METHOD:
Preheat the oven to 220C. Line a baking tray with greaseproof paper and lightly grease.
Cut the sweet potato in half then into quarter wedges. Season with a little salt and pepper and place face down on the tray and into the oven to roast for 45 minutes.
In a bowl, combine the chickpeas and the spices. Add to the sweet potato tray for the last 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare the chimichurri. Place all the ingredients into a food processor and pulse until thick and chunky. Taste and adjust seasoning to preference.
Make the courgetti and lightly steam for 2 minutes to soften. Combine the courgetti with ½ the chimichurri in a bowl and place to one side.
Finally make the salsa by chopping all the ingredients and tossing together in a small bowl.
Once all the elements are cooked/ prepared, divide into 2 bowls and serve with a handful of spinach, pumpkin seeds, extra coriander and parsley, the rest of the chimichurri and a dash of cayenne pepper.
