This is one of my favorite go to meals when I want something satisfying and wholesome without spending ages in the kitchen. Fluffy baked sweet potatoes topped with a fragrant chickpea curry is comfort food at its finest, and honestly, it costs next to nothing to make. Sweet potatoes are packed with vitamin A which is brilliant for your skin and eyes, plus they're naturally sweet so they pair beautifully with the warming spices. The whole thing comes together in under an hour, and most of that time is just letting the oven do the work for you. It's the kind of dish that tastes like you've spent all afternoon cooking when really you've barely broken a sweat.
