This is another one of the first recipes recipes I learned going vegan and ate on repeat! This recipe is so simple and delicious for dinner or lunches. When I first heard sweet potatoes, brussels, and bbq sauce I was a little skeptical but now it is one of my favorite meals ever! Seriously if I go more than a month without making this I get some hardcore cravings.
This recipe can feed a family of for for dinner or makes a good meal prep for lunches all week, hope you enjoy!
Ingredients/ shopping list:
- 1 can chickpeas

Optional for a quick vegan ranch:
- 1 cup vegan mayo
- 1 tsp dill

Cooking Instructions:
Step 1.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Chop your sweet potatoes and brussels and lay on oven sheet. Drain and rinse your chickpeas and add those to your baking sheet as well. Drizzle olive oil over your chickpeas and veggies and season with salt and pepper.
Step 2.
While that bakes, chop your kale and sautee with olive oil until softened.
Step 3. *Optional*
To make this optional ranch dressing to top off your meal, mix in a medium sized bowl the following ingredients and stir until smooth: 1 cup vegan mayo, 1 tsp dill, 1 tsp parsley, 2 tsp onion powder, 2 tsp garlic powder, salt and pepper, and 2 tbs non diary milk.
Step 4.
Your veggies and chickpeas will cook for about 40 minutes, sometimes they need a bit longer depending on how much you make. Normally I cook mine for 40 mins, drixxle with BBQ sauce, and put back in for 5 minutes.

Cook your rice separately ad put your bowl together!
