Chickpea and Sweet Potato Bake
With its Middle Eastern inspiration, this dish is way more than just a boring vegetarian dinner. The dish consists of sweet potato, eggplant, bell pepper, and zucchini, cooked into the oven in rich tomato sauce. To balance the acidity of the tomato sauce, we’ve also added some dried apricots, which also bring their sweet flavor.
