Ingredients

  • Sweet potato - 300 grams, peeled and diced
  • Zucchini - 150 grams, diced
  • Red bell pepper - 100 grams, diced
  • Carrot - 100 grams, diced
  • Chickpeas - 1 cup, cooked or canned, drained and rinsed
  • Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
  • Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
  • Onion - 1 small, diced
  • Cumin - 1 teaspoon
  • Paprika - 1 teaspoon
  • Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
  • Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
  • Vegetable broth - 1/2 cup
  • Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped (for garnish)
  • Breadcrumbs - 2 tablespoons (optional, for topping)

Steps

  1. Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Stir in the diced sweet potato, zucchini, red bell pepper, and carrot. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the vegetables slightly soften.
  4. Add the cooked chickpeas, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Mix well to combine and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
  5. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Allow it to cook for 5 minutes until the broth reduces slightly.
  6. Transfer the mixture to a small casserole dish. If using, sprinkle breadcrumbs evenly over the top for a crunchy texture.
  7. Cover the casserole with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the top is golden brown.
  8. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
