Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Cooking
- Roast the sweet potatoes in the oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized. Stir halfway through for even cooking.

- In a separate skillet, add the drained chickpeas. Cook over medium heat until warmed through, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in a sprinkle of cumin and paprika for extra flavor.
Combining
- Once the sweet potatoes are done, combine them with the warm chickpeas. Drizzle the tahini sauce over the top and gently toss to combine everything evenly.
- Serve the dish warm, garnished with fresh herbs and lemon wedges on the side for added brightness.
