These delicious bites turned out better than I’d ever hoped. I’m really pleased with how tasty they are.

Original Recipe:

http://cheapeatsforthegreenbean.com/2014/08/03/sweet-potato-and-chickpea-bites/

I modified the recipe to include ingredients I already had on hand. I only had one sweet potato for instance, and I used Tarragon as a garnish instead of scallions as the recipe originally calls for.

Ingredients I used:

• 1 large sweet potato
• equal amount chickpeas as sweet potato (I used frozen, thawed)
• Kale, fine chopped
• Garlic
• Coconut Milk
• Coconut Oil
• Seasoning: paprika, cayenne, red chili flakes, curry powder, nutritional yeast, salt & pepper
• Fresh Herbs I used: Thyme & Tarragon

Directions:

1. Boil sweet potato & prepare chickpeas (frozen, thawed on stove)
2. Sautee garlic (briefly, until fragrant)
3. Add Kale and reduce heat to low, cover and steam (very briefly)
4. Season with: Paprika, cayenne, red chili flakes, curry powder
5. Add thawed chickpeas and stir well.
6. Combine in a large bowl with sweet potato mash, 3-4 tablespoons of coconut milk and nutritional yeast.
7. Add S & P and any additional seasonings. I added fresh Thyme and Tarragon from the garden.
8. Bake in a greased muffin tin (coconut oil works well for greasing) –  20 minutes at 450 degrees.

Voila !
