Roasted Sweet Potato With Chickpeas, Goat Cheese, and Coriander image

Food52 Review: It's amazing how a few simple ingredients can yield a delicious, filling, and comforting meal. Renee Kemps' recipe works deliciously as a side or a light meal. The combination of creamy sweet potato with the tangy goat cheese and chickpeas is satisfying and flavorful. I could not find fresh coriander anywhere so I subbed a combination of fresh cilantro and flat leaf parsley and it was the perfect garnish to finish this dish. I loved the combination of flavors and enjoyed this as a great light lunch and then again as a side with a roasted chicken breast.

Time 1h

Yield 4 halves, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 large sweet potatoes
2 tablespoons olive oil
100 g chickpeas
200 g goat cheese
1 lemon juice, to taste
1 fresh coriander

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400º F (200º C). Cut the sweet potatoes in half lengthwise. Brush the top and skins with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Place the sweet potatoes cut side-down on a baking tray with parchment paper. Roast for 45 minutes, or until completely cooked through.
  • Take the sweet potatoes out of the oven. Turn them over and use a fork to make little insertions in their soft flesh. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Divide the chickpeas and goat cheese over the four halves and place them back into the oven for about 10 minutes, or until the goat cheese has melted.
  • Take the sweet potatoes out of the oven, drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, some lemon juice to taste, and add the coriander. Serve and enjoy!
