Instructions

Wash and cut the sweet potatoes lengthwise into halves. Score each half in a crisscross pattern to ensure even cooking. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the sweet potato halves with olive oil and salt.
Place the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet, skin side up. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the sides are caramelized and the flesh is tender when pierced with a fork.
While the sweet potatoes are roasting, rinse and drain the chickpeas. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Toss the chickpeas in olive oil, smoked paprika, and salt.
Spread the seasoned chickpeas on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through for even crisping. The chickpeas should become golden and crispy.
Once the sweet potatoes are roasted, place them on a serving platter. Spread a generous dollop of hummus on each half, and then top with the roasted chickpeas. Sprinkle with sliced red onion, chopped parsley, and vegan feta (if using).
Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

For extra crispy chickpeas, make sure to dry them thoroughly before roasting.
Customize your toppings with options like avocado, tahini drizzle, or chili flakes.
Roast the sweet potatoes and chickpeas ahead of time and store separately for easy meal prep.
Ensure the chickpeas are evenly spread on the baking sheet for optimal crispiness.
