Instructions
Preheat the oven to 395F / 200C / 180C fan forced. Line a baking tray with baking paper to minimise washing up.
Wash the sweet potatoes, scrubbing the skins well. Cut into rounds about 1/2 inch (1.25cm) wide.
In a large bowl, combine the oil salt, paprika, cumin, garlic powder pepper and cayenne. Stir to a paste.
Set aside 1 heaped teaspoon of the paste, then add the potatoes to the large bowl. Mix well to coat.
Lay the potato slices out on the baking tray in a single layer. Bake for 20 minutes.
While the potatoes roast, add the chickpeas and remaining spice paste to the same bowl and give it a good mix to coat.
After 20 minutes, add the chickpeas to the baking tray and roast for a further 15 minutes.
Mix together the yoghurt, mint and vinegar and transfer to a small bowl to serve with the salad.
Place the spinach in a serving bowl. Top with the roasted potatoes and chickpeas.
Notes
I use a standard Australian 20ml tablespoon (equal to 4 teaspoons)
You can peel the potatoes if you prefer.
