Salad · Mediterranean-style
Crisp-edged sweet potato, chickpeas, and peppery greens make a filling lunch. A lemon-tahini dressing brings it together without weighing it down.
Amounts scale with servings. Pan size and cooking time may need adjusting for larger batches.
Heat the oven to 425°F. Toss sweet potato and well-dried chickpeas with oil, cumin, and salt on a large rimmed baking sheet. Spread into a single layer.
Roast for 25 minutes, turning once, until the potato is tender and browned at the edges. Let cool for 5 minutes.
Whisk tahini, lemon juice, and water in a small bowl. The mixture may thicken at first; keep whisking and add another splash of water if needed.
Divide arugula among bowls, add the roasted mixture, and drizzle with dressing just before serving.
Give the vegetables space. Crowding the tray steams the potatoes instead of browning them.
Keep greens and dressing separate when packing lunch.
Baby spinach can replace arugula.
For a sesame-free dressing, use olive oil and lemon juice instead of tahini.
