This Roasted Vegetables with Chickpeas can be a wonderfully tasty side dish as well as a main dish.
In this recipe I added sweet bell peppers, sweet potatoes/yams, carrots, and canned chickpeas.
A simple and easy dish to make but full of flavor, from the tender sweetness of the sweet potatoes/yams and bell peppers to the crisp nutty flavor of the roasted chickpeas.

Ingredients needed for this dish
- Sweet Potatoes or Yams – I like using either one of these root vegetables for this dish, use what you can find or have on hand.
- Bell Peppers – I like to use a sweet yellow, orange, or red pepper in this dish.
- Oil – I used olive oil drizzled on top of all the vegetables before baking.

How to make Roasted Vegetables with Chickpeas
Preheat the oven to 450° F.
Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper, set aside.
Clean and dice into bite sized pieces the sweet potatoes/yams, bell peppers, and carrots.
Spread the vegetables evenly onto the baking sheet.
Open, drain, and rinse a can of chickpeas, then sprinkle them evenly onto all the vegetables.
Drizzle all the vegetables with oil and season as you would like.
Mix everything together with your hands, making sure that the vegetables are covered completely.
Place the baking sheet into the oven and bake for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, stir the vegetables, and bake for another 20 to 25 minutes, or until everything is soft and has slightly browned.
Once done, remove from the oven and serve.
