- 1 Tbsp Maple Syrup
- 1 1/2 cups (1, 15oz can) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1 Lime, juiced

METHOD
- Roast Potatoes:
- Preheat oven to 450 °F.
- Line a baking sheet with silicon mat or parchment paper.
- Scrub, rinse, and shake dry sweet potatoes/yams. Place onto lined baking sheet and roast for about 50 minutes, turning halfway through. Roast plain – no oil needed.
- Pierce center with knife or fork to test doneness.
- Roast Brussels Sprouts:
- Once potatoes are baked, change oven heat to 425 °F.
- Trim Brussels sprouts (remove stems) and cut each one, lengthwise, into quarters.
- In a mixing bowl, toss Brussels with oil, salt, and pepper.
- Transfer to a lined baking sheet and roast for 10-12 minutes, or until Brussels are crispy on the edges.
- Remove from heat.
- Meanwhile, make curry and cook rice:
- For Curry:
- In a large pot over medium heat, sauté diced onion in coconut oil for about 5 minutes.
- Add ginger and garlic, and sauté for another minute, being careful not to burn the garlic.
- Pour in coconut milk, along with green curry paste, and stir until well-combined.
- Add chickpeas, and maple syrup.
- Reduce heat to low, partially cover, and let simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- After 15 minutes, stir in lime juice and let simmer for another minute or so.
- For Rice:
- Cook 2 cups dry rice according to directions.
- For Curry:
- Once potatoes and Brussels are roasted, the curry has simmered until it’s thick and creamy, and the rice is cooked, it’s time to serve.
- Cut roasted potatoes in half, transfer to a serving bowl along with rice, and top with curry and roasted Brussels sprouts.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro and few cashews, and enjoy.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
