Sweet Potato Chickpea Hash Recipe
Looking for an exciting and new addition to your meals?
Look no further! Let me introduce you to this Sweet Potato Chickpea hash recipe! This satisfying side dish or entrée combines the earthy flavors of sweet potatoes, sautéed onions, and bell peppers with the protein-packed goodness of chickpeas. I love this Mediterranean-inspired recipe because it’s packed with plant-based protein from chickpeas. Sweet potatoes form the base of our hash and are a fibre-rich source of complex carbohydrates. Fiber supports digestion, overall gut health and, when paired with protein, helps you feel full and satisfied.
