Ingredients
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Wash + halve the sweet potato the long way and place face down on a baking sheet.
  3. In a small bowl, toss chickpeas with ¼ cup olive oil + paprika and place on another baking sheet.
  4. Place both the sweet potato + the chickpeas in the oven to cook for 45 minutes. Make sure to toss the chickpeas every so often so they are evenly crispy.
  5. While these foods are baking, prep the rest of the ingredients.
  6. Once you have 10 - 15 minute remaining of baking left, heat 2 tbsp of olive oil in a pan on medium heat. Add in garlic + beets and sauté for about 5 minutes.
  7. Then add lemon, marinara sauce, raw spinach + cumin and continue to continue for about 10 minutes on medium-low heat.
  8. Let the sweet potatoes + chickpeas cool for a few minutes.
  9. Once sweet potatoes are slightly cooled, mash the inside of the potato with a fork. Then layer on beet + spinach mixture and top off with crispy chickpeas + pomegranates. Enjoy!
