Baked Sweet Potato With Garam Masala Chickpeas
A quick, easy, comforting and filling dinner idea using delicious plant-based ingredients that will nourish your body.
In my opinion, sweet potatoes are one of the most delicious foods ever! High in vitamins A, C, B5, B6 AND fibre, of course (we like fibre!). I usually bake a whole bag of them and store them in the fridge to snack on when I’m feeling peckish or when I need a quick lunch. Tastes amazing with any kind of beans, large side salad and hummus!
This may sound weird, but baked sweet potatoes also make a great dessert or sweet snack! Baking a sweet potato caramelises the natural sugars they contain – you can see in the shot below how the juices are oozing out! Tastes incredible topped with some almond butter and cinnamon. Just the thought of it is making me drool!
This baked sweet potato with garam masala chickpeas recipe is gluten-free, dairy-free and vegan.

Now THAT’S how we stuff a potato 😉 Delicious and satisfying my potato and Indian craving at once!
I don’t even usually go gaga over savory things, but this looks amazing! Caramelized sweet potatoes with those crispy edges and all that sweet creamy potato inside, mmm the best! And then you add all this flavorful protein on top, this is an awesome meal. And barely any hands on time!
Now this is my kind of comfort food. We are chick pea obsessed at the moment and especially love them with Indian spices.
What a pretty dish, Nadia! I’ve only recently come to like sweet potatoes, so I love finding new recipes like this. Love the addition of chick peas. Sounds SO good!
I love chickpeas with sweet potato but never would have thought of adding these spices. I need to try this!
That looks stunning! Exactly my type of dinner!
Wow these look so tasty. I absolutely love chickpeas and sweet potato! Will be pinning this to make in the future 🙂
I just made baked sweet potatoes last night! But with no where near as fun a topping! This looks delicious!
Oh this looks SOOOO good. Garam masala is one of my favorite spices. Why haven’t I put it on my chickpeas like this yet?! :O
Wow Nadia these look and sound amazing! Sweet potatoes and chickpeas are two of my favourite things! I love garam masala too. I definitely need to make this for my dinner tonight! Yum!
I love nothing more than Indian food, sweet potatoes and curry. The fact that you put them all together makes you so fabulous! I love your recipes and your creativity, Nadia! Keep it up!
Wow! What an amazing looking dish, Nadia. Garam masala adds such a nice flavor and aroma of chickpeas! Delicious!
Do you prepare the ginger in any way before it goes into the pan?
This is my favourite mid-week dish. Quick and easy…. and SO delicious! I can’t believe chick peas can taste so good! The tomatoes at the end are the perfect addition. I usually add a little spinach also toward the end of cooking and top it off with a scoop of Greek yoghurt. SO good!!!
So glad you enjoyed it Leona 😀
