How to Make Sweet Potato Curry With Spinach And Chickpeas

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel and chop 2 large sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender.
  2. While sweet potatoes roast, heat 1-2 tablespoons of canola or vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
  3. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until softened.
  4. Stir in 2 tablespoons curry powder, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, and ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  5. Add 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes with their juices and 1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed. Stir to combine.
  6. Add 1 cup water and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
  7. Add 5 ounces fresh spinach, a handful at a time, stirring until wilted. This should take about 3 minutes.
  8. Add the roasted sweet potatoes to the pot and stir gently to combine.
  9. Simmer for another 3-5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  10. Stir in ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro before serving.
  11. Serve hot over basmati rice or brown rice. Garnish with extra cilantro, if desired.
