Method (serves 2)
• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
• Toss the sweet potatoes with salt, pepper, and paprika. Repeat this step for the chickpeas.
• Arrange the sweet potatoes in a single layer in the tray. Arrange the chickpeas next to the potatoes.
• Drizzle olive oil all over the potatoes and chickpeas.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 25 - 30 minutes, or just until the sweet potatoes are tender and chickpeas are crispy.
• Place the Kale on a baking tray. Drizzle with oil and season with salt & pepper. Bake for 4-5 minutes, or until crispy.
• Rinse the quinoa in a mesh colander and drain well.
