Categories     side-dish

Time 1h25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and medium diced
4 medium shallots, peeled and cut in half lengthwise
1/4 cup olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Two 15.5-ounce cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 tablespoon cayenne pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 tablespoons canola oil
1/4 cup fresh mint, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Divide the potatoes and shallots between two 10-inch cast-iron skillets. Evenly drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast until the potatoes are cooked through, about 25 minutes.
  • For the chickpeas: Lay the chickpeas out on a flat surface and dry them as much as you can using paper towels. In a small bowl, stir together the coriander, cumin, turmeric, cinnamon, cayenne and salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
  • In a 10-inch cast-iron skillet, heat the oil over medium heat until shimmering. Line a large plate with paper towels. Working in two batches, add the chickpeas to the skillet so they are in a single layer and cook, stirring frequently, until golden and crispy, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Use a slotted spoon to transfer the chickpeas to the prepared plate and add the spice mixture. Toss everything together until combined; this helps to bloom the spices while the chickpeas are still warm.
  • Garnish the potatoes in the skillets with the chickpeas and finish with the mint.

Tips:

  • Soak the chickpeas overnight. This will help to soften them and reduce their cooking time. If you don't have time to soak them overnight, you can quick-soak them by boiling them for 5 minutes, then removing them from the heat and letting them sit for 1 hour.
  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will add flavor and texture to your chili. Some good options include carrots, celery, onion, bell peppers, and corn.
  • Don't skimp on the spices. Chili is a dish that is meant to be flavorful, so don't be afraid to add a variety of spices. Some good options include chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • Simmer the chili for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. The longer you simmer the chili, the better it will taste.
  • Serve the chili with your favorite toppings. Some good options include shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped cilantro, and avocado.

Conclusion:

Sweet potato and chickpea chili is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a cold day. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it is easy to make. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious chili that your whole family will enjoy.
