METHOD
Cook two medium sweet potatoes on 400 degrees for 45 minutes to one hour, or until soft and can be pierced with a fork. Once the potatoes are almost done, prepare the beans and topping mixture.
In a separate bowl, toss the garbanzo beans with olive oil and spices (paprika, salt, cumin, coriander, turmeric, and cayenne). Mix with a spoon until well-coated. Set aside.
Place the coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the red onion to the pan, and sauté until softened, approximately 4-6 minutes. Next, add the apple, garlic, and red pepper flakes and sauté for an additional 2-3 minutes. Toss the kale and a drop more coconut oil to the mix and sauté for 2-3 minutes until the kale is gently wilted. Add in the spiced chickpeas and mix for an additional minute until well-combined. Season with salt to taste. Slice open the warm sweet potatoes. Load up all the toppings, and drizzle with tahini or the tahini sauce, if desired.
