Coconut smashed chickpeas with sweet potato skins

By Hannah Lewry

Serves 4

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 15 minutes

Cooking Time 15 minutes

Ingredients

6 large sweet potatoes, washed
4 T olive oil
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 x 400 g chickpeas cans, drained
4 purple spring onions, sliced
2 limes, zested
1 t ground cumin
1 t ground coriander
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
1⁄2 cup coconut milk

Method

Preheat the oven to 200°C. Using a small sharp knife, carefully peel the sweet potatoes to make potato skin chips, toss with 1 T olive oil, then arrange on a baking tray. Sprinkle with salt to taste and bake for 15 minutes, or until light golden.

Place the remaining ingredients except the coconut milk in a blender and blend coarsely, then add the coconut milk, a little at a time. Season to taste and serve the potato skins with the coconut smashed chickpeas for dipping.

Cook's note: Keep the sweet potato flesh in water and use to make mash.
