I’m a huge fan of any meal which involves sweet potato and this is one of my favourite sweet potato recipes. Lots of veggies and spices make it a delicious and healthy meal and there is no gluten to be found! It’s also a dish where you can easily mix and match the veggies and pulses in this dish to ensure you get your favourites in there. Lentils or kidney beans would make a good alternative to chick peas!
