01 - 60 grams arugula or other salad greens
02 - 75 grams sweet potato, diced
03 - 125 grams chickpeas, rinsed, drained, and dried
04 - 1 tablespoon sunflower seeds
05 - 1 tablespoon dried cranberries
06 - 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

10 - 1 tablespoon tahini
11 - 1 tablespoon lemon juice
12 - 1 teaspoon maple syrup
13 - 30 milliliters water, plus more if needed

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Preheat the oven to 218 °C (425 °F). Drain, rinse, and pat dry the chickpeas. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
02 - Dice the sweet potato into bite-sized pieces and add to the same baking sheet with the chickpeas.
03 - Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil over the chickpeas and sweet potatoes. Sprinkle garlic powder and smoked paprika evenly, then toss to coat. Roast for 20 minutes until tender and lightly browned.
04 - In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, tahini, lemon juice, and maple syrup until a thick paste forms. Gradually add water while whisking until the dressing is smooth and pourable.
05 - Combine arugula, roasted chickpeas, and sweet potatoes in a bowl. Add sunflower seeds and dried cranberries. Toss with the prepared dressing and serve immediately.

# Handy Tips:

01 - For crispier chickpeas, pat them very dry before roasting and spread them in a single layer.
