Serves 4

• 2 sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Pinch of kosher salt
• One 15-ounce can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 1 shallot, minced
• 3 tablespoons fresh cilantro, roughly chopped

Dressing:

• 1 garlic clove, minced or grated on a microplane
• Zest and juice of 1 lemon
• 3 tablespoons tahini
• 2 tablespoons warm water
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. On a large rimmed baking sheet, toss the sweet potato cubes with the olive oil and salt. Arrange the potatoes in a single layer and roast until golden and tender, about 20 minutes. Remove the potatoes from the oven and transfer them to a large serving bowl.

2. To make the dressing, combine all the ingredients in a lidded glass jar, screw on
the top, and shake well.

3. Add the chickpeas, shallot, and cilantro to the bowl with the potatoes. Drizzle the tahini dressing over top and serve.
