Cooking Steps
Preheat the oven to 450 F. Start preparing the recipe when the oven is ready! Read the entire recipe card. Peel and cut sweet potato into 1/2-inch pieces. Prepare a parchment-lined baking sheet. Drain and rinse chickpeas, then pat dry with paper towels. To a large bowl, add chickpeas, sweet potatoes, Middle Eastern Spice Blend and 1 1/2 tbsp oil (double for 4 portions). Season with salt and pepper, then toss well to coat. To the prepared baking sheet, add chickpeas and sweet potatoes. Arrange in a single layer. Bake on the middle rack of oven for 16-18 min, until sweet potatoes are tender and chickpeas are crisp.
Meanwhile, wash and dry all remaining produce. Finely chop parsley. Peel and mince or grate garlic (use 8 cloves for 4 portions). Zest and juice half the lemon. Cut remaining lemon into wedges. Halve tomatoes.
To a medium pot, add 3/4 cup water (double for 4 portions). Season with salt and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, add couscous. Remove pot from heat, cover and set aside, for 5 min, to rehydrate. Add 2 tsp oil (double for 4 portions), then fluff couscous with a fork.
In a medium bowl, mix mayonnaise, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1/2 tsp garlic (refer to Chef's Tip for garlic guide) and 1 tsp water (double all for 4 portions). Season with salt.
To couscous, add feta, parsley, tomatoes, remaining garlic, lemon zest, remaining lemon juice and 1 tbsp oil (double for 4 portions). Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine. Serve tabbouleh with chickpeas and sweet potatoes over top. Drizzle with garlic sauce and sprinkle over pepitas. Squeeze over a lemon wedge, to taste. Enjoy!
