Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel and cube the sweet potatoes into uniform pieces. Toss them in a bowl with olive oil, salt, and seasonings. Spread on a baking sheet.
  2. Roast sweet potatoes for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through until tender and golden.
  3. Rinse and drain chickpeas, then pat dry. Toss in a bowl with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread on another baking sheet.
  4. If baking, roast chickpeas at 400°F (200°C) for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through. If air frying, air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
  5. In a bowl, whisk together tahini, water, lemon juice, and seasonings until smooth and creamy. Adjust water for consistency and taste, adding salt if needed.
  6. Assemble the dish by layering roasted sweet potatoes, topping with crispy chickpeas, and drizzling with tahini sauce. Add parsley or chili flakes if desired.
