Warm spiced sweet potato salad with pistachios, root veggies, chickpeas, and a warming spice blend. Serve warm or chilled for an easy 1-pan meal! 

Warm Spiced Sweet Potato Salad with Pistachios

Hey, you, do you feel it?

…..

Spring is in the air!

With March just around the corner, I feel like we can finally embrace that flowery light at the end of the wintry tunnel, don’t you?

This Warm Spiced Sweet Potato Salad with Pistachios is the perfect way to welcome slightly warmer weather.

It’s bright, fresh, nourishing, and all comes together on 1-pan for an easy plant-based meal.

We start with cozy roasted root veggies, warming spices, and hearty chickpeas, and then end in a satisfying pistachio crunch.

Sound good?

Do you like pistachios?

My chemistry teacher in the 10th grade used to keep a jar of them in cabinet…right next to all of the lab equipment and chemicals we used in our labs.

Probably not the best spot for a snack.

When I stayed after school to get Chemistry help (Chem was the worst, right?), she’d take out the jar, crack open the shells, and munch on them absent-mindedly as we worked.

“Pistachio?” she’d offer, between bites, waving the jar in front of us with her spidery hands.

“No, thanks,” all the kids would say, expressions lingering somewhere between total disgust and amusement.

Maybe that’s why her hair was green.

But that’s another story.

I always forget about pistachios, quite possibly because they remind me of my Chemistry horrors.

They’re a different kind of nut, and I love their bright green color and rich nutty flavor.

I love using Eden Foods Organic Pistachios as the garnish to this gorgeous salad!

They’re already shelled and lightly salted for you, so they taste amazing straight from the package.

No Chemistry experiments required.

If you’ve had a scarring pistachio experience, too, or don’t have any pistachios in your cabinet, try subbing slivered almonds instead.

Enjoy this Warm Spiced Sweet Potato Salad with Pistachios straight out of the oven or chilled, it’s really good both ways!

I love prepping a pan for the week because it’s extremely versatile and it keeps well in the fridge.

Check, check.

The warm spice blend of ginger, cinnamon, and cumin makes it simply irresistible.

The key to getting the best consistency and perfect bake-time is to chop the veggies very finely here– about 1/2″ cubes is what I recommend.

Unlike some meals where big chunks are welcome, you’ll appreciate the bite sized pieces here to promote even baking and get more of a uniform “salad” texture.

Throw it over greens if you’re craving more of a salad salad, or eat it as is for more of a buddha bowl style dish.

Description

Warm spiced sweet potato salad with pistachios, root veggies, chickpeas, and a warming spice blend. Serve warm or chilled for an easy 1-pan meal!


Ingredients

  • 1 15 oz can chickpeas, drained, rinsed, and patted dry
  • 3 large carrots, any color, peeled and diced into 1/2” chunks
  • 1 large or 2 small sweet potato, peeled and diced into 1/2” chunks
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced small
  • 1/2 white or yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp avocado oil (optional– if oil-free, omit)
  • pinch of powdered ginger
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • pinch of Himalayan sea salt.
  • 1 head cilantro, finely chopped
  • 3 TBSP Eden Foods Organic Pistachios, chopped
  • 1/2 lemon, squeezed
  • sprinkle of hemp hearts (optional for serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F and line and baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Wash and chop all vegetables, then add them to a large mixing bowl with the chickpeas, optional avocado oil, powdered ginger, cinnamon, cumin, and Himalayan sea salt.
  3. Mix everything well with your hands or a large spoon, then pour the mixture into an even layer on the baking sheet. To ensure even baking, you may need to use two baking sheets. You want the vegetables to have room to evenly bake, not overlapping, if possible.
  4. Bake the vegetables for 25-30 minutes, or until fork tender but not mushy, checking at the 25 minute mark.
  5. Remove the pan from the oven, allow it to cool slightly, then add to a large mixing bowl with the cilantro, chopped pistachios, and a big squeeze of lemon. Toss everything well to combine.
  6. Serve the salad warm or chilled with optional hemp hearts, if desired.
  7. Leftovers keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-5 days. Reheat before serving.
