Sweet Potato Yogurt Bowls
Cumin-roasted sweet potato and chickpeas meet a cool lemon-yogurt topping in these warm bowls. It is a useful dinner when you have oven time but want little work at the stove. Start the wedges first and add the cooked chickpeas later, as directed, so the potato has time to soften without drying out the beans.

FDA handling and storage conditions
Ingredient substitution
Keep plain yogurt for the cold sauce and add it after roasting. Milk is too thin to behave as this topping, while a sweetened yogurt changes the cumin-lemon balance.
