Ingredients
  

  • Sweet potatoes peeled and cubed – 3 cups
  • Olive oil – 2 tbsp
  • Spinach chopped – 2 cups
  • Onion chopped – 1 medium
  • Garlic minced – 2 cloves
  • Chickpea flour – ½ cup
  • Unsweetened almond milk – 1 cup
  • Nutritional yeast – 2 tbsp
  • Black salt kala namak – ¼ tsp
  • Pepper – ¼ tsp
  • Salt – to taste
  • Paprika – ½ tsp
  • Vegan cheese optional – ½ cup

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and grease your baking dish like you mean business.
  2. Toss sweet potatoes with olive oil, paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a tray and roast for 20 minutes until golden.
  3. Meanwhile, sauté onion and garlic until fragrant — the neighbors should smell your ambition.
  4. Add spinach to the pan and cook until just wilted.
  5. In a bowl, whisk chickpea flour, almond milk, nutritional yeast, black salt, and a pinch of regular salt.
  6. Combine roasted potatoes, spinach mix, and chickpea blend in the baking dish.
  7. Stir lightly — not a soup, not a salad, just harmony.
  8. Sprinkle vegan cheese if you want extra flair.
  9. Bake for 35 minutes until firm and slightly crisp on top.
  10. Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing — patience is the secret seasoning here.
