Instead of sweet potatoes, go with Russet or purple potatoes, or even celery root. Change chickpeas for a vegan meat alternative or another type of bean. the point is that this is a really great vegan recipe for people who don’t want to spend too much mental time on creating meals. Add herbs & seasoning and call it good.
