Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1/3 cup dried cranberries
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cups baby arugula
- 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
- 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the sweet potatoes and broccoli with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes until tender and golden.
- While the vegetables roast, heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the chickpeas with a pinch of smoked paprika for 3-5 minutes until lightly crisp.
- In a large bowl, combine roasted vegetables, chickpeas, arugula, and dried cranberries. Drizzle with balsamic glaze and gently toss to coat.
- Divide into bowls or plates and enjoy immediately while warm.
Tips for Success:
- Sweet potato choice: Opt for high-moisture sweet potatoes like Beauregard or Jewel.
- Don’t overcook the sweet potatoes: Roast them until tender but still slightly firm.
- Convenience: Canned chickpeas are a great shortcut, but you can cook dried ones if preferred.
- Add crunch: Top with chopped nuts or seeds for extra texture.
- Make ahead: This salad is great for meal prep and can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
