  • 2 T. maple syrup
  • 1/2 t. salt
  • 1/4 c. water
  • 2 T. olive oil

  • 15 oz. can diced tomatoes
  • 15 oz can chickpeas, drained

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  2. To make the sauce: In a small mixing bowl or measuring cup, combine coconut milk, peanut butter, maple syrup, water and salt.
  3. To make the vegetables: In a 9×11 or a similar size baking dish, add the olive oil and spread evenly.
  4. Add onion, garlic, and sweet potatoes to the baking dish. Mix well.
  5. Mix the curry and ginger and sprinkle over veggies.
  6. Top the mixture with the canned tomatoes and chickpeas.
  7. Pour the coconut mixture over the vegetables and mix well.
  8. Bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes or until sweet potatoes are tender.
