Inspired by North African flavors, this Moroccan chickpea stew is packed with warm spices and hearty ingredients. The sweetness of the potatoes complements the earthy chickpeas, while fresh spinach adds a pop of color and nutrients. Cinnamon, cumin, and paprika give this stew an aromatic, complex flavor profile, making each bite exciting. Serve it with a side of couscous or crusty bread, and you’ve got a nourishing, plant-based meal perfect for cold days or meal-prep sessions.
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and diced carrot. Sauté until onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the cubed sweet potatoes, canned chickpeas, and tomato paste.
Add vegetable broth, cinnamon, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender.
Add the fresh spinach and cook for another 5 minutes until wilted.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve warm with couscous or bread.
