Culinary observations
The first time I made this dish, it was one of those weeknights where I needed something that felt healthy but didn’t taste like it. You know the vibe. I had a sweet potato staring me down on the counter, a bag of za’atar and just enough motivation to throw it all on a sheet pan. Then something magical happened.
This hearty bowl checks every box: it features za’atar roasted sweet potatoes for an herby, citrusy kick, protein-packed crunchy chickpeas, kale, cucumbers, avocado and pomegranate seeds for a meal that's as delicious as it is nutritious. A tangy, creamy tahini dressing pulls it all together like a well-seasoned culinary glue. Oh, and there’s chicken because…protein!
Get Ingredients: If you don’t have everything you need on hand, you can easily purchase all of the ingredients (just click the orange button below that says ‘Get Ingredients’). You can pick and choose exactly what ingredients you need based on what’s in your pantry and they’ll be on your doorstep before you know it.
Technique Tips: Experiment with sweet potato varieties! Purple sweet potatoes (a blue zone favorite) add extra nutrients and a gorgeous hue.
Tahini tends to thicken initially before it becomes thinner. Take your time and gradually incorporate water, bit by bit, until you reach the dressing consistency you want.
Combine all ingredients in a single bowl — potatoes, chickpeas, and chicken — to simplify your cooking process and allow the flavors to meld beautifully throughout the meal.
Swap Options: This recipe can easily be made vegan or pescatarian by swapping the chicken for tofu or salmon.
