Moroccan Chickpea Stew

view all recipes


This flavor-packed stew is so hearty and satisfying: the sweet potatoes get tender and creamy, the chickpeas soak up all those gorgeous Moroccan-inspired spices, and everything comes together in one pot.

I love serving this stew with quinoa for a tasty plant based dinner that’s also gluten free. If you like, a dollop of Greek yogurt: and most definitely a squeeze of lemon to brighten the flavors!
