doesnt have a long list of ingredients. I have made this for friends/family many a times and its always a hit. Thanks for an AWESOME recipe
Elle says
Making the garlic herb for veggies tonight! Thank you!
Alan says
My wife and I tried it a few months ago. Wonderful! My youngest daughter has since become vegan, and I hope to make it this weekend to impress her.
Nicely done!
Tammy Gipson says
Question for you. My husband made these last night for dinner and they were amazing! The garlic sauce was quite harsh. There aren’t any instructions on cooking the sauce. Is the garlic sauce supposed to be raw? Just wanted to confirm.
Hi Tammy, it is supposed to be raw, but feel free to scale back for milder flavor!
Zara says
Do you bake sweet potatoes and chickpeas at the same time in the oven?
Yes!
Mae says
Just made it, Just loved it, Just tagged you on instagram! Super flavorful and delicious! Keep ’em coming Minimalist Baker!
Olivia says
Is there somethimg I can use in place of the olive oil? I am trying to cook without using any oil.
Hi Olivia! Use this recipe for reference! Hope this helps!
Lidia says
This recipe is beyond good, tried it while ago and we have been daydreaming about it since so doing it again today because my boyfriend has been asking repeatedly for them. Had to stop and leave a comment. But then again, all your recipes we tried are divine, even impressed our lifetime long vegan friends when I cooked for them! Thank you so much for sharing them with us, you are enriching our lives big time.
Woot woot! Thanks for the kind words, Lidia!
Jes says
I made these tonight for dinner, and my boyfriend who hates chickpeas and parsley devoured them. He said it’s one of our top 10 dinners and demanded that it become a new staple in our rotation. I also loved it, but I knew I would. Simple, quick, budget friendly and delicious!
Caitlyn says
Has anyone on Weight Watchers made this? If so how many points is it? It was amazing!
Jamie says
Made these tonight and they were DELICIOUS. I had a maple-garlic spice blend on hand that I rubbed all over the sweet potatoes in addition to tons of cracked pepper, and it was delicious with the rest of the ingredients (added a bit of maple to the garlic-tahini dressing just to marry the flavors and add a smidge of sweetness to the dressing). My only complaint is that it just wasn’t filling to me (this is ALWAYS my complaint when eating sweet potatoes); I was hungry within half an hour. This is likely because I subbed out hummus in the dressing for tahini. I preferred this, so next time I may just double up on the chickpeas, but larger potatoes, and make it non-vegan by adding some crumbled goat cheese to up the fat content a bit (although perhaps not since I love having this recipe as a good vegan stand-by).
Chan says
I made this for my husband and I several months ago and we both loved it. It’s often hard to find plant based meals that are satisfying/filling enough for my husband, but he was totally full after 1 eating 1 sweet potato. The combinations of flavors is perfect- just like the recipe says- sweet, savory, salty, etc. I’m planning on making them again this week!
We’re glad you and your husband enjoyed it, Chan!
Tanvi Ladha says
This recipe is absolutely amazing! very less prep and cook time, and a great option for meal prep!Thanks a ton Dana! I am in love with all your recipes :)
Yana says
This turned out sooo delicious!! My husband loved it! The only thing I changed is I mixed sweet potatoes and regular potatoes cubed them and roasted in the oven. Your blog recipes are becoming a staple in our home :)
Thanks for sharing your recipe change, Yana! Glad you and your husband enjoyed the recipe!
Elise says
woah, that was DELICIOUS! Thanks so much for the recipe! It’s definitely a keeper ;)
Naomi Mack says
I made this for the first time today and it came out amazing!!! I can’t wait to make it for my friends next. I loved the flavors.
lillian says
I’ve been meaning to make soemething like this. I will have to make your recipe tomorrow. I have some yams and will sub it fornthe sweet pots ?
I know how you feel about having a good cry. To me, it feels like spring cleaning where you get rid if the old to welcome in the new. It’s necessary so I don’t get overloaded ?
BTW, I listened to Greg Laswell for the first time today. I am so hooked on “Embrace Me”. The song really moved me, so thanks for mentioning for him and thanks for the recipe ?
Sarah says
This is absolutely amazing! Definitely give it a five star – super easy, and very filling. I found that I had to take my chickpeas out before the sweet potato was done, and we had no parsley, so substituted tarragon, which also worked! Served with avocado and balsamic glaze – what a lovely meal!
Elsy says
Hello, I am trying to become a vegan, and I made this dish with not all of the ingredients because I am on a budget- regardless, most of my family members really enjoyed it. I loved it, and hope to keep cooking like this in the future. Thank you so much for the recipe!

Another great dish, Dana, and thank you! The four hungry humans in our household loved these, and everything from the halved potatoes; to the crunchy, spicy chickpeas, to the lovely dill sauce were magnificent! There was nothing left after dinner!
Glad you and your family loved the dish, Shaun!
Drew says
Tried it. Sounded really good after putting it all together and just was not impressed. Sauce, chickpeas, seasoning; none of it tasted any good. I guess I will have to try again some day.
Aryane says
Just made this with a giant sweet potato that I cut in 8! I used tahini and fresh mint instead of parsley. The chili garlic sauce really gives the perfect final touch, it was pure delight!
Mona says
I am in luv with this healthy & delicious Mediterranean Sweet Potatoes dish,,,infact I am currently waiting for the sweet potatoes & chick peas to finish roasting so I can add the toppings! I make this dish often. I wish I could upload the pic of my dish!
R. says
Really enjoyed this recipe! I added cucumber to the dressing to give a tzatziki taste and it was delicious!
Rachel says
Just made these- absolutely delicious! Thanks for the recipe.
Jean says
I’m always on the hunt for something to change up my plant-based foods. This is so big on flavor and amazing. This now has a place on my regular plan. :)
Brittany says
I overcooked the chickpeas by 5 minutes and they were a bit tough. I’ll probably cook them on a separate pan for less time next time. But the sweet potatoes were perfect, sauce was really good, and the garnish was delish! This was Amazing. Thank you so much!
Jami says
Hi Dana!
Just made this. Thinking of making pattys instead of balls, just for ease. Shouldn’t make any difference should it? It’s in the fridge now chilling. It taste delish now as is ? Going to make the dill sauce too.
We must have the same taste buds cz I love all your stuff ???
Hi Jami! I am not sure you commented on the correct recipe?
Debbie Braman says
Hi Dana, Great dressing! I added a little fresh ginger. You also mention Garlic Dill sauce, but when I click on it, I get sweet potatoes. It sounds delicious, do you have a link for that?
Thanks, Debbie
Debbie Braman says
Nevermind the question, I found the sauce. :-)
Naseem says
I made this today and am not a person who generally comments. But I had to write in and tell you how totally delicious this was! I didn’t have any dill, so used dried parsley instead. Next time I’m going to double the amount of roasted chickpeas and garlicky creamy sauce – cos they were just amazing! Thank you very much for this recipe.
Morgan says
I made this tonight and it is so so yummy! I tweaked it here and there to my liking, like using basil instead since I’m not the biggest parsley fan, but all in all a super savory delicious meal!
Cortnie says
I made the dressing and used over shredded purple cabbage and celery – so good!
Maura says
Thanks for this yummy recipe! Made it last night and was DEELISH :)
Traci Waite says
Thanks for this one! This is one of my family’s favorite recipes, and it’s so simple to make! This is the second time I made it. It’s a monthly meal now.
Kate says
Hi,
Just a friendly note that #6 instruction has the word “tahini” out of place, and makes that instruction just a little confusing.
This recipe is DELICIOUS. I have made it a few times from your recipe and this time I’m going to try to commit it to memory so I won’t need the internet to make good food!
Thank you!
Kate
Rachel says
Just made this- wow! Thank you Dana for another awesome recipe. And the sauce is just perfect- I never would’ve thought it could be so creamy and rich with only hummus and dried herbs. So good. Thank you ?
Emily says
I’ve added this into my rotation! My boyfriend and I really lean toward comforting stews in the winter, and this is just as satisfying. I add an overeasy egg on top and use two cans of chickpeas to make it more filling.
Monica says
Delicious! Sauced could be used on just about anything.
Lisa says
I love sweet potatoes. Trader Joe’s has bags of small fist-sized organic ones that I roast and eat cold for dessert! Made the Thai version from your book a few times…and it’s delicious. Trying the Mediterranean version this evening….got all the parts made and expect it to be equally delicious/satisfying.
Angela Ly says
Made this dish and had a bunch of non-vegan friends try it and they all ABSOLUTELY loved it.
Simple to make, and so super flavourful!
I made my sauce with extra fresh dill and it was literally to die for. i would put that sh*t on everyyything!!!
Thanks for this great recipe @minimalistbaker. This is my first of yours and I’m excited to try many more to come!
Courtney says
Oh my goodness! This is perhaps the best dish I have ever experimented with.
I didn’t have any tomatoes or parsley for the topping, so I switched them out for baked cavlo nero and sundried tomoates and boy on boy I devoured that meal!
The garlic sauce with the sweet potatoes and then the slightly crispy chickpeas.
Thank you for this recipe! If I could hug you right now I really would!
Amy says
These were so yummy and took practically no energy or effort. Delicious, thank you!!
Jason says
OMG best thing I’ve cooked in a long time. Had a friend over for dinner and last time I had an EPIC fail with a soggy portabello mushroom but this time whipped this together and my friend was blown away! so delicious! followed the whole thing minus the salt (which i don’t think it needs as its soon tasty).. Thanks so much! Im demo making this again!!!
Lovely – thanks for sharing!
Margaret says
Delicious, and as easy as promised. Pleasant surprise: also delicious cold the next day. Would suggest putting chickpeas on a separate roasting tray in order to take them out before the sweet potatoes — mine ended up overcooked.
Julia says
These are amazing! I’ve been craving since I first made them. I had leftover sauce which made me so very happy. I used the sauce on everything I could put it on for the next few days.
Siri Bengtsson says
Doing my meal planning at the moment and I’m drooling over this recipe. Can’t wait to cook this during the week!
Any good substitutes for cherry tomatoes in the salad?
Hi Siri! You could leave them out!
Siri says
Thanks team! I left it out and had two cans of chickpeas and added capsicum and spinach to the salad as well. Damn it was good! Told my fiancé that I want MB cookbook for Christmas. You guys have inspired me to eat more vegan and by that bringing a healthier lifestyle to our daughter and future kids :)
amanda says
This was delicious. Wasn’t sure how all the flavours would go together, but they were lovely! I happened to have some leftover hummus to make the sauce and it was lovely! I only used 1/2 garlic clove and it was still quite potent. My non-hummus loving partner enjoyed it, too.
Maaike says
This is SO delicious. Just made it for lunch. I don’t know if it will last in the fridge for a day but we’ll see. Or do you have a tip for that?
Hi Maaike, we’d suggest storing the components separately.
Rhys Ludlow says
This was great. I did not have dill. It was still great. I did it with 1 sweet potato and 1 yam. Really original!
Cynthia Garofalo says
Made this today after harvesting and cleaning up my garden. What a great way to end a beautiful fall day. It was fast and so delicious. Bringing the leftovers for lunch tomorrow. Two thumbs up !
Em says
I could eat this for the rest of my life and be happy. So tangy, sweet, comforting, and fresh!
Thank you !
Anna says
I made this last night, and it was very good, but I wish I had done something to the sweet potato itself. Maybe rubbed the skin with oil and salt, emptied out the contents and mixed it with the sauce fully, mixed the sweet potato with white potato, or even just used the skins only and stuffed them with the sauce, chickpeas, and tomato salsa. The bland sweetness of the potato was just too much for me, so I need to cut it with more savory-ness next time.
Monica says
WOWZA! Thank You! Made these a few nights ago and can’t wait to make them again! I added Tabbouleh as a garnish and yummmmmmmy!!!! We own a Dog Bakery and have a plethora of Sweet Potatoes; always looking for creative ways to eat them for the doggie and us! Thank You!!!
fran says
My sister and I remade this recipe but instead of having the potato’s baked we turned them into fries and it work just as well. Lovely recipe would defiantly make it again.
Nadia says
Thank you for this recipe. I made it recently and it was quite flavorful (and full of nutrients which is always a plus). I used tahini paste mixed with lemon, water, olive oil, and garlic for the sauce since this is the base of traditional hummus and what gives hummus its nutty-umami flavors.
I think tahini labeled as not flavorful is a mischaracterization.
Ethel Hruschak says
We just made this tonight and it was very good. Next time we would double the garlic sauce as it was so tasty!!
Elizabeth says
Terrific! Definitely a departure from any sweet potato dish that I have ever made. This will go in the regular dinner rotation.
Gidget says
Thank YOU Dana! Made this last night- LOVED it! All the flavors meshed so well- delish! Especially loved the hummus-dill-lemon dressing! My nephew, a traditional meat-eater, dropped by so I served him half a potato- his opinion? “Really different, tasty.” He, like us, cleaned the plate! Thanks again for spending your time creating this dish!
Koy says
Hi!! :) Recipe looks great! Just wondering, is this cumin powder and coriander powder? Or is it cumin seeds and coriander plant?
Hi Koy! Cumin powder, and coriander powder!
Don says
Dang dude, this is a new favorite!
Had it two days in a row, so so good!
P.S. Love that it’s VEGAN!
Kristi McQueen says
So good! We didn’t care for the potato skins, so next time I might bake them after peeling. Delicious, thank you!
Sk says
I made this and loved it. I topped it with steamed kale. The garlic herb sauce was delicious : )
Brittany says
I never enjoyed sweet potatoes until I found this recipe! This is a parade of flavors with none overpowering the other. I will be taking this to Thanksgiving this year for my family to enjoy!
Gillian says
I fricking love this recipe! Go Dana!!!
Alayna says
This dish is so delicious! I used tahini and added more dill weed for more flavor. My garbanzo beans dried out though. Should I just leave them in the oven for a shorter time or is their another trick? Awesome recipe! Excited to make more of your dishes.
Hi! You could try more oil and less time for the future!
Vicki V says
This was delish! Especially loved the tahini garlic sauce. The combo of flavors and textures was great. Found your blog when looking for a vegan cheesecake. We are having that tonight for my daughter’s bday but it looks good!
Carla says
This was sooo good. Made it yesterday for me and my boyfriend and we both were amazed by the explosion of flavor in our mouths. The combination of sweet, salty, tangy, fresh and the amazing sauce (which I made with tahin) was amazing!!! Thank you!
Sandra says
I was dubious about the flavor combination, but we loved, loved this. The only change I made was to reduce the garlic in the sauce and add just a tsp of maple syrup after using tahini. It was such a good flavor combo and we will make it again soon.
Lois says
I just made this. I’m currently sat in garden eating it – so yummy and easy! Thank you xx
Jordan Mahaney says
This recipe is AMAZING!!! my absolute favorite thing I have cooked in a really long time :)
Zoya says
Hi Dana, I stumbled across your site while looking for vegan dinner inspirations. This recipe was the first one I made. My hubby is not vegan but appreciates my cooking. I find myself coming back to your site regularly for meal options.
Deborah Walike says
This is now one of my “go-to” dishes, because it’s that delicious, it’s that simple and it looks absolutely beautiful plated. (The combination of cinnamon & cardamom is genius)! I am vegan and had honestly not thought about sweet potatoes, because my only previous experience with them was in those icky-sweet Thanksgiving side dishes, which I never liked. Now I’m hooked. I do have a couple of suggestions, if I might: The first time I made this, I followed the recipe to the T and it was wonderful, but quite heavy. And, I would suggest that you food process the garlic, since when it’s chopped in the sauce, I found it quite overpowering. Making it in warmer weather, I opted to make a vegan sort of Tzatziki sauce, starting with the tahini base, adding cucumbers, soy yogurt and essentially following the original sauce recipe with extra dill & less garlic & tons of lemon all around. I also replaced the fresh parsley with crunchy greens, Romaine, Iceberg, etc. With those two changes, it’s a much brighter, lighter feeling dish. VERY yummy and thank you so much for sharing.
Pam says
Wow! This is really good. I love the combination of all the ingredients. I used black beans instead of chickpeas, just because I didn’t have any chickpeas left after making the hummus (I made a roasted red pepper hummus). I will definitely make this again. Thanks for posting.
Katie says
Yum!!!! Thanks for sharing this quick and very tasty recipe!! The only thing I would change next time would be not to roast the chickpeas for as long as the potatoes.. on one hand I like that they’re crunchy, but on the other they are a little overdone to my taste I guess, so I think I will fry them in some olive oil and their spices next time. Will defy be making this one again, and the garlic sauce is a great use for houmous; I never use all of mine up!!
Katherine says
i made this for dinner and they’re amazing. It was much easier than I thought it would be. I cooked my potatoes in a Perfect Potato and it worked just fine. I didn’t have hummus so I made the sauce with tahini and it was excellent! The lemon and dill are an excellent pairing. I had to add a little more than what the recipe called for. But it was soooooo good on the hot potatoes. The trick to the sauce is to use warm water to thin it. I will make this again and again.
Katherine says
i forgot to rate it. So. There.
My non-vegan girlfriend who usually won’t eat vegan food on principle (“I’m not eating that sh*t”) dug in with gusto.
Julie says
This was delicious. I put my chickpeas in halfway through the sweet potatoes cooking and they were nice and toasted. As a topping I used Greek yogurt with tahini, lemon garlic and salt. This dish was wonderful.
Karen says
I agree with another coook here, watch your chickpeas. Ours were overcooked. The sauce is good, but I was without lemons!! :( So sad! I made it without anyway and it was fine, although I definitely need to wait til I have lemons before trying this recipe again.

Joburglaura says
Don’t throw out the liquid from the chickpeas! Save it! And Google “aquafaba” – surprisingly it beats up and can be used as a substitute for egg whites. It makes vegan meringues, and so much more.
Looking forward to trying this recipe! Thanks
Karen says
Thank you for this wonderful recipe. My family and I absolutely loved it. I’m always on the hunt for delicious, interesting, nutritious, vegan meal ideas and this is perfect. A flavor party.. ?
stephannie says
What could I choice instead of chickpeas? I really don’t like them but recipe looks great.
Hi Stephannie! Possibly another bean – black beans perhaps?
Carrie says
I made this and thought it was pretty good. If I had thought about it in time I might have roasted the garlic instead of using it raw, but it’s still good anyway if you don’t mind that garlicky zing. I also ran out of lemons after making my hummus, so I used a lime for the sauce, which turned out fine.
Jason says
Seriously good dish. I actually mixed the chili garlic sauce with the tomato and parsley salad (on purpose, after it sat as directed) and wow, it was a killer change. You can sub the root vegetable and use Boniato or Asian Sweet potatoes for a twist, too.
Ashley says
I made these last night and they were NOT disappointing! The sweetness of the potato, mixed with the savory flavors from the hummus and marinated tomatoes was the perfect blend. Also the slight crunch of the chickpeas was perfect topping for a baked potato. My husband really enjoyed this meal as well, even had seconds! I will add this to my recipe box for future meals. Thank you again for another fantastic recipe! ~Ashley K.
Anitraa says
I loved this! The sweet potatoes tasted delicious with the sauce. I shared this on my blog. :)
Jessica says
Great recipe! Made this tonight and it was as good as I had hoped. I didn’t change anything in the recipe and was pretty pleased! :)
Jenn Wassenberg says
Hi there! I just made this recipe and absolutely loved it! Your directions and ingredients are fantastic – thanks for doing what you do, I really appreciate it!
Grandesa says
I made this and it was awesome. I am a serious meat eater and decided to cut back. I googled vegan dinner because I have never really cooked strictly vegan, and this recipe came up. I had large sweet potatoes and sliced them into 1-1 1/2 inch lengthwise. I also doubled the garlic because I love it. I added a pinch of salt to the sauce and seeet potatoes but I don’t think it is a must. Great recipe in about 40 minutes total time. I will definitely make it again and explore further on this site. Thanks!
Tori says
This is so good! I ended up roasting the tomatoes with the chickpeas because I don’t like raw tomatoes. I also added cauliflower to the chickpeas and tomatoes and it was so good! I made with some parsley brown rice as well. It was a hit with the family! Thanks for the idea!
Yesika says
I made these today and they were simply amazing!! this will definitely be a go-to meal from now onw!
thank you so much!
Allison @ The Book Wheel says
I made this tonight and it was delicious! I forgot hummus and substituted it with garlic and herb cream cheese and skipped some of the spices but it was still a win. Thanks for sharing!
Sarah Spottiswood says
Awesome recipe! The sauce is so so good, very transferable to other recipes! Thanks Dana!
Danielle M Hale says
I just made this and it was fantastic! I only had butter beans and roasted red pepper hummus on hand but it worked out wonderfully with those two substitutes. Thanks for such a fun healthy recipe!
Carol says
I love sweet potatoes but never knew what else I could do with them but add a little butter! This was delicious and satisfying! Such a unique pairing: hummus and sweet potatoes! The whole family loved! I’ll definitely make it again! Thanks!
Chip says
Another win from MB! I only salted the chickpeas and found it to be very satisfying. A very light meal that cooks up in no time. I am thinking maybe cilantro instead of parsley for the topping next time.
Anne says
Wow this stuff is awesome. I didn’t have hummus, but was only making the recipe for one person, so I roasted one half of the can and used the other half to make the sauce. Just added a little olive oil, salt and some of the juice from the can to the half a can of chickpeas and it came out amazing. I don’t think this is just a recipe for fall. It goes great with the first signs of spring too!
Sara says
I made this last night for today’s lunch and wowzer…delicious.
Sue says
Used coriander and mint just due to personal preference in the garlic/tahini sauce and sooo good! !
Tonya says
Super easy to make and it was delish! My husband (who isn’t a fan of sweet potatoes) loved it. Lots of flavor:).
Stacy says
New flavors for me but I loved it! Looking forward to making more of your recipes. Thank you!
Maggie says
HI, I love sweet potatoes but not chickpeas as much… can you subsititue chickpeas for anything else to make it a filling lunch/dinner?
If you are not a fan of chickpeas, feel free to leave them out and add in any other favorite toppings!
Terese says
I made this last night and it was amazing! I didn’t have hummus so I made a Tzatziki sauce instead, and used cilantro in place of the parsley (again, it’s all I had on hand). SO tasty and very easy! Love it and will definitely make again!
Lena says
This was one of the most delicious recipes I ever made, even though I didn’t have chickpeas, haha!
I substituted them with broccoli because that was what I had on hand and it was so, so good. Thanks so much for the recipe!
angela says
Is this meant to be a side dish or what? Surely it’s not a complete meal.
Lena says
I just made this and it’s totally filling on its own! :)
Hi Angela! You can serve it with a side or however you please!
Gene R Crombine says
We eat it as a main, usually sided by haricots or a quinoa/ brown rice blend. Halloumi or feta is fantastic with it as well, but, of course, then it’s no longer vegan.
So great! Thanks for sharing, Gene!
Theresa Fitzpatrick says
Hi looks breathtaking , but I’m confused with the garlic herb sauce ? .
I make my humm is with Tahini so where do I go from there ? . Thank you .
Theresa
Hi Theresa, you can use hummus or tahini. We’d recommend hummus!
Hollis says
This recipe kicks butt! Totally adding it to the dinner rotation. I wouldn’t call it a quick prep as mixing/tweaking the sauce plus individually preparing the sweet potatoes, chickpeas, and salad all take time, but the end result is excellent. I would however call this a great choice for when you’re cooking with help, all of the separate tasks is plus.
I made some garlic bread to go with it as well. You can’t have too much garlic, right??
Bucks300 says
I just made this recipe today. I didn’t have chickpeas but I had walnuts and I just substituted the chickpeas for the caramelized walnuts. IT WAS AMAZING! one of the best recipes ever! The Hummus I also made from scratch but I just had white beans, but it was sooooo delicious! we will have this recipe at least once a week. Its yummy, health and very simple. I loved the combination! Basically everything I like in one recipe! Also, I am pregnant and that was one of the few recipes that I ate and didn’t feel nauseous, or had heartburns or gas or anything else! <3
Glenn says
Hello!
In the video you use red onions but in the written recipe you don’t. What would you recommend?
Hugs!
Hi! I’d opt for red onion as it adds an extra flavor and color to the recipe! Good eye!
Christina says
What a fascinating combination of flavors! I think the chickpeas could use a bit more olive oil, maybe a full TBSP, but I would change anything else. Delicious!
Hannah says
Instead of hummus as the sauce base I have used plain greek yogurt and I am OBSESSED!! This recipe is all of my favorite things combined into one. Amazing!
Ashley says
I absolutely love this recipe so much! I have made it several times and keep coming back. For the sauce I actually do a mixture of both the hummus and tahini. I find it gives great flavor and body to the sauce and I just love it!
Lori says
Just made this for lunch and it was DELICIOUS! Great recipe! So satisfying and so yummy. It was great to find this recipe to help wrap my head around doing something with familiar ingredients in a new and fab way. Thx!!
Alli Brown says
I absolutely LOVED this. As to some of the comments about the chickpeas being too done… I think it’s better to leave them in longer so they develop some crunch. It’s an amazing textural contrast to the sweet potato itself. And the brightness of that tomato salad topper?? AMAZING! I shared this on facebook and raved about it. I hope all my friends make it, too, because this was fabulous!
Genevieve says
WOW! this is truly delicious!! Thank you!
Alyssa t says
My husband is doing a vegan like fast and it’s been so amazing finding your blog and all you’re delicious recipes ! This was delish!
Maya says
This recipe was crazy good. All the flavors and textures blend so well together! Even my boyfriend loved it!
Gustavo Woltmann says
This one is my absolute favourite which I keep coming back to. So so simple, yet delicious. Great dinner option.
Susan says
Just made this for the first time and it is so, so good! And super easy, even with making my own hummus. I found I needed to double the amount of that wonderful sauce (except the garlic) and also double the tomato/parsley mix. It’s great with or without the chili-garlic sauce, or with Sriracha. This one goes into permanent rotation at our our house.
Lynne says
I just recently started eating vegan, and searching for recipes. This was totally amazing!
I can’t wait to make it again…
Heather says
So yummy. Made this for my family tonight. The kids all liked it including the baby who just had some of the baked sweet potato. Thanks for a great recipe! :)
Andrea says
I can’t believe how easy this recipe is! I just finished eating my plate and I’m fighting the urge to go serve myself again, it’s so good!
It’s so cool to finally find something good and diferent that does not require to spend your whole day in the kitchen!
I loved it and I’ll definitely be doing it again!! Thank you!
Jen says
I made this for dinner last night and my husband and I both scraped our plates clean! I love to cook and am working on eating way more plant-based this year, which ultimately impacts my husband too since I do a lot of the cooking. I love to cook, and this recipe delivered exactly what you promised! Thank you for providing me with lots of inspiration for plant-based recipes that even my husband will love :)
Carrie says
This is my favorite fall recipe. I have made it several times just for myself. I have even made it for my boyfriend, who usually prefers meat dishes. He loves it too, which is good but means no leftovers for me! I have also made it with butternut squash and with conventional sweet potatoes, but I think it’s better with organic sweet potatoes. And I always double the chickpeas.
Joanne Valentino says
This is amazing! I made it for my fiancé and I and he is normally a bit picky when it comes to new recipes….. he loved it! There are so many amazing flavors including sweet and savory and it is very filling. I can’t wait to make it again!
Paul says
I was not expecting to like sweet potatoes with anything other than butter, or some type of sweet sauce, but this turned out really well!
Sabrina! says
I used tahini instead of hummus, so I jazzed it up with cumin, cayenne, dried parsley, and dried oregano along with lemon and garlic. I’m not a fan of dill so I excluded it completely. I also added scallions to the tomato & parsley mixture. My fiance who general finds my vegetarian cooking “too healthy” and “not filling enough” cleaned his plate.
Sarah says
I just made this, and oh my goodness, the sauce! I could eat that every day.
Kelly says
I made this last night and I found it okay. I have some simple taste buds, so this recipe had too many flavors for me. I did everything they said, even added the toppings (except the chili garlic sauce), but in hindsight I should have just let it be. One mistake I definitely made was adding too much lemon juice when making the sauce. Make sure you don’t do that! I also used store-bought hummus which probably had a lot of extra unexpected flavors in there too. Another note, eat it in a bowl, it’s just easier to eat that way. All in all, it wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t amazing.
Rachel says
I made this for the family this week and it was great. The kids didn’t complain, which is saying something. The flavors go well together and it is not a difficult meal to prepare. If you like spice, adding a little chili garlic sauce really is delicious.
Claire says
I made this recipe tonight – it was delicious!!! My 9 year old son couldn’t get enough, big hit with the whole family. I grilled chicken thighs, with salt, pepper and paprika to go with it, easy, quick, healthy dinner.
The bonus was having made the sweet potato and broccoli salad at the weekend and then having the left over dressing for this for tonight supper.
Thanks so much for posting!
Haricha says
Love it :D I made it really simple (uni student haha) but it was still really good. ^^
Denise Piastrelli says
Have made this dish three times now and it is incredible! Love the complexities of flavors. I added extra seasonings to the chickpeas. Wonderful combination of sweet, savory and spicy. Thanks Dana!
sharon says
We have made this the last few years for Thanksgiving. After the first year, when we had trouble baking the potatoes until they were soft, we boil and mash them to make a nice (easy to serve and share) casserole. It is fantastic.
Linda says
Wow this was absolutely fantastic. It came out so pretty just like the photos. The flavors are amazing and it’s super filling. I substituted tarragon for dill and omitted the parsley otherwise made it as described. Glad I doubled the recipe for the three of us as it disappeared. Will definitely make again !! Thank you so much for the terrific recipe!!!!:)
Rosemary says
I am a nanny for a 1 year old and a 2 year old and today I decided to try this for lunch. The one year old can’t get enough!! The two year old was dubious at first but she loves it too. Unfortuneately, we didn’t have any hummus so I couldn’t make the sauce, so I substituted with a Greek yogurt-dill sauce. It’s not vegan, but it is absolutely delicious and still pretty healthy. We also didn’t have any chili sauce, but since their babies, I think it’s better that I made the tomato topping without it.
Normally, I don’t eat a lot of chickpeas or sweet potatoes but this is one of the best meals I’ve tried out in a while so I will definitely be eating more of them now!! :)
Grace says
Just made this and it was divine! I used think instead of hummus and added some caramelized onions and spinach on top. Probably my favourite lunch of the week!
Sally says
We just ate these up and i agree, i may never make anything else for lunch! They were FANTASTIC! Thank you!
Fabmumof2 says
Made this last night! It was terrific. Super easy, 30 minutes! My two young teens enjoyed it too. I didn’t have any dill, but I don’t feel that was lacking as this dish is very flavourful. I used garlic hummus, so opted not to add the additional garlic. And the BONUS was that my dish looked just like the picture (how rarely that happens!!)!
Sue says
YUM!! I made this for the first time the other night and it was a hit. I substituted cilantro for the dill, because my husband is not a dill guy, and it was delish. Will definitely make it a regular. Thank you!
Christine says
Possibly the most fall food to make and who doesn’t love fall?! This recipe was an absolute hit!!! All of the ingredients just pair so well together! I think the dill/lemon/hummus sauce my most favorite part of this recipe. Can’t wait to make this again :)
Amelia says
Dana, thank you so much for this recipe. It was so delicious and so easy. Your recipes recently got me out of a cooking rut and for that I’m so grateful.
Laura says
We make this once a week, every Tuesday night! And when my husband is running a long trail run he craves this with more carbs the night before. Thanks!
Dee says
I normally love absolutely every recipe from this site and I was sure this would be the same (there are some other sweet potato dishes on here that are divine!). Sad to say that this just didn’t come together quite right for me. One and a half tablespoons of minced garlic was far too much for that sauce. I ended up having to significantly thin it out with almond milk and even then it was a runny, garlicky mess! I found tahini too bitter for the sauce as well and would recommend sticking to hummus. Also be careful to check the chickpeas for ‘doneness’ well before the sweet potatoes. I soak and boil my own chickpeas and they’re much smaller than conventional canned ones which means they roasted really quickly and ended up being quite dry and crunchy. This is mostly a tale of ‘should have known better’ on my part but I hope my experience helps others to avoid similar issues!
Laura says
I hope that you try again! It’s our favorite!
Fabmumof2 says
I took my chickpeas out a little early and did not add the extra garlic as my hummus was garlicky.
Hollis says
I ran into the same problem with tahini. I had no hummus but tons of tahini and so mixed in a generous amount. Holy jeezus so bitter! I tried to thin it with water and hide the bitterness with more garlic and dill to no effect. I then thought adding the main component of hummus might save it, so I added about half a can of blended chickpeas. That helped dramatically.
Super dig the sauce now, but I don’t think it works at all with just tahini as a base.

this was so good! i didnt have coriander so i substituted za’atar (my favorite spice of all time) and i used cilantro instead of parsley for the topping and the herb sauce. i threw in some pomegranate seeds too. perfect way to welcome in fall :)
Barbara says
Oh my gosh – just made this, it is delicious! As promised, it didn’t take long to make. I didn’t have parsley and topped with arugula and chopped tomatoes & red onion. Wonderful, love the garlic herb sauce, it makes the dish!
Danielle C. says
Delicious! Will definitely make again, but I think next time I’ll double the chickpeas :).
David says
Just made this! Best random vegan recipe I’ve found online ever!!!
Thanks David! Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing!
bluekimmee says
This has become a staple in our household. I have made this for the family and it is an easy meal to bring to a friends house. I love the simple hummus sauce and the combination of sweet potato, tart lemon and spices. Excellent dish!!!
Anne-Julie Caron says
This is amazing. I’m eating it right now. Easy to make and soooooo flavourful. The dill is a great touch! Wow! That is so far my favourite of yours!
Mariam says
I made it and my whole family loved it! I modified it a bit by omitting the garbanzos because we were already eating beans that day so I din’t want to be too much, but it was still delicious!
Dustin Collett says
Very good. Had an Indian feel to it which I enjoy quite a bit.
Jill says
Great recipe! I’m trying to make more plant based meals. Your site is amazing!!!
Claire says
This was delicious. And far exceeded my taste expectations. I did use coriander instead of dill and parsley as that’s the only fresh herb I had in. But I loved the combination of soft sweet potato, with crunchy spiced chickpeas and the houmous dressing with fresh tomatoes. I will be making this again for sure. Many many thanks for sharing.
Susan Reid says
Quick and easy dinner with ingredients that my whole family loves. Perfect!
Alexina Aron says
Thanks for helping me discovering that drenching sweet potatoes in tahini is the most marvelous thing ever. Yours truly.
Susan says
I just made this. I absolutely loved it. I used rather large sweet potatoes – so I ended up cooking everything for an additional 10 minutes. Came out perfect. (I did not spread out the garbanzo beans I used – just a pile of them – and they were perfect)
I used dried parsley (no fresh on hand).
I used a variety pack of multi-colored tiny heirloom tomatoes – OMG… YUMMY!
I ate 2 servings – so stuffed… but dont feel guilty. Its all good for you. I couldn’t help it!
Thank you for the recipe – this is a keeper.
Andrea says
Wow! Thanks for this. Made it tonight and we loved it xx
Romeo G says
This was delicious…. the variety of textures made it a “foodie” experience. I added GOAT CHEESE on the top of tomato topping and used cilantro in place of parsley. Roasting the garbanzo beans to a ‘crunchy’ state added more texture.
Miranda says
Just bought your book. It’s moved up to my number one favorite, instantly. An Absolutely stunningly beautiful book, and the recipes we’ve made so far have been amazing. We have vegans and gluten-frees in our family, so your recipes are a life-saver. Truly, everything I’ve made so far from your recipes (I’ve been getting them online till now) tastes like something you’d get in a really good restaurant, and would make anyone happy, vegan/gluten free or not. Thank you! <3
Lilly says
Just made this. So delicious! I added poblano peppers in with the sweet potatoes and chickpeas, and used cilantro instead of parsley. Great recipe.
Melinda says
Made this tonight, and it was GREAT!! Pretty much my entire menu is from you! You’ve truly made our transition to vegan so much easier! Thank you!! ❤️❤️❤️
Delfina says
Crazy good recipe! Really interesting flavors, very different than anything I’ve ever had. The first bite with the garlic sauce, I didn’t know if I liked it…2nd bite onwards, I loved it! Maybe it was so different that I didn’t quite know what to expect at first? Looking forward to leftovers tomorrow!
Delfina says
Just roasted some chickpeas with the same seasonings to eat in another dish. I think this my absolute favorite seasoning for chickpeas now!
Fabmumof2 says
I agree, the seasoned chickpeas were amazing! And so simple!!
Tiff says
If you’re thinking about trying this recipe, STOP THINKING + START COOKING! Oh my, I think this is my third time making this meal in the past 2 weeks, I’m in love. It’s so filling, which is great because my boyfriend and I seem to have endless appetites, so this meal is perfect, we’re both always stuffed! Making it again now ! Thanks so much!
Nurul says
How long does the garlic sauce last in the fridge?
Rachelle Reyes says
made this dish, turned out delicious! i would like to know how long the garlic sauce lasts in the fridge too!
3-4 days
Sam says
Just made this tonight and omg they are amazing!! Definitely will make again, my mom and I both loved these and it’s so quick and easy
Maryanne says
This is a lovely, quick and easy recipe (as are all of your recipes we have tried) and we loved it. I did grill my chickpeas for less time rather than put in with sweet potato and I lightly grilled my tomato as this brings out the sweetness of them and instead of parsley I added a small amount of blanched spinach. Keep the great ideas coming we are really enjoying using your great ideas. Thanks
Jordan says
My omni guy made this for dinner the other night and it was amazing. He’s not a big cook, we usually cook together and he does the prep while I do more of the actual cooking, but he managed this recipe with ease. So simple, yet so tasty and nourishing. Great as leftovers too, though next time we’ll double the sauce to last for all the potatoes (I added a little avocado when the sauce ran out). It was a great meal for us to have together, we strive to find meals that are great standalone vegan options that he can add his own meat or cheese to later, he had a pork chop with this and thought it all went really well together. He’s always claimed he doesn’t even like sweet potatoes!
Nicolo M says
Dear God this recipe is AMAZING!!
My girlfriend made this for me for dinner a few nights ago and I was in Heaven for sure!!
I’m already a sweet potato lover, but this took the sweet potato game to a whole new level ???
Jacqueline says
This is amazing! I cooked the sweet potatoes separate from the chick peas, which I baked in a dish. Once cooked, I layered the sweet potatoes, chick peas, sauce, then tomatoes in a dish to serve. My kids gobbled it up!
Vivian says
Love this recipe! It’s already a family favorite. I skip the olive oil completely though, and line the baking sheet with parchment paper instead. I also don’t use oil on the garbanzo beans. Still delicious, but less fat! Thank you for a great recipe. The flavors blend so wonderfully.
Megan says
This is such a delicious and satisfying recipe! I’m a teacher in South Korea, so finding certain ingredients – and not even exotic ingredients by any stretch of the imagination – can be difficult. Luckily, I’m able to find everything on this recipe list at my local grocery store. This has quickly become my favourite meal – I have it every single weekend! Thanks Dana for all your great work :-) :-)
courtney says
This was AMAZING! I have never cooked a really involved dinner before as a college student, so this was a little advanced for me. I made this for my finace’s birthday (who has done the cooking) and all he kept saying as he ate was, “Wow,! Wow!” The different flavors complimented each other so well, especially the lemon and the dill. I will definitely make this again
Ally says
J made this for supper last night a d it is so delicious. We loved the crunchy chi k peas with the sweet creaming texture if the sweet potatoes. I made a tahini dressing with lots of fresh garlic, dull and lemon. Filled with parsley, tomato and cukes. This will be a false e for a long time to come. Thank you. I love being vegan!!
Ally says
Yikes I shoulda checked that comment. When I tried to post last night it timed out on me so I tried again today and my comment is barely comprehensible I meant fave not false and topped not filled. Thanx again!!
Ally says
I made this for supper tonight and it was just delicious!! I bought a bunch of sweet potatoes at market today and was wondering what the heck to make with them so I googled “vegan recipes with sweet potatoes”. And there was your recipe! I stuck to it pretty faithfully except added some turmeric, just because I try to get a lot of turmeric in every day. I used strictly tahini as I’d made a batch of hummus today and already had quite a lot of it. Added some diced cukes with my fresh parsley and tomato and voila! My husband loved it too. So much flavor and texture and goodness. This will be a fave for a long time!! Thanx!
Taya says
One of my fav dishes! Just love it. Only change I make is I warm up the chickpeas and spices with olive oil in a pan for a few min. Just enough to warm them thru. I wasn’t a fan of them crunchy. Other than that, just perfect!!
Dayna says
These sweet potatoes are an instant family favorite! I definitely added salt and extra garlic and dill to the tahini (and a little bit of olive oil) because I didn’t have hummus- so delicious! I cooked my sweet potatoes and chickpeas on the same bake sheet with foil and they both turned out perfectly.
Thank you so much!
Bonnie says
This was a combo taste sensation to die for! Fresh but complex. Making all the parts was a little time-consuming, but completely worth it (and there definitely are times when I already have sweet potatoes baked and hummus made). Instructions a little vague but I tossed chickpeas in spices without oil and roasted only 20 minutes, halved sweet potatoes took 30 min. Really really great recipe, thank you.
Ash says
Thank you for more specifics on the timing!
Marianne says
My husband and I LOVED it, thank you!!
Sheena says
This looks sooooo delicious! I’m always on the lookout for vegan dinners that are savory and filling. Thank you for sharing this awesomeness :)
Paula says
Delicious! Made it for the first time and it is very easy to make and it tastes divine!
Jessica says
How long do you roast the chickpeas for
Paula says
I roasted for about 20 min and it worked fine
Shelby says
I’ve made this at least once a week for the past year; it’s just THAT GOOD. My boyfriend told me this is his favorite way to eat sweet potatoes… Thanks for creating such a wonderful staple!
Wow! Thanks Shelby!
Kath says
oh just yum !!!! Its still coolish enough here that I can light my oven and was looking for a new way with my chickpeas. This will also be great as a cold dish !
Allison says
This was yummy and creative. I was doubtful at first but the savoriness is really tasty! Especially when you add the parsley and grape tomato. However, the chickpeas were very dry and chewy. I did enjoy the overall taste of the dish but next time I’ll bake the chickpeas for less time.
A says
This was AMAZING! Easy too. My non-vegetarian husband loved it as well!
Ingrid Galvis says
I thought I would leave a comment about this recipe. It is by far my favorite recipe that I have made on your website. I have it at least 1 or 2 times a month :D I tried making the tahini sauce with cashew butter instead, and it came out delicious! Definitely worth the try.
Jennifer says
I made this today and it was delicious! You were right, the mix of flavours was so good! I changed the tomatoes for uncooked red bell pepper because I don’t love raw tomatoes, but it was still so good! Thank you!
Nic says
My husband and I absolutely loved this dish. I will definitely be making it again.
Alina says
We loved this recipe, easy and fast weeknight dish!
I didn’t have parsley on hand, so i used basil instead. It looks very impressive assembled. My 3 year old enjoyed crunchy cheack peas and i will make them in the future for a healthy snack on the go… I served this with tabouleh salad on the side for over all mediterranean plate. Thanks so much for sharing! I know this one would be back on our table
Tracey says
OMG I LOVED THIS!
I caught his recipe in a buzzfeed article and decided to give this a try. I can’t believe how savory and delicious this is! My neighbor up the street came over and tried this. She states that she does not even like sweet potatoes, but took home your recipe. Very delicious and beautiful meal.
Side note: Did you use cherry or grape tomatoes in this recipe? I see the listing called for cherry tomatoes, but you have grape tomatoes in your photos. I also cooked the chickpeas in a separate pan, and put them in the last fifteen minutes with the sweet potatoes. They would have completely dried out that long in the oven.
I can’t remember now, but maybe grape tomatoes? Glad you liked it, Tracey!
Damita says
It really needed salt. Very unhappy with the way recipe turned out. The chickpeas should never be cooked with the sweet potatoes. It dries them out and they become hard and nasty. The chickpeas especially needed salt.
Interested says
What is the chili garlic sauce exactly?
Tracey says
Its ciracha sauce!
diana says
Wow wow wow this potatoes are sooo delicious. My favorite so far! Thank you
Aastha says
This recipe is great! Thank you Dana. My family loves the dish. It is easy to make and the flavor is mwah.
Lovely! Thanks for sharing, Aastha.
James says
How much garlic sauce do I add to the tomato parsly topping?!?!
None! I serve it on the side.
Theresa says
Absolutely love this recipe! I’ve been trying to slowing move into the vegan/vegetarian lifestyle, so I made this for my family and they loved it. It’s simple for a beginner, like me! And I’m so excited that the end result was even better than I expected. So pleased to have found this recipe :)
Alissa says
I made this recipe for Shabbat dinner with a group of picky eaters, and it was a HUGE hit! I made a double batch of sauce but didn’t have any left over because my guests sopped every last bit of it up. Easy and super delicious. I’m looking forward to the leftovers!
So wonderful! Thanks for sharing, Alissa!
Eline Somberg says
Great recipe, the flavours together arr so delicious ?
Jenny says
Yum!
I have been meal-prepping lately, and I try to make something vegetarian based for my weekly meals, this is so perfect, and quick! I will be making it again.
I cut the sweet potatoes into smaller pieces before rotating, and I think this has made it easier to portion out for the week, and help the potatoes absorb the yummy sauce.
I think I may also experiment with adding corn.
Jenny says
*roasting
Asya Bridger says
Oh my word, thank you! I just started a lifestyle-change by eating more vegan recipes. I feel like I am learning how to cook all over again, because meat is no longer an option. I am so glad I ran upon this recipe because it wasn’t just delicious, but super easy to make. In addition, it helped me get an idea of how a vegan is supposed to cook. I cannot wait to try some the plethora of recipes, and yes, I did subscribe! Thanks again!
Joanna says
Advice!! It calls for 3 cloves of garlic and if you are a garlic lover like myself you will say, “Let me pick the three LARGEST cloves of garlic and then sneak in two more smaller ones”. Yeah… DON’T DO THAT! It was very potent in garlic (but regardless still wonderful!).
It was an explosion of so many different flavors. You will be eating and at one moment you say, “Ah, parsley, no wait, garlic, no wait, sweet potato…” and all are fresh great flavors. Chickpeas aren’t a favorite of mine but they were easy to eat in this dish and added great texture.
Terri says
This was absolutely delicious!! So glad to have found your website :) YUM!!!
Maria says
I made this today for lunch and loved it!!! Thank you, Thank you.
Maureen says
There is no time for the chick peas themselves, but I an thinking that 30 min is your advice.is that correct?
Hi Maureen, the chickpeas and sweet potatoes bake on the same baking sheet for ~25 minutes.
Lori says
I made this recipe and fed it to my boyfriend and his brother and the both of them couldn’t stop talking about how fantastic it was and I would have to agree! :) Absolutely excellent recipe! Thank you for sharing! I also recently was craving it and didn’t have the cherry tomatoes or parsley or chickpeas so instead I made some fresh guac with chunks of regular tomato and white onion cut up mixed in with lime juice and some Mexican seasoning and then drizzled the herb sauce over it and garnished with chives and it was still so satisfying and delicious! That Garlic herb sauce could be eaten on its own – it’s so good! You should bottle it and sell it ;)
Naomi says
This recipe was so simple easy and yummy! I baked the chickpeas a little bit longer by accident but the bite was a good and gave a different texture to the dish. I was glad to see my son eat them because he doesn’t like any beans. Tomatoes and parsley and lemon made the dish very fresh! I’m going to add a little silk tofu in the sauce next time to make it creamier (my husband suggested this to me). All in all this dish is a winner! I already sent a link to this recipe to members of my family. Thank you and can’t wait to try more dishes!
Raquel says
Will this keep if I try to prepare it as a part of a several dal meal prep?
Raquel says
Day*
It’s best served fresh, but it might keep if you store the components separately.
Lori says
I would say yes it would – just keep the toppings separate so that you can warm up the sweet potatoes/yams first and then garnish afterwards :)
Lauren says
I am not a confident cook esp. for company so I followed the recipe exactly. Everyone loved it! The only comment was that the chickpeas were not all crunchy…some soft some hard. I wondered what caused the difference… but did not detract from the taste and healthy dinner!
Danielle says
Such an amazing dish! You have gained a new follower and fan! I cooked it for my friends who love junk food and eat meat – all are extremely sceptic of healthy food/vegan food. You’ve opened up their minds and their food palette with this dish. 7/5 for this dish
Jordynn says
Hey! I found this recipe this afternoon and wanted to make it straight away! Roasting as I speak. I didn’t have humus or tahini, but I found white kidney beans in my pantry. Used it just like I would use chickpeas in a hummus and so far so good! The texture isn’t as smooth as it may be but it was a great substitute. Also looking more into your other recipes! Excited to try more! Thanks!
Cathrine says
So easy, true to recipe and simply delicious!!
Aly says
Ooh! This is exactly what I am looking for! My 15 yold daughter has a vegan friend staying over tonight and I had no clue what to cook lol! This recipe sounds perfect and I am almost certain that the whole family will love it. Am going to try! Will post the results. Thank for sharing the recipe!
Rosie says
OH MY GOD, this recipe has actually changed my life. Seriously. It’s so good. Personally, I roast my chickpeas in a mix of ground cumin, ground coriander and cayenne pepper with lots of salt and pepper. And I use parsley instead of dill in the sauce, mostly so I don’t have to buy parsley and dill at the store. But aside from those inevitable tweaks that everyone makes to recipes… this is the bomb dot com. Thanks Dana for sharing this, it’s amazing!
Alex says
I really liked this! I’m not a fan of tomato, so I roasted some kale with olive oil and dill the last couple minutes. I also think I added too much lemon because it was a little too overpowering. Next time, I think I’ll blend the humus with more fresh dill and parsley with less lemon.
Overall, I think it’s very creative, cheap, and yummy! I’m definitely going to make this a regular meal prep.
Jimisha says
I just made this dish for lunch, and it was quick, easy, and filling. I added a little balsamic vinegar to the chickpeas to intensify the flavor a bit. I also didn’t feel like pulling out the processor to mince the garlic, so I used granulated. Perfectly savory!
Isobel says
This recipe is awesome! I made it for my whole family (with one absolutely gigantic sweet potato that weighed close to a kilo) and even my brother, who absolutely never eats vegetables unless they’re well hidden in something else, ate his whole sweet potato with the chickpeas and sauce! That’s a major win – he ate a whole plant based meal for the first time in his life!
Love this site, guys. Two dinners from here in the last two night :)
Mollie says
Wow!! This is amazing.
I don’t like sweet potatoes but this was amazing!! The crunch of the chick peas along with the soft sweet potato and then the pop of the fresh tomatoes is an unbelievably good combo. Not to mention to flavours! This dish is officially on the menu for Summer lunches outdoors. Even my sweet-potato-hating stepfather has agreed to give it a whirl.
Absolutely fab!
Kimberly says
These were seriously amazing! Thank you so much! I plated them on a bed of baby spinach and it was one of the best meals I’ve ever had! I’ll be checking out more of your recipes :)
Rachel says
We had these tonight and they were SO crazy good! They were really filling too! A lot of great bang for your healthy buck! We will definitely be having these in our normal rotation! The only change that I made was that I seasoned the cut side of the potatoes with the same seasonings as the chickpeas before I cooked them. It was delicious! :)
Stephanie says
OMG, this is so good, fresh, and bursting with colorful flavors. Thank you, thank you, thank you! So easy to prepare and pack for lunch the next day. I never liked baked potatoes until now.
Mollie says
Absolutely amazing!! This recipe even satisfies carnivores. It’s flavorful and filling. I never leave comments or rate recipes but I have made it so many times now I feel obligated to give it the five star review it deserves!
Kathy says
Trying this now. So far it smells yummy
Adriana says
Love love love this! A go to dinner of mine, and perfect for lunch to take to uni the next day. Super easy, super filling and super fresh, giving me a heap of energy to tackle my assignments. Thank you!
travelinma says
What a wonderful medley of flavors and textures. When I want something delicious, healthy and fool-proof you Dana are my go-to!
ARee says
OH MY!! I have just started my journey to being a Vegan, and this was the recipe I needed. I cant get over how amazing it is!! Im going to make this dish for all of my family, and Im not even a cook. It was so simple and easy, and tasted so delish! The sauce definitely made the dish super tasty. My hubby even loved it he wanted to take some for lunch. He is not Vegan at all. I think this is a winner for years to come :) Thank you so much! ARee
Bri says
I absolutely love this dish!!!! I didn’t have dill so I replaced it with thyme and I also didn’t have chickpeas so I replaced it with cranberry (romana) beans and the dish was fantastic! I am not vegan so I ate this with a bit of sausage. My first choice would have been chicken breast but I ran out *cries* lol. I made some for a friend and they LOVEDDDDD it. Especially the garlic sauce. Thank you so much for this recipe! This definitely my favorite way of cooking sweet potatoes by far!
Elena says
Yum!! So delicious and FILLING, like crazy! I found that it ended up tasting quite exotic (but that may be because I also included a dash of curry in the spices used to flavour the chickpeas, since I couldn’t get my hands on all of the spices listed where I live). I also swapped the parsley for some cilantro, because I thought its light lemony flavour would complement the rich and earthy tones of the sweet potato, chick peas and hummus… and also because I can never get enough cilantro!
All in all, amazing recipe – I saved it to my favourites, and will be making it again and again.
Angie says
Holy Delicious! You’ve become my favorite food blogger and these really just took it to a new level!
I was out of chickpeas to make hummus with, so I made mine with tahini. I added cumin to the tahini and some more lemon since the tahini was really bitter. I hate tomatoes so I served mine with red lady apples – one bite knocked me off my feet!
I sent a pic to my boyfriend who’s been obsessed with all recipes and cooking shows (of the nonveg varriety, bleh), he was immediately intrigued. Bet I know what he’s having for dinner tonight ;).
Thanks for all your great recipes!
April says
Super good, love the combination of flavors! And the presentation is pretty too … Made extra of the yummy sauce for dipping falafel. Meal was delish! Too bad we can’t post a pic with comment since I’m not doing the social-media thing right now. Loved it and we’ll make it again. Tonight I’m trying the baba ganoush! Thank you for sharing your recipes my fellow Portlander!
Cindy B says
This dish has become one of our go-to meals. I wanted to share a variation that’s been working out well for us. I make quinoa, and instead of roasting the whole sweet potato, I dice it in cubes and roast it. I stir all the components together, and toss it like a big salad, using the tahini sauce as the dressing. It’s a delicious take on the same ingredients. I hope you try it out! Cindy Boxer
nadia@maisontravers says
Wow! This looks great. Reminds me of a similar dish I ate in London at Ottolenghi’s
restaurant.
Laura says
Thank you so much for this recipe, it was DELISH! Looove sweet potatoes, and the sauce was perfect (YUM). Will be making again!
marianne says
made this tonight…and my family hated it. horrible combination of flavors. literally made myself and one of my daughters gag- it reminded me of a meal when your a guest in someone’s home you force yourself to eat to be polite. looks good but tastes TERRIBLE. very disappointed progressively got worse with each bite!! is no stars an option? don’t waste your ingredients on this…
Margarita C. says
I made this for dinner last night and brought the leftovers to work today for lunch. Very delicious, love the different flavors and the bonus was it took very little time to prepare and uses ingredients that I keep on hand. I get home from work late so cooking a dinner that normally takes an hour or more is usually the LAST thing I’m thinking about. And it’s healthy so no guilt about eating a late meal. Thanks for sharing!
Tina says
This is the second time making this for my family. It is fantastic! My husband begs me to make these on a weekly basis! The best part is there’s nothing bad for you in it. How often do you see that?! Thank you for posting this recipe!
Jenny says
So delicious! My husband, my friend’s 4yo, and I made this tonight, and it was really fun. There were plenty of things for the little one to stir/ measure/ place, and he couldn’t resist licking the sauce off his fingers. When we were done with everything he said “I really love cooking.” And to top it all, it was a great meal. What a wonderful combo of flavors and textures! Thank you!
Sarah Maria says
Amazing recipe! We loved it :)
Melissa says
I made these least minute for a potluck (potatoes cut in slices instead and used fresh dill, otherwise kept the recipe the same). I had rave reviews and enough recipe requests that the principal asked me to bring copies of the recipe on Monday!
Robby says
The potatoes were amazing made enough to last a week and they won’t go to waste
Cris says
I tried this today and wow it was a hit !! Delicious and super quick and simple , these are the recipes for me! Thank you!
Melanie says
These were so delicious! I thought it would be a bit tedious, but after it was over…well, let’s just say this will not be the last time I make this dish.
:)
Thyme @ Angel's Food Cake says
Amazing! is all I have to say. Sweet potatoes AND Mediterranean? Absolutely delicious! Thanks for a wonderful recipe :)
Kathy Schwager says
I made your mediterranean baked sweet potatoes for the 2nd time tonight. Truly delicious!
Emily says
Wow!!! This was a huge hit with everyone from my eight year old to my carnivore husband! Yum!
Michelle says
This recipe is just sooooooo yummy and beautiful! My husband thinks it’s the best food he’s had in a while! This is the 2nd recipe I made from your site, I made the green chilli mac & cheese yesterday and it was diviiiiine…!!!! Can’t wait to try out more!! I found you from Buzzfeed’s post on vegan recipes and im so grateful!!
Melissa says
This was seriously yummy and satisfying.
I made it for dinner tonight and I’m already looking forward to leftovers tomorrow.
Thank you!!!
Rebekah says
I have recently seen on YouTube a few people making this type of recipe and am so glad to finally get my hands on the recipe! My partner and I are both not vegans but are loving some of your recipes! I am most definitely going to be heading out to pick up the ingredients for tomorrow nights dinner.
Although my partner hates chickpeas. What could you recommend replacing them with?
Hi Rebekah, we think white beans might work? Let us know if you try it!
Alexa says
I was a little skeptical of this since it seems like there are a few odd flavor combinations but I was soooo wrong. This is amazing! I’m currently making a change to a vegetarian diet and this dish gives me so much hope that I can keep it up. This isn’t the first recipe I’ve used of yours and I’m so grateful that there are people like you out there.
Janay says
Hi,
Can I make this with regular potatoes? Or does it have to be sweet potatoes?
Of course! Regular potatoes would work well, too.
fanceeist says
I made this and.. IT WAS FANTASTIC! So yummy! What a great combo of flavor. Thanks a bunch for the recipe. I will be adding this to my favorites.
Cindy B says
I just have to tell you that my husband and I are OBSESSED with these sweet potatoes. We’ve had them twice in a week now. Thank you so much. In fact, as I was scrolling through the recipes to find this one, I saw just how many of your recipes have become regulars in our rotation. I am eternally grateful that there are talented and wonderful people like yourself that have chosen to share their talents with the rest of us. Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!!
Laura says
Small question, in the sauce recipe it says water or almond milk but in the directions it says to add water TO almond milk to thin. Can you please clarify? I’ve always wanted to try to make these and this is the least complex looking and I’m definitely inspired to try. Thanks,
fanceeist says
She is saying add water OR almond milk to the hummus sauce to make it pourable, or saucy-like. I used water and it was sooo goood!
Hi Laura, sorry for the confusion! It should say “water or almond milk”
Kim A. says
We weren’t expecting that much flavor! Will be making this on a monthly basis. Thanks!
Barbara says

Ruth Frazier-Allen says
Absolutely Delicious and so easy to make…So colorful and beautiful on the plate! Will definitely be sharing with friends and making it again and again!
Roni says
This combination is amazing!!! Thank you so much, I love what you share and do :-)
Ava Ryan says
So far I have tried 3 of your recipes and not one has disappointed our family. My 3 year old son was even willing to try the crunchy chickpeas! There is no picture because this is gone, all gone.
Michelle says
I LOVE sweetpotato & I LOVE a good cry…something so “releasing” about it! Thanks for the great recipe, will definitely be trying it out!
Hannah says
I have very recently gone vegan and really fancied a jacket potato – a quick google for recipes brought me here and I am so glad it did! Just made this for my dinner and it was delicious! Really hit the spot – thank you!
Brittney says
Saw this and knew I had to make it! I was a little nervous about the parsley because I’m not a big fan but all of the flavors came together! Easy to make and very yummy. Thank you!
Karen says
I made this. Don’t know if I overcooked the Chickpeas, but they did not come out well. The hummus sauce came out very good, though.
Gillian says
oh my god, amazingly delicious and so simple – thank you for this recipe!!!
Shayla says
This recipe was delicious! My family and my company devoured it! Even the ones who thought they didn’t like sweet potatoes! Thanks so much… I’m excited to try more of your recipes!!
Chloe says
I had a craving for sweet potato and I feel blessed that this recipe appeared on my search engine after searching the recipe for a dinner idea. Absolutely loving this dish! It leaves me feeling full, but energised. So simple and so healthy – it has become a part of my diet, due to the ease and simplicity of the recipe and the amazing flavours and textures. Can’t wait to try the other recipes on this site! Thank you Dana :)
KJ | Om Nom Herbivore says
I love having sweet potatoes for dinner!! Lately I’ve been doing more of a Mexican Style potato. This will be a nice change!! :)
Jan Ramsey Brick says
I’ve never eaten sweet potatoes savory like this. They’re always either plain or in a very sweet casserole for a holiday meal.
I bought some for our Christmas dinner but didn’t end up making our traditional casserole today. I think I will try this way instead in a couple days.
P.S. It looks much healthier than our sweet potato casserole (which is basically just a dessert that we typically eat with our meal!). Thanks for helping us change this up a bit!
Heidi says
I made this recipe for the first time tonight, and it was a hit! My husband (who is not vegan) couldn’t believe it was a vegan meal. He loved it! Thanks!
nadine says
Great recipe! My husband loved it and he’s not a big sweet potato fan. I’ll be making it again for sure. I added some finely chopped red onion to the tomato and parsley salad.
Lovely! Thanks for sharing, Nadine!
Cecilie - A Story of Freedom says
Dana… You make such good recipes! I made this many months ago, but I remember how the flavors and textures were just… so good! I especially love the flavored chickpeas. I have now decided to go and rate all the recipes I have tried from your site, because they are all so good.
Your blog has inspired me so much :)
Toni says
Can you recommend sides for this entree? I’m making it for a dinner party.
Hi Toni, we think it would pair well with a salad, such as this one: https://minimalistbaker.com/chickpea-shawarma-salad/
Madison says
These are great. Cheap and easy to make, and pleased everyone at my college Friendsgiving (not an easy task). I even made them again for my family Thanksgiving a few days later.
Wendy Hunt says
I really like this recipe, especially the garlic sauce, it was delicious!!!!!
My son is a picky eater and he actually liked it.
Angele says
I made this for diner tonight! I enjoyed it very much. I am looking forward to serving this dish to my mom. Thank you!
Kari says
So I just happen to find your website looking for a way to make a sweet potato ‘bake’ for a vegan guest! I think she is really going to like this, (considering she does not eat any cheese, milk, egg etc.) Oh, and by the way, this will be served for our Thanksgiving meal – including the turkey, stuffing etc. I’m always looking for new recipes! Thanks
Rosa says
This was delicious!
Lisa says
This was delicious!! I had all the ingredients in the house except for hummus, so I cheated and used bottled Whole Foods Lemon Tahini Salad Dressing in place of the garlic sauce. It was lick-the-plate yummy. I’ll make it with the homemade garlic sauce next time.
Marsha Gainey says
Absolutely loved the roasted spiced chickpeas! They are addictive, and I will be making them again as a snack. But I did not care for either sauce. The optional one was too spicy and the mandatory one was an unappetizing color and did not taste very good either. I would suggest putting its garlic cloves through a garlic press instead of mincing them to improve the texture.
That’s a great tip! Or, using pureed garlic.
Patte says
I saw this recipe on The Vegan Enthusiast Facebook Group page, and had to make it the same day. It was so delicious I had this for dinner two nights in a row! I changed it up a bit: I doubled the oil and spices and rubbed the paste into the cut side of the potatoes. The garlic sauce is also great over avocados- love this recipe.
Rich says
This is my second recipe from you and both have been a hit! I loved them and so did my fiance who is not vegan…. I am hitting the subscribe button!!! This is a great recipe I happened to google vegan sweet potato dinner on my drive home… an hour later I was enjoying it…
Thanks Rich! Hope you continuing loving what you find! xoxo
Justine says
WOW! Made these last night! SO YUMMY!
Claire says
Delicious recipe! Thank you :)
Coulinjo says
Thank you SO much for posting this recipe. I made it tonight and (sadly) it was go very good that I ate two portions! This is one of the tastiest, freshest, lovliest to eat dishes :) Awesome.
Laura says
This looks awesome! My partner and I have just switched to a vegan diet and looking to expand our meals…just wondering if you think sweet red pepper hummus would be ok? That’s all I’ve got as we live in a very rural area and are limited for ingredients! Thanks!
We think that would work!
Katy says
so happy to have found this recipe! It was super easy to make and the flavors were amazing!
Wonderful! So glad you liked it, Katy!
Rachel says
Delicious recipe! Love the garlic sauce and the spices on the chickpeas, will definitely make again!
Sarah says
I prepared this for my vegan meal prep blog and was blown away! This is an absolutely fantastic recipe that I will definitely be cooking again and again! Thanks for sharing!
Wonderful! Thanks for sharing, Sarah!
Jessi says
This was fabulous, and so easy to make! I’ll definitely have to make it a regular dinner. =D
yay!! Thanks for sharing, Jessi! xo
Karen says
I made this tonight and thought it was delicious! I gave the garbanzos an extra 5 mins to crisp them up but otherwise followed the directions. Great recipe. I sent it to my sister, also. Thanks!
Nikita says
Seriously the most delish vegan thing I (or my bf) has ever eaten! We both literally couldn’t stop talking about how yummy it was as we ate….and how simple and healthy! So glad I found your website! Keep it up!
Sarah says
This was absolutely delicious. I could have eaten all four servings myself. I made it more of a potato salad style, mixing all the ingredients together and brought it to a potluck. Thanks so much!
Tracy says
I am trying to incorporate more plant based recipes into my family’s diet. I recently discovered you site and it is amazing….easy and delicious recipes. I made these last night and was so glad my hubby wasn’t home because I now have leftovers for lunch today ? These were amazingly delicious. I am eating your overnight peanut butter oats as we speak…yum yum. Keep the incredible recipes coming. My 4 year old twins are also huge fans of your food!
Yay! Thanks for sharing Tracy! Glad you all enjoyed it!
Emmi says
Thank you for the recipe. Do you add the marinated tomato/parsley and the sauce at room temperature? Or do you think it is worth putting it in the oven for another 5 minutes to heat?
Yes, room temperature (or even refrigerated).
likeatcake says
Oh goodness! I tried this receipe yesterday and this is was I was looking for – simple, delicious and cheap! You are great!
Carol says
Have now made this several times, it always comes out perfect. High praise from my husband, which is rare!
So kind! Thanks for sharing, Carol!
Teresat says
Delicious !!!!! Yum yum I love it :)) thank you for sharing this great receipy :))
Katie says
Baking this up now to have for a post-long run lunch tomorrow (when I will be too tired/out of it to make from scratch. Love this recipe, and generally I am not a sweet potato fan!
Josefine says
Just made this and it was absolutely amazing! Thanks for a lovely recipe
Maire says
I made this tonight for dinner, it was delicious and super filling! Really simple to make☺
Yasmin says
It was sooooo delicious! Thank you! :)
Kristin says
Thanks for this recipe!!! Sooooo good!
Tonight, we added avocado to the tomato mixture and pumpkin seeds and power greens as toppings to get some more “filling” for our super large and always hungry men! Hahaha!!
Thank you for sharing!
Alysha says
I came across this website while trying to find vegetarian recipes and boy am I glad I did! I made this for dinner tonight and it was a definite hit, hubby loved it!! This will be going in my personal recipe book to make again. I ended up using homemade tahini for the garlic herb sauce and as suggested I had to add more seasonings to make up for the lack of taste compared to hummus. Thank you for sharing this recipe!!!
TMM says
Wow! This was delicious! So flavorful! Even my meat loving husband loved it!
Lisa says
This was absolutely delicious and so easy to do!
Sunnh says
Oh dear, I just made this for my sister and I, it was de-li-cious! Thank you so much for this recipe!
Erin says
My husband and I LOVED this recipe! So simple but SO packed with flavor and really filling on it’s own. The first time we made it, it took longer to cook the sweet potatoes than I expected (about 45 min. even with them in half), so our chickpeas were a little bit too roasted. Second time around I roasted the chickpeas separately for only about 15 minutes and they were perfect. Stored leftover chickpeas, tomato/parsley garnish, and hummus sauce and topped them on a bed of spinach for lunch today. Amazing. Thanks for this recipe!
Thanks for sharing, Erin! So glad you both enjoyed it.
Annaliese says
Wow! I made these for a quick meal last night and it serisouly hit-the-spot! Will for sure make again. I added a few things: kalamata olives, English cuke and some cilantro to the tomato/parsely relish. So good…can’t wait for lunch today!
Whoop! Thanks for sharing, Annaliese!
Cristina | Nature's Drive says
This looks AMAZING!! Totally on my to-do list this weekend!
Let me know how it goes! One of my faves for sure :D
Carol says
This was a wonderful interplay of flavors. The garlic sauce made with hummus is a total winner and could be used in so many ways.
ariamarazzie says
this is perhaps the best recipe I’ve tried on your websites so far. these are so delicious and seriously healthy, the garlic herb sauce goes so well with the sweet potatoes and the roasted chickpeas. definitely will be making again.
Marilyn says
OH MY GOODNESS! I came across this recipe a few months ago, and it has became a weekly feature in our family! Even our kids (who previously wouldn’t eat sweet potato), are digging into it :) Thanks so much for your awesome blog!
Lori says
I made these after a long day working overtime – quick, easy and more importantly DELICIOUS!!!! My husband loved it! So good, and easy…perfect!
jody says
Incredible! Just made it…worked perfectly. love love love!!
Thank you! Great pics, too!
emma says
Is this recipe gluten-free?? Looks delicious!!
Yes!
Leonie says
First visit. Great site Dana and an excellent recipe. Like how you’ve been kind enough to include a friendly print option. Will certainly check out your other recipes. Thank you
Ah, thanks Leonie! Glad you found us! xo
Jordan says
This recipe looks fantastic! I plan to make it this week and have everything on hand except the lemon juice. Is there anything I could use in place of it? Like pineapple juice or some kind of vinegar?
Perhaps vinegar. Otherwise lime juice?
Jordan says
What kind of vinegar do you think would be best?
Marsha says
I made these the other day and it is absolute heaven! My four year old daughter at the lot. It is my new favorite thing with sweet potatoes. Looove the hummus garlic sauce! Big hit!
Samantha says
I was really surprised that my teenagers loved this recipe. They especially liked the chickpeas which they ate as poppers. They’ve asked me to make it again!
Rhonda says
Hi Dana, Surfing Persian food today and not quite sure how I happened upon this recipe! But I had all the ingredients, so gave it a whack. Once I had it all plated I honestly wasn’t so sure how the flavors would blend. Perfect world’s of sweet and tart Yumm! The roasted chickpeas really round it out. This was absolutely delicious! And so simple! Looking forward to trying more :0)
Lawrence says
I am IN LOVE with this. I had no chickpeas so I replaced them with cannellini beans and it turned out great. I love your recipes! Thank you!
Nice swap! Thanks for sharing.
Sheila says
Made this recipe for dinner tonight. Loved it! Trying to incorporate more plant-based food in my diet. Will try more of these recipes
Toloue says
Hi! Are the chickpeas supposed to be hard when they come out of the oven?
Love, Toloue
You’re going for very well browned and firm.
Melissa says
This was UH-mazing. My husband and I barely spoke while we ate. The flavor combos were perfect:) Swapped the parsley for cilantro. Thank you for your excellent recipes. Your chocolate/mint coconut mousse is also such a huge hit. xoxoMelissa
Wonderful! Thanks for sharing, Melissa!
Jör says
LØVE IT ??? HÅPPŸ HÅLLOWEEN
irene says
Dana you killed me with this recipe!!! It’s just AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can’t wait to try it!!!!!!!!!!!! Just checkout your blog and totally happy to follow you since now!
Hope you do!
Pachi says
hi! I found your page when I was looking for some black beans burgers and I made them with some substitutions and they were amazing!! But I wanted to try this recipe so badly I went and bought all the ingredients today and let me tell you something.. these sweet potatoes are INCREDIBLE!!!! I loved them! Took me a long time to get them done (because I’m a slow cook) but it was totally worth it!!! THANK YOU!! for making my meals less boring! I’m planning on making more of your recipes, they’re so easy to follow!
Oh yay!! Thanks for sharing, Pachi! So glad you enjoyed these and the burgers so much! xo
Shelley says
I am in LOVE. This was the best meal I have ever made, and it fits all the requirements for cooking for me: fast, easy, DELICIOUS!!!
birgit says
yeah i love this recipe
bookmarked it immediately
as soon there are sweet potatoes available i will cook this
and next time i make hummus i make it with dill
i always planned to bake some chickpeas but never come to it
the idea to combine roasting the sweet potatoes on the same tray is so simple
i’m nearly ashamed that i never had the idea
lg birgit
Tracy says
I noticed in the toppings it has chili garlic sauce, is that recipe available or do you just purchase it?
I purchase it on Amazon or in the Asian section of the grocery store.
Rhianna says
I’m so excited to cook this! Do you think if I put the sauce in an air tight jar and put it in the refrigerator it would last long?
Yes! The sauce should last 3-4 days
Vicki says
I made these for my family last night, and what a hit! I slightly overcooked the chick peas, but they just tasted like toasted nuts. I will definitely be cooking this recipe again.
Great! Thanks for sharing, Vicki! xo
Laura says
I made these tonight with my boyfriend and they’re awesome! Definitely going to be making it again. Thanks for the recipe!
Wonderful! So glad you enjoyed it!
Colleen says
Another hit! These are great!
Anytime I’m looking for something to make for dinner I search google, can’t find anything and then decide to check this website.
Everything I’ve tried from you is so flavorful!!! This is the best recipe website.
Andreanne says
I made this for supper and the whole family loved it! A perfectly satisfying gluten-free vegan meal. Everyone should just make this right away :)
Thanks Andreanne!!
Jackie says
These are awesome! Such a nice low-cal, vegetarian option for dinner or lunch!
Jessie says
Made these the other night and LOVED them!! Really interesting mix of flavours. Will definitely be making again. My non-vegan bf loved them too :) Awesome recipe!
Michelle says
These look great and I can’t wait to try them. I just have one quick question. Do you have a suggestion as a substitute for the fresh parsley? I am just not a big fan of it (not cilantro for that matter).
Hm, maybe a mix of baby spinach and fresh dill?
Nicole says
These look ah-mazing! I’m starting a 22 day vegan diet and was wondering if anyone has any experience with making these ahead and how to reheat/store, etc? Thanks for all your yummy recipes!
We think you could make the sauce up to 3-4 days in advance, but the rest is best when fresh. Or store leftovers separately to keep a little longer.
Laura says
This recipe was YUMMMAZING!!! I added a bit of cayenne to the chickpeas to spice it up just a tad, also made the recipe with tahini dressing instead of hummus. It was so delish! I could eat this several meals in a row and not even feel bad because it is so jam-packed with healthy nutrients. The only thing I would do differently next time is use fresh dill in the tahini dressing as it would have taken the flavor up a notch (if that’s possible?!)- only had dried on hand and couldn’t really taste it. Wow. Can’t wait for tomorrow’s lunch so I can eat it again :)
Cindy says
My daughter made this for us tonight – delicious! At first we thought the ingredients were an odd combination but we definitely liked it and it will be in the “make again” recipe file.
Great! Thanks for sharing, Cindy!
christine says
this recipe is great, both me and my carnivore boyfriend love it! I think the tomatoes on top definitely make it excellent and add a nice balance to the flavors! Also, I use the garlic herb sauce recipe all the time! Adding the sauce to simple roasted veggies over rice makes it a really easy, delicious meal. It tastes great with and without the dill, but the dill definitely gives it a nice strong herby flavor. Awesome recipe here, and sauce !
Kera says
I made these for dinner last night and just ate leftovers for lunch. They were so tasty and I love the layering of flavors. Thanks for helping me mix things up! I’ve been a little stuck in a rut with meals and this was a great change. Oh, and my 8-year-old daughter even liked it!
Wonderful! thanks for sharing, Kera!
Natasha says
This is the first recipe I’ve made from your site. I had to try this dish after seeing it on a random Buzzfeed article I came across. Although I’m not a vegan, I found this meal completely satisfying and delicious. I also made your favorite green smoothie for breakfast and have leftover hummus to snack on too.
Wonderful! Thanks for sharing, Natasha! Hope you stick around!
Marie says
I made this for dinner…
The pictures were wonderful, i NEEDED to cook that dish…
And now… I’m completely addicted! It was so good! Even my fussy 10 y.o. loved it!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!
Yay!! You know it’s a winner when the 10 year old loves it! Thanks for sharing!
Diane says
Made this for dinner tonight – holy crap it was AWESOME. Thank you for the recipe! :)
Bou says
I reaaaaally liked this dish a lot. Good stuff
Thanks for sharing!
Elizabeth says
We made these last night and they were amazing. They looked professional, and the ingredient proportions were very forgiving. We used all of the ingredients (except coriander) and mixed the marinade for the toppings with some roasted zucchini as a side.
Definitely using this recipe again. Thank you!
suri says
yuuummmmmsssss….thanks! it is so yummy! i skipped the toppings. maybe next time. but i dont feel like anythingis missing…love these flavors!!! were the chickpeas suppose to firm up? or stay soft?
whatever- its great! and i could put the dressing on everything i think. by the way…for those who are allergic to sesame, almond butter is a great sub- even to make tahina.
Taylor says
OMG–this was so amazing. One of the best meals I’ve had in a long time, and I felt so great after eating it: no grains, just beans ‘n’ veggies. Best post-workout dinner ever.
To be fair, I did change it up a wee bit: I don’t like cumin or cinnamon so I rubbed cayenne, paprika, and pepper on the sweet potatoes instead. I also omitted the dill from the hummus sauce, which by the way WHAT A GREAT IDEA. A delicious, tangy, creamy sauce made from hummus? Genius!
This is going to be in regular rotation around here. Heck, I’m currently in the throes of my thesis so I may eat this for the next two weeks because it’s so easy (and I always have leftover hummus to use up). Thanks for always providing phenomenal and healthy recipes, Dana!
Lori says
I just discovered you and I’m hooked! I think next week’s menu might come solely from your blog. Can’t wait to try these amazing looking recipes! I’m a mom of 4 kids ages 5 and under, and we eat mostly vegan-ish, so quick healthy meals are must! Thanks for sharing such great easy recipes!
Donnielle says
I just had to try these and had the intentions to do it by the reciepe but along the way I decided to use a cheese and nut free, extra garlicky pesto instead of the garilc spread and then added some goat cheve before adding the tomato salad mix.. Thank you so much for this wonderful idea. It is a favorite and we will have many more wondeful dishes like this.
Julie @ Willow Bird Baking says
My husband and I loved this meal. I used tahini and it did need a little something extra. I doubled the lemon juice, add about 1 extra clove of garlic and about 1 extra teaspoon dill (I used fresh), and add about 1/4 teaspoon salt. It was very hearty, filling, and delicious! Thanks for a great recipe!
Karin says
Thank you so much for the recipe. Really needed an addition to my recipes; this is different and delicious!
Shannon says
I just made this and it was delicious! Thank you for such a simple and satisfying recipe.
Kirsten Amor says
This meal has become one of my go-to recipes after a workout! I hope you don’t mind me sharing it on my blog, it’s just too handy not to share!
Chris Ashenden says
If embarking on a homemade raw food diet for your
pet (sometimes referred to as BARF), thoroughly research the area first as nutritional
balance is essential. People who find themselves participating in fat loss
also need dietary supplements to help keep them healthy.
Soy – Look for tofu, soy milk, or edamame rather than soy powder.
Pamela says
Hi!
I’m Pam. I am A wellness coach and working on a program for my Integrative Dr for a workshop cooking class this summer, may I use some of your recipes if I give you credit and add your link?
Thanks,
Pam
Megan says
I made this last night and also took it to work for lunch this morning! While my chick peas didn’t turn out quite right, the rest of the dish was amazing! I loved the hummus sauce. I also made some Italian meatballs, and found that three of those and half of a (large) sweet potato was very filling. I really enjoyed this, but I’m not sure if my fiance would eat it, haha. It may have to be a girls night kinda thing :)
Jackie says
This was absolutely delicious! Definitely will make again. Thank you for the recipe!
Debbie S. says
This recipe has become one of my go-to lunch recipes for work. It’s a really easy recipe and I can make several portions, which re-heat in a snap. To top it off I usually make a salad with tomatoes, cucumbers, red bell pepper, parsley and lemon juice (instead of just the tomatoes.) The garlic hummus sauce is fantastic!
Wonderul! thanks for sharing Debbie!
Michele says
I made this tonight and it was a hit with my family. My husband decided he wanted to go vegetarian and I wanted to support him so we all as a family have been eating more veggie meals. This by far has been my favorite! It is very flavorful and my kids loved it! I will be subscribing to your blog. It was easy and done in no time! Thank you!
Wonderful! thanks for sharing, Michele!
Sally Parker says
Happy Mum, happy Daddy and and even happy toddler after this yummy meal. Will definitely be making this on a regular basis. So quick and easy and the flavours are fantastic. The humble sweet potato is king!
Amanda says
um… yum! I left the chickpeas in the oven a little too long, so I need to pay attention next but the flavors were still awesome. Loved the garlic herb sauce!
Ali says
I make this all the time; it’s amazing. One thing I did differently this time was sub cayenne for the cinnamon. Gives it a more savory-spicy vibe than sweet. I also double the sauce because the sauce is amazing. I fill a 1/2c measuring cup with some of the chickpeas from the oven and cover them in tahini to fill the rest to make the sauce. It works well that way. Thank you :) :)
Smart ideas! thanks for sharing, Ali!
jes mchaney says
When you say “chili garlic sauce” as optional toppings, what are you referring to? Is there a recipe somewhere that I’m not seeing? Sounds great!
It’s just the chili garlic sauce you can get at the grocery store in the asian section. It’s a clear jar with a green top! Basically just ground chilis and garlic.
Nora Maria says
I made this for dinner yesterday and I totally fell in love with it!! I added some black beans and onions to the roasted chickpeas and it was sooo delicious!
I’ll definitely cook that again and again and again and… :-)
Thanks for sharing the recipe!!
Justine says
I love sweet potatoes! Fry them, bake them, sprinkle marshmallows on them and put them in a casserole, or plain. These are the BEST sweet potatoes I’ve EVER had. My husband made them last night and I raved about them so much, he thought I was being sarcastic. Thank you for sharing this recipe, I will probably be eating this weekly!
April Edgar says
My husband and I made this tonight, it is amazing! It’s so delicious! I recommend this recipe 100%. We will be having this again for sure! I have just started following your page and every recipe I have tried so far has been amazing! Thank you so much for sharing.
Cheri says
We had this for dinner last night and it was even better than I thought it would be – and I expected amazing from reading the combination of ingredients. Easy and fast and healthy as well. I added some feta and olive tapenade to the toppings. We loved it and will be having it on our regular rotation. Thanks so much!
Sara says
Just made it – soooo delicious!!! The combination of flavours and textures is amazing!
Thanks for sharing it ❤
Dave says
I’ve only just gone from veggie to vegan and this was my first intentionally vegan meal… And it was stunning! I’m reworking the sauce to replace loads of others and plan to do slight variations of the whole thing for casual dinner parties.
Thanks so much for sharing this!
Nancy says
You know, when you find a recipe that is so delicious you want everyone to take a bite. well, this one is past that, you want to eat it all. Maybe, just maybe, if someone is close enough to your heart you’ll let them look at it (not too close) and even take a whiff. But no way am I EVER going to share my plate (no leftovers here!)
Kate Nicholson says
I hate when sweet potatoes are served sweetly–for example with brown sugar and marshmallows on top. This was the perfect antidote to that. The savory chickpeas, the garlic, the tomatoes contrasted perfectly with the sweet potatoes! Yum!
Bronte says
These are the best! They look and taste so fancy but they’re so straightforward! I definitely impressed some non-vegans with this recipe :)
Alyse says
Delicious and easy! Thank you.
archana says
this was delish! I added some feta on top and it added a nice additional texture. An amazing combination of flavors – thank you!
Janice Hynes says
Made this tonight, absolutely delishes! So simple and fast!
Liz Wainwright says
This was absolutely delicious! Usually vegetarian but doing a little detox and found your website which inspired me. Very happy that I have your ideas to support me over the next few weeks. Thanks for thinking of this recipe. Smoky, sweet, creamy, nutty, fresh plate of yum.
Tatum Murray says
Making this tonight!! Looks amazing and I can’t wait to try it!!

great recipe..thank you very much.It is wonderful (I think I skipped a little more lemon but is perfect anyway)
Nadia says
I had never made sweet potatoes before, but thanks to your recipe I’m hooked now. I made these last night and they were absolutely delicious! That sauce is simply amazing! My husband said I made his day by making him these. Definitely making these again! Thanks so much for this fantastic recipe!
yay! that made my day. thanks for sharing, Nadia!
Diane says
This is an amazing recipe. I substituted cilantro for the parsley and all the flavors together were incredible. I will make this again.
thanks for sharing, diane!
angie says
Could i use regular peas instead of chickpeas?
I don’t think so, but it’s worth a try!
andrea says
A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!
Had these for dinner tonight and my kiddos (ages 10, 8, 6, 4 and 2) gobbled them up asking for more – and they “don’t like sweet potatoes” :)
Thanks so much – ordered your cookbook and can’t wait to make all of my meals from it!!!!
Julia says
I made these last night for a group of non-vegan friends, and everyone loved it! I’ve already had 3 requests for the recipe!
Leslie Long says
This was a spectacular dish. I’ve cooked sweet potatoes for years but never thought to halve them for faster cooking and also caramelization of the face-down flesh — thank you! And the combo of baked chick peas (we rubbed the spices on the potatoes, too, before baking) was so delicious. Sauce was fabulous. Didn’t make the tomato topping, but even without, it was unique and memorable.
Thanks Leslie! Glad you enjoyed them!
Michelle Paraschac says
Thank you so much for this recipe. I couldn’t believe my family loved it and they loved the sauce as well. Just amazing. Thanks for all you do.
Thanks Michelle!
Kara says
I live when I can get my husband to eat a meatless dinner! This dish was amazing, although I totally burned the chickpeas the first time (thought they cooked as long as the sweet potatoes! Whoops!)
Emilie says
Loved it! I made the sauce with loads of dill and I used tahini instead of the hummus and its delicious. I discovered your blog just recently and I’m already looking forward to trying another recipe.
Thanks !!
Sarah says
So this is my second time making this recipe and it is just as good this time as it was the last! My boyfriend and I are both meat-eaters. While a lot of veggie/vegan recipes tend to feel like they’re lacking something, this one just doesn’t. It’s perfect. It’s filling, and zesty. The chickpeas are crunchy and feel nice against the smooth potato. Can you tell I’m not a food critic? I don’t have the language to describe how awesome this is. I’m eating it right now actually.
Anyway, I love this dish. A lot. I had to double the recipe for the chick peas and the chili garlic sauce this time around, because last time my boyfriend and I couldn’t stop pigging out and didn’t save enough toppings for the rest of the potatoes!
Not to mention it’s so colorful and beautiful when you’re all done plating. Made me feel like a chef!
5 Billion Stars. Also thank you for the super easy, well-written directions!!
Shauna says
Yay!! This is delicious. Thanks for posting .. I love love loved the roasted chick peas
Total yumminess x’s infinity
Carrie says
This was delish! I was looking for a quick recipe with sweet potatoes and chickpeas, and I found it here. So many flavors… I will probably make it with different proportions of spices next time, but all-around fabulous dish!
Sarah G says
I was back in Ireland with my family for Christmas, along with my other half who is vegan. it was the first time he had been staying with my family. My mum made these for lunch one day, absolutely delish and a great addition to our vegan recipe repertoire. Mum has been inspired to eat more vegan and vegetarian food, so a great success all round! We also really enjoy your vegan key lime pies, which I sometimes make with a ginger biscuit base. Keep up the inspiring work :)
So great! I’m happy to hear that we’ve inspired more vegetarian eating in your family. Cheers!
admattai says
I just made this recipe yesterday for lunch – it was excellent! The only change I made is that I used homemade carrot hummus instead of plain hummus for the sauce. I will definitely make this again :)
Bryan says
Made this last night as I’m trying to move to a more plant based diet (damn you cholesterol and glucose), and it was incredibly easy and delicious and filling! Thank you thank you Minimalist Baker person!
B. in L.A.
Love it! Thanks for sharing, Bryan! Good luck on your transition!
Cindy says
I made this for a potluck with lots of kids. Success!
Great! Thanks for sharing, Cindy!!
Jen says
Made this along with the fall slaw, stuffed mushrooms, and tofu chocolate pie for a family holiday gathering. What a hit! I found it pretty quick and easy to make, a great dish for a gathering, as it is easy to make at the same time as other things…and it looks very fancy when it’s all put together. I definitely baked the sweet potatoes about 10-15 mins longer than suggested (with intermittent checking!), and they came out great. My family agreed that it was really nice to have such a healthy and delicious holiday meal, and we were all absolutely stuffed after (including my carnivorous brother!) Even my 6 year old who didn’t even want to try it, upon taking her required taste (she has to at least try everything) devoured the whole thing faster than I ate mine! Big win for all the recipes we tried! Thanks so much.
Heather Harkness says
This recipe is INCREDIBLE. I wish I could fast forward time to tomorrow night dinner, solely so I can eat it again!
Ha! Great news. Thanks for sharing, Heather!

Unfortunately no photos…as I was running out of the house for our group dinner. I have never been one to really follow recipes however I saw this recipe and followed every step. I served a huge group of american and hispanic friends many of whom are not big vegi fans….this recipe was the BIG HIT of the evening! I shared Minimalist Baker with everyone….they keep asking for more…and I plan on delivering ;)
Great, thanks Laura!
Ell says
I’ve recently started cooking vegan and this recipe caught my eye. The photos look so beautiful that you’d think it would be hard to make but it was so simple! Easy and delicious. I’ll be making this again and again!
Lisa says
Just finished eating this… I intended just having one potato with proportionate sauce and chickpeas, but that didn’t happen! I ate two big ones with most of the sauce and most of the chickpeas! Ha…. It was absolutely the most garlicky dish ever and it burnt my tongue and I loved it! I have made several of your recipes and each is better than the last; all completely amazing. I made your hummus last night fortuitously as I could then use it in this dish. Hurrah. Thank you so so much for your wonderful, inspiring and deeply delicious recipes.
Vici says
This looks so amazing! I can just imagine the flavours being absolutely fantastic together. Going to make these tonight for my boyfriend, hope they turn out well! :)
Raylene Barton says
I just made this and it is seriously delicious! And easy…. :)
Anna says
Made this for dinner tonight as part of our vegan Thanksgiving week (to lead into the traditional actual Thanksgiving dinner). The tang of the dressing was perfect with the sweet of the potato. My garden still has oodles of Italian parsley- I was happy to be able to use it!
Yay! Thanks for sharing, Anna! Cheers. xoxo
Toby says
I made this tonight and it was delicious! I loved the addition of cinnamon to the chickpeas. I’m always looking for yummy and beautiful vegetarian dishes and this sure takes the cake. Plus, my house smells amazing! Thank you!
Christine L says
I made this last night. Seriously delicious! My boyfriend and I loved this dish. Yummy yum yum, looking forward to left overs for lunch :)
Anna says
Oh, and I give you 5 stars of course for creating a recipe that even I can cook AND that tastes fantastic.
Anna says
I made this tonight, and it was great! I must say, I don’t normally enjoy cooking because I’m bad at multitasking, but this was really easy, and tasted amazingly good, and even my boyfriend liked it, who normally cooks for us because I tend to be really bad at it usually :) I will come back to this site often now and try all the other stuff. It’s so hard to find vegetarian dishes that are not totally greasy, yet filling and yummy, have easy-to-find ingredients and do not require crazy amounts of multitasking. Yey! Thank you so much. Best wishes from Germany!
C Thornton Adams says
I made this for my 4 non vegan family members and they were raving about it. The flavours are so interesting and work together so well. I also added a spinach and avacado salad and couscous salad. Thank you for this wonderful recipe, it wil be joining my monthly rotation!
Marcelle says
Forgot to add my 5 star rating.
Marcelle says
Oh my goodness – this recipe is fantastic! I just made it for me and my husband tonight and it was delicious in so many ways. The slight sourness of the sauce balances the sweetness of the sweet potatoes perfectly. I love your food blog! I have a dream to start one of my own vegetarian food blog one day as I love to cook and I’m a writer by profession. I don’t eat meat and try to eat vegan often so your recipes are perfect for me and my family. I included my “blog” website here (getting some practice for now) and would love your feedback on some of my original recipes. It’s so fun to cook healthy food and even more fun to eat it!
Judy says
I came across this great recipe on Pinterest. I love sweet potatoes. They are so nutritious and low glycemic, so a wonderful food on which to fill up when trying to keep calories down. I’ll make this for my son, who is lactose intolerant and loves sweet potatoes. I have a question though — what is chili garlic sauce? Is that a common item I can purchase? Thanks!!
It’s this! Good luck, Judy.
Judy says
Thanks so much! Now I can try the recipe. Much appreciated.
Judy
Sue says
I don’t even like sweet potatoes and these were amazing!
I did double the spices and the sauce–I always do that–and roasted the tomatoes first (because I hate raw tomatoes, but love them cooked (weird, I know)). Really just so good. And easy to make.
Thanks!
Saffy B says
I made these for dinner last night and they are soooooo good! The only thing I did differently was double the spices for the chickpeas (I do that for most recipes) which I definitely recommend. When I do them next time, I’ll probably also double the amount of sauce and toppings, just because it was so tasty. My mouth is watering just thinking about them. Do yourself a favour and make these today! :)
Gracia Fay Ellwood says
This looks like a great Thanksgiving dish. I request permission to include it in the Nov. issue of my online journal The Peaceable Table, together with one of the pictures. I will of course acknowledge you.
Thanks!
Billy Beckley says
Great on a bed of baked beans.
Karissa says
These are absolutely delicious!!! Thank you so much for this recipe!
I will make them again and again. :-)
Yay! Glad you enjoyed them, Karissa!
Jo says
I am also eating this right now and I couldn’t even finish before feeling the need to Thank You for the recipe!!!
I adjusted the recipe and used what I had at home: sweet potatoes, hummus, canned chickpeas, canned diced tomatoes, olive oil, cinnamon, garlic, and I added crushed red pepper. So a bit more “minimalist” due to not wanting to make a grocery store run. Anyway the combo turned out to be SO delicious and my only regret is that I don’t have any guests over tonight!!!
Thanks for yet another delicious dish!
Yay! Glad you enjoyed them, jo!
Sarah says
I am eating this right now. I didn’t have any dill or chili garlic sauce, so I just added chili powder and garlic salt to my tomato/lemon garnish and it still came out great! I think this just became my new favorite thing to cook ever. I’m not even vegetarian and I’m going to make this all the time!
Mia says
Winner Winner Chick Pea Dinner!
L says
Generally speaking I am practically carnivorous and can’t stand the idea of a vegetarian, much less vegan meal, but I am trying to diversify my diet so I gave this a try, and it was so incredibly delicious! I’m definitely going to have to try out more of your recipes. Thanks for making veganism accessible!
Yay! Glad you enjoyed it. I’ve found this to be one of the easiest, most satisfying vegan meals I’ve ever had. Glad oyu thought so, too!
K. says
It looks amazing!! I can’t wait to cook it! One question but.. It is 400 degrees Fahrenheit, not Celsious, isn’t it? Thanks!:-)
Yep! 400 F
Jessica says
Just made this- absolutely wonderful! And, now we have some fantastic leftovers for lunches this week. Thanks for sharing!
Annie Lou says
I found this recipe via Pinterest. I am new to cooking and, so far, I am not enjoying it. It’s not intuitive to me and I find so many recipes that don’t clearly explain how to do certain things or give tips on the order to do things (while this is cooking, do this! Or, mix this ahead of time.), which is probably fine for seasoned cooks, but it leaves me lost and discouraged! I also like recipes with minimal ingredients (at least for now, but probably forever!), so I am thrilled to have found your blog via this recipe. Your instructions are so clear. Thank you! I am planning to try this meal next week!
Elizabeth says
Just looking at this recipe made my heart happy & my soul warm. Well done. Will be making this soon.
xx,
Elizabeth
emily says
This recipe is amazing. I found your site few weeks ago and am obsessed. I’ve tried about a dozen or more of your recipes and all are just fantastic. I like that I can make something healthy and tasty and I know it will turn out. Its so nice to make something and be confident that it wont be a fail. So, just wanted to say thank you so very much for all the amazing treats and meals. Love all the photos and am looking forward to more recipes and trying all of them. its making my grocery budget bust a bit. thanks
Maija says
Just made this for dinner and it was delicious! Can’t wait to try out your other recipes! <3
Molly Anderson says
I cannot wait to make this recipe!! It looks so full of flavor and healthy for you too! Would be great for leftovers to take to work as well.
Absolutely! I reheated leftovers (sans tomato parsley salad) and it was amazing! Good luck!
Rachel says
I was confused by the cook time too. I was also confused as to where the chili garlic sauce went. Do you mix it with the tomato/parsley or add it on top by itself? I guess it doesn’t make a difference but I thought it was weird how it wasn’t mentioned in the instructions.
Rachel, the chili garlic sauce is optional and you can put it wherever you want. I would suggest on top of the parsley salad. As for the cooking time:
whole potatoes: 45 minutes – 1 hour
Halved potatoes: 25 – 30 minutes
Rachel says
I love this recipe! I made it for dinner and my hubby and I loved how flavorful it was! Next time I’ll use half as much parsley and double the sauce. The sauce is soooo good! I’ll be having left overs tomorrow.
Janice Price says
I made this tonight at the cottage, it was exceptionally good! Next time I would cook my chickpeas in my pressure cooker. Otherwise I used garden fresh parsley,tomatoes, and onion. For spices I used herb de province and southeast Asian curry . Liked it so much I sent the recipe on yo my kids who have discriminating tastes. Thank you!
Jenna says
This looks beautiful and delicious. I’ve been doing a Mexican style sweet potato with black beans and corn, but I will have to give this a try. My only question, my husband really dislikes tomatoes. Do you have anything you’d suggest as a substitute? Thanks!
Just leave them out!
Natalie says
Hi, Dana!
I’m writing my grocery list for this week and the ingredients for this recipe are on it! :)
In the suggestions for garnishes, you list “chili garlic sauce”. Would that be a store-bought brand of sauce or something I could make at home? I’m always looking for ways to make recipes spicy…
Thanks!
It’s the brand that has a green top and a clear plastic jar with bright red sauce and chili flakes in it. I believe it’s the same brand as the rooster sriracha brand. Hope that helps!
Brittany says
Oh man, I definitely want to try this recipe!!
Lillie says
Your baking instructions for the sweet potatoes are a little confusing– does 45 minutes mean double the normal time? Or is 45 minutes the time you cook the sweet potatoes when they are halved?
Please clarify.
Sorry to confuse!
Halved = 25 – 30ish minutes
Whole = 45 min – 1 hour
Caitlin says
This was really good! The sauce was incredible. I just cooked the chickpeas in a skillet with a bit of olive oil and they were fantastic. So much better than right out of the can.
Lovely! Thanks for sharing, Caitlin. Glad you liked it!
Robby A says
I literally just finished eating this. Despite a few screw ups on my end, it was DELISH!!!! I didn’t have any dill on hand for the sauce, but I’m not a huge dill person so I just added extra garlic. I used Sabra original hummus. My biggest blunder was, I only soaked my chick peas (from bulk bins) for 2 days. They need to be boiled a minute or two to be soft all the way thru, so my chick peas were not as soft as I would have liked, but it didn’t ruin the dish. The flavors are so good together. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Kat Wood says
Can’t wait to try these, but the calories you have listed are way off – a sweet potato by itself is around 300 calories. Thanks for the great idea!
Kat, thanks for the note, but where did you get your information? Find my source here, which lists only 162 calories for one large sweet potato.
Kat Wood says
Hmmm…maybe it’s the difference between a yam and a sweet potato? I always thought they were essentially the same thing, but the yams seem to be a bit more hefty calorie-wise… The ones I got were yams and were about 275 grams each (and I think I would consider them medium yams) and they were listed as about 325 calories each on myfitnesspal
Thanks! Kat
Leah Musgrove says
Oh myyyyy gosh. We LOVED this tonight. Our toddlers had seconds and thirds. Love every flavor together. You are a food combination genius. Thanks so much for the recipe! xo
Yay! Glad you enjoyed it, Leah!
Deb says
Simple but beautiful ! will make it soon :)
Sue Ann Jaffarian says
LOVED this recipe. But I only baked 2 potatoes and I’m glad I did. I thought the rest of it too good to spread around between 4 potatoes. The sauce is AMAZING! I also chopped a full cup of parsley and used one whole roma tomato instead of the cherry tomatoes. So easy and so delish! I know I’ll be making this often.
Pam says
This was AWESOME! Simply AWESOME.
Thanks!
Rudy says
Pictures are great, text is nice and instructive, with personality, and recipe is healthy, I really liked this article. That gave me the desire to try. Thank you
Brittney says
This sounds so fresh and unique! Definitely on my to-try list!
April H. says
Another delicious one! Super amazing. Again, excellent in my lunch the next day. The kiddo took the extra roasted chickpeas in her lunch. Thanks!
Yay! Glad you all enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing, April!!
Kirsten says
Hello hello! My husband and I made this recipe last night and loved it!! We ended up buying these golden sweet potatoes (which had a similar texture to a russet or Yukon but was just as sweet as a yam) and served it over wild black rice. Very delicious and we loved the creativity of the meal. :) thanks for sharing.
Yay! Glad you both enjoyed it, Kirsten. Thanks for sharing!
Shikha @ Shikha la mode says
That’s awesome that you are reading (and finishing) books – I need to do that. I definitely understand the urge to eat guac every meal – it’s just so good!
Swee San says
love it! i’ve gotta make this soon..
vivian says
I made this for dinner tonight, and it was absolutely delicious. The only deviation from the recipe was a mistake on my part. Our kitchen is being renovated and I grabbed ground cardamom instead of ground coriander. Still delicious, and next time I will use the spice specified in the recipe. Thanks so much!
Ah, cardamom would add an interesting twist indeed! Glad you still enjoyed it, Vivian. Good luck with that renovation!
Kelzee says
Hooray for the first sweet potato of fall! The freshness of the parsley and tomato on top made it a nice way to ease into the new season, and the garlic sauce was perfect (I made it with your microwave hummus, which was AMAZING). What’s up with sweet potatoes being darn near impossible to cut lengthwise, though?!
Sharp knife is the key! Glad you enjoyed these, Kelzee :D
Kristi says
I have recently made several of your amazing recipes. This was dinner tonight and it was fantastic! Thanks for sharing!
Hannah R. says
I’m currently roasting the sweet potatoes and chickpeas to make this yummy looking dish! So excited. Thanks for linking to those podcasts too; I’ve been all about podcasts lately and those sound like some I’d enjoy. One more thing, The Fault in Our Stars is one of my absolute favorites! Glad you liked it too.
The fault in our stars! SO good. Glad you’re a fan, too. Let me know what you think of those podcasts if you give them a listen. Glad you enjoyed this dish! Thank for sharing, Hannah.
Erin says
So this was delicious. The tahini sauce alone was fantastic. First time I’ve made roasted chick peas. I’ll be doing those again.
I used Penzey’s spices so everything was fresh and the flavors were great together. I’m thinking of mixing up a small batch of the spices to use as a regular blend for other things.
My dinner guest brought me some of the bounty from her garden so I used the heirloom tomatoes with the parsley and that came out great too. I’m thinking of making up some of that and letting the flavors meld a bit.
Any other eggplant recipes?
This was a lot of work but oh so tasty.
So glad you enjoyed it, Erin! I have plenty of eggplant recipes. Scour them all in the savory section of our recipes page: https://minimalistbaker.com/recipes/savory/
laura says
i LOVE your recipes! this one was just deeeee-li-cious!
very inspiring,beautiful site!
Thanks Laura! So glad you enjoyed it!
Tamara says
You inspired me with this post. I have been over indulging and not getting enough plants, so I decided to try this last night. Mine was not as pretty as yours, but it was great. Will definitely make again!
Glad you enjoyed it, Tamara! I find the more you eat plants, the more routine it becomes AND the more you crave them. Good luck!
Quinn says
Wow I love this post so much. I recently saw Cowspiracy by Kip Andersen and it has SO changed the way I think about food. I’m going completely vegan this October to see if it’s a sustainable thing for me to do and I’ve been doing almost all of my meal planning using your recipes! I love your blog so so much. Thanks for doing all that you do. By the way…I made a spin on your pumpkin bread and it’s on my blog right now. Thanks again!
-Quinn
P.S. I NEED to try this recipe asap because sweet potatoes and med food are two of my favorites.
I’ll be sure to check out your spin on my pumpkin bread! I haven’t seen Cowspiracy yet, but intend to. Just what I heard of his interview was incredibly enlightening/inspiring!
Asli says
I am a complete hummus maniac so when i read the recipe yesterday, i decided to make it for dinner. Thank you very much. It was absolutely delicious, and it’s such a creative recipe…
Glad you enjoyed it, Asli!
xiomara says
I’ve been making a similar dish like this for a while now it’s one of my go to meals after I workout the only difference is I use ripe plantains instead of sweet potato & I don’t add dill to the tahini sauce but I tried it today with the dill and it was awesome I will forever add dill. & maybe one day when I’m patient enough to bake a sweet potato I will try it that way.
& p.s this is my absolute favorite blog ! ! !
You are the sweetest! thanks for the kind words. So glad you enjoyed this recipe, and thanks for sharing the tips on your variation. Sounds delish! Also, DILL FOR THE WIN.
Hannah Elizabeth says
I’m right with you on the chips and guac…I could eat that all day every day pretty much (except for the lack of nutrition :)). And totally feel you on the good cry! Music is good for the soul, for sure.
Gaby says
My mouth is watering, love this fall recipe!!
Randle Browning says
Oooh yum. I made this last night and it was delicious. Thanks for the great recipe!
Hooray! Glad you enjoyed it, Randle!
Vanessa @ VeganFamilyRecipes says
My family and I eat sweet potatoes at least 4x a week. It’s surprising we haven’t turned orange yet. I’m going to try your Garlic Herb Sauce tonight. Looks really delicious and your pictures are gorgeous as always :)
Maryea {happy healthy mama} says
I love making sweet potatoes a meal and this recipe looks lovely. Right up my alley. Gonna try it soon!
irisheyesaresmiling1992 says
I read The Fault In Our Stars two summers ago and absolutely loved it. When it came to the film release I wasn’t sure whether or not I wanted to see it as I had such strong images in my head of the characters and their time in Amsterdam etc. ……Of course when my friend asked me to go and see it with her I ended up saying yes. Even knowing the story and what to expect didn’t stop those tears in the cinema! What an amazing book.
I am looking forward to trying this sweet potato recipe -I have made something similar before with chickpeas in sweet potato but with chopped mozzarella and garlic which was delicious so I can’t wait to try the garlic herb sauce with almond milk.
Thanks for sharing!
I have yet to see the film but based on your thoughts, I think it’s a must. Thanks for sharing! Hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I did!
Sherrah says
I don’t only like it Dana… I loved it! I shared it to my friends and they are excited to taste it too. Thanks!
Great, thanks Sherrah! Thanks for sharing :D
cheyenne says
these just look amazing. perfect fall food!
xo, cheyenne
Eileen says
These sweet potatoes look so amazing! Why have I never thought to top mine with hummus? Such a great plan, especially with plenty of intense tabbouleh-style salad veg. Yay!
Katie @ Produce On Parade says
Firstly, LOOOOVE Greg Laswell. Second, love this time of year too, I’ve been eating a lot of avocados for some reason. These sweet potatoes are awesome, I love chickpeas and sweet taters together! What a filling, hearty, warm, autumn meal!
Greg Laswell FOR LIFE. Glad you’re a fan as well!
Hannah says
This was dinner tonight and it was so good! Already planning to have it again for dinner tomorrow…and definitely adding it to the rotation!
Whoop! Two nights in a row. That’s a good sign. Thanks for sharing! xoxo
Inna says
Eating them as I type. :)
I baked the chickpeas only 15 minutes, because I like them soft and used purple basil instead of parsley and dill (only herb I had on hand).
Delicious and very satisfying!
Inna says
New development! I sprinkled some Za’atar spice on top – WOW!
Yay! Thanks for sharing! xoxo
De says
I may or may not be slightly obsessed with sweet potatoes. I made some sweet potato nachos this weekend that I’m still dreaming of. As a result, I saw the email with this recipe and immediately got excited. I’m already down for anything you post and if it involves sweet potatoes, I’m automatically sold. Can’t wait to try this! You rock!
Ah, thanks De! Hope you give this one a try!
Alfiya says
It looks absolutely delish!!! I have sweet potatoes growing in my garden and was looking for some ideas and recipes to serve them, and yours is ONE of them!!! I’ll have to try it coming weekend, and we’ll eat them potatoes and herbs fresh from the garden. Thank you very much for sharing your wonderful recipes!!!
Yay! Let me know how you like it!
Alanna says
Oooh yum. I think I could live on these (and chips and guac, of course!).
That’s why we’re friends.
athletic avocado says
Wow! I absolutely love sweet potatoes! This just takes to them to a whole new level! I can’t wait to make them! Thanks for sharing! :)
Sandee says
I want to make this right now!
Hannah says
This sounds like the perfect Fall meal. I’m inspired! I too have been known to get teary eyed after a good dose of mother nature :)
It’s the best feeling, isn’t it?
Lauren says
These sound delicious!!! I am going to try them tonight. How long did you roast the chickpeas for? Same amount of time as the potatoes? YUM!
Yep! But it’s flexible. Roast them longer for crispier texture, and less for softer texture.
Rosanna says
Hi Dana!
Besides LOVING your sweet potatoes recipe, I am so tickled about how many things you love that I happen to love too. I read “The Fault in Our Stars” and fell in love with the story. I’m 52 but still in love with hubby like teenagers!.. About sustainability, I would strongly recommend to everyone out there to see “Cowspiracy”.. It’s the truth that so many are not willing to hear…
Sounds like you had a great summer and happy Fall!
Hi Rosanna! I have intentions to see the documentary after listening to the podcast. Glad to hear you recommend it. Cheers!
Faith VanderMolen says
I love baked sweet potatoes! They’re so versatile. Also…The Fault in Our Stars…read it in one day. Tear jerker.
Right? So good!
hiipymomelizabeth says
This recipe looks so filling and satisfying! Great Job—Green love to you two as always!
Amanda G says
I was SO excited to see a Minimalist Baker email pop into my inbox. Can’t wait to try this recipe—and The Fault In Our Stars—omg!!!! It recently reignited my love for reading
What a kind thing to say! The fault in our stars FOR THE WIN. Seriously. I started it and finished it the same week, which is very unlikely for me. SO good.
Becky (The Cookie Rookie) says
What a gorgeous and brilliant recipe! Will be trying these for sure. Thank you!
Annaliese says
Oooh! These look great!! I may try them with butternut squash…I mean it IS fall after all!! I’ll let you know if I do, and how it turns out :) Thanks for the lovely idea!!! PS: I too get a bit emotional about fall, and the leaves changing…mostly because I know that the Wisconsin winter with all her frosty, below-zero glory are looming…….oh well! More excuse to drink hot cocoa :)
Ugh, winter is looming indeed. Get out and enjoy fall while you can!
El bocado de la huerta says
Que buen tubérculo.
La presentación del plato bien apetecible.

Meinhilde says
This looks amazing! I’m always on the lookout for quick and easy meatless meals for myself, too. I will definitely try this out!
Jessica says
Thanks for the podcast shout out! Now…I need to go buy all the ingredients for this dish. Looks so good!
Of course! Just listened to the Balanced Blonde podcast. So great! Keep it up, friend!
Carlynn says
Dana, I get emotional in the Fall too…Maybe it has something to do with shedding things…I dunno : ) Anyway, I had a good cry this weekend just because this whole blogging/life thing can be hard at times and whenever I feel defeated, I remember that super nice comment you left me a while back telling me to “Keep it up”. It always motivates me, and I thought you should know. So thanks x a million!
As for this recipe, I’ve been on a serious chickpea kick lately, so I am definitely going to try it! And that first picture especially, is to-die-for beautiful!
What a sweet thing to say! Glad I could be of some encouragement to you. Just checked your site and it looks like we’re both crushing on chickpeas right now. So great! Hope you enjoy this dish!
Valentina - sweet kabocha says
Oh. my. goodness.
I hope to find sweet potatoes ASAP!!! (in Italy it’s not so easy)
Yeah but you live in ITALY. Jealous! Good luck on your hunt!
Tina Muir says
These sound absolutely marvelous! Exactly my kind of thing, and what a lovely twist on the usual sweet potato recipe! These would be PERFECT for meatless monday, and I hope you will consider adding this to our linkup, this is the reason people should be eating meatless!
These would be a great recovery food for me as Chicago closes in, so many good things, but without lacking taste! YUM!
jenna @ just j.faye says
I love mediterranean flavors and I love sweet potatoes, so I’m 100% sure I would love this dish.
The Blonde Chef says
This looks like a yummy, simple and healthy meal that my husband would love! And that garlic herb sauce looks good enough to eat by the spoonful!
’tis. It fills your house with the most wonderful scent!
Tracey @ A Taste of Trace says
This sounds amazing! So simple, but it looks super flavourful! Any dish with sweet potatoes is a winner in my book, but with hummus? Unreal!!
Katrina @ Warm Vanilla Sugar says
Oh yesssss, this looks AWESOME!! Totally loving that sauce!
Lennae says
Yum, this sounds delish!

Rosie says
This recipe looks delicious, my mouth is watering after reading this. This recipe couldn’t have come at a better time because I’m feeling really uninspired with food at the moment but I know what I’m having for dinner tonight after seeing this!
Yay! Let me know how you like it, Rosie!
Danielle @ Chits and Chats and Chocolate says
I only recently became a fan of sweet potatoes, but it’s hit me at full force! These look delicious!
They’re the best! I could seriously live on them. Hope you like this meal!
Susan says
When do u add chili garlic sauce and how much??
Lora says
I’m going to try these, but the carbohydrate count to me is really high, so I’m trying to figure out how I mite cut that in half !
Delany says
Complex carbs are not carbs to be afraid of—they’re unrefined, they’ll fill you up, they’ll keep you satisfied longer, and have a lot more bulk than other foods relative to their calorie count. PLUS all those micronutrients in a sweet potato are only going to benefit you! Fill up on watery vegetables first like cucumber slices or a tomato’ and then eat this yummy meal until your satisfied and you should be good to go! If your watching your weight, you’re better off leaving out the oil in this recipe and just roasting the sweet potatoes and chickpeas without it. Oil adds a lot of extra calories that are pure fat without adding any of that “bulk” that gets and keeps you full and satisfied. Just my advice as a vegan whose lost 40 pounds on a high carb, low fat, whole foods diet and loves to eat big, satisfying meals! We eat fries all the time for example, but I coat them in lemon juice instead of oil and they are instantly a no guilt food. ?? As someone whose struggled with my weight since I was a child, I am beyond grateful to have found such a healthy, yummy, satisfying diet and lifestyle.
Delany says
**Simple carbs are good too, ie most vegetables and fruits. It’s the processed and refined carbs that we should be keeping in serious moderation.
Lori Benigni says
Omg the garlic sauce I would put on everything!! But so far this is my favorite recipe could eat it everyday yummy!!
Shelley says
I can’t find the recipe for the garlic sauce. Did i miss it??
It’s there in the recipe!
Sara says
I think the confusion here is because in one place you describe it as “Chili Garlic Sauce” and in another place you call it “Garlic Herb Sauce.” I had to read it a couple times to realize those were meant to be equivalent. Might need an edit. :)
Tracy says
This looks amazing! I can’t wait to make it. I’m a little confused, am I supposed to add the Chili Garlic Sauce to the tomotoes, parsley and lemon juice.
Gemma says
Chili Garlic Sauce and Garlic Herb Sauce are not the same thing. Garlic Herb Sauce is part of the recipe (ingredients listed on how to make it), Chili Garlic Sauce is something you can buy from the store, she lists it as an optional topping, if you desire.
Tammy says
where o where IS the garlic sauce recipe?
It’s just this!

Wish i would have done it sooner.I have saved a bunch of your recipes because they are simple, healthy and delicious. I’ve also lost 15 pounds since Jan 22! Thanks for the recipes and the exciting new tastes! You help keep me on track!
jenn says
I forgot to mention I couldn’t stop licking the spoon from the garlic hummus sauce. I did put dill in mine and would love to put some over some fresh cucumber slices. Yummy cucumber salad!!!
Kelly says
What an awesome idea!
Dom says
This Has created a huge argument. Do I put the spices on the sweet potatoes and the chickpeas before I put them in the oven or do I make those ingredients and spices part of the sauce!
Jess says
Instructions, step 3: “Toss rinsed and drained chickpeas with olive oil and spices and place on a foil-lined baking sheet.” This occurs prior to roasting. Potatoes are rubbed with a bit of olive oil – no spices (step 4).
