How to make Stuffed Sweet Potatoes with Curried Chickpeas and Mushrooms

Preheat oven to 232°C. Toss chickpeas, mushrooms, curry powder, cumin, 2 tablespoons oil, and 3/4 teaspoons salt on a rimmed baking sheet. Divide mushrooms and chickpeas into separate piles and spread in a single layer.

Cut potatoes in half lengthwise. Rub with 1 tablespoon oil and 1/2 teaspoons salt and transfer cut side down to another rimmed baking sheet.

Roast vegetables and potatoes, rotating pans halfway through and arranging spinach over vegetables during the last 2 minutes of cooking, until chickpeas are golden brown and crisp and potatoes are fork-tender, about 25 minutes.

Meanwhile, juice limes to yield 90ml juice. Blend yoghurt, 60ml lime juice, and 1/2 cup chopped coriander in a blender until smooth.

Transfer spinach, mushrooms, and chickpeas to separate bowls. Transfer potatoes to a serving platter. Using the back of a spoon, gently push down in centre of potato halves to create a divot.

Spoon vegetables into divots, then top with yoghurt sauce and coriander leaves.

Potatoes, chickpeas, and mushrooms can be cooked 3 days ahead; store separately, cover, and chill. Reheat in oven before serving.
