• pistachios (50g)
• olive oil
• maple syrup
• cinnamon

Kitchen Tools:

To start, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel and dice the purple sweet potatoes into small cubes. Trim the fennel bulb and slice it thinly. Drain and rinse the chickpeas. In a mixing bowl, toss the sweet potatoes, fennel, chickpeas, dried cranberries, and pistachios with olive oil, maple syrup, cinnamon, salt, and pepper.

Spread the mixture evenly on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and slightly caramelized. Make sure to toss the mixture halfway through the cooking time to ensure even roasting.

Once the dish is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. The combination of flavors and textures in this dish is truly a delight for the senses. The sweet potatoes add a subtle sweetness, while the fennel and chickpeas bring a savory crunch. The cranberries and pistachios provide bursts of tartness and nuttiness that tie everything together.

This dish weighs approximately 700g when cooked and serves 4 people. Each serving is around 175g and contains approximately 250 calories. For a unique twist, try sprinkling some crumbled feta cheese on top before serving. Enjoy experimenting with this recipe and make it your own!
