Moroccan Hasselback Sweet Potatoes & Chickpeas

We love the ‘hasselback’ method when roasting root vegetables, the thin slices allow seasoning to get right inside while baking with extra crispy edges. We’ve added our Super Ras el Hanout which goes perfectly with sweet potato, chickpeas and fresh herbs. This is a great accompaniment to barbecued sumac lamb fillets or had simply as a vegetarian meal with salad.
