How to make it

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

  2. 2

    Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Toss them with a drizzle of olive oil, a pinch of salt, and a grind of pepper on a baking sheet. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly golden around the edges.

  3. 3

    While the sweet potatoes are roasting, heat a large pan or pot over medium heat. Add the red curry paste and cook for one minute, stirring constantly, until it smells wonderfully fragrant.

  4. 4

    Pour in the full-fat coconut milk and bring it to a gentle simmer. Stir well to make sure the curry paste is fully incorporated and the sauce is smooth and creamy.

  5. 5

    Add the rinsed and drained chickpeas to the pan. Let them simmer in the coconut curry sauce for about 5 to 7 minutes, giving them time to warm through and soak up all those delicious flavors.

  6. 6

    Finally, stir in the fresh baby spinach. Cook just until the spinach wilts, which should only take a couple of minutes, keeping it vibrant and green.

  7. 7

    To serve, divide the warm roasted sweet potatoes between two bowls. Spoon the creamy coconut chickpea and spinach mixture generously over the sweet potatoes. Enjoy your flavorful and easy meal!
