Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • ½ cup chopped green olives
  • 15.5 ounces 1 can of chickpeas
  • 1 medium zucchini chopped
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon coriander
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 14.5 ounces 1 can of diced tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • ¾ cups water
  • Juice of 1 small lemon
  • 1 large sweet potato peeled and spiralized

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet with a lid over medium-high heat. Add onion and saute, uncovered, for 4-6 minutes or until slightly softened.
  • Stir in olives, chickpeas and zucchini. Sprinkle the mixture with cumin, coriander, cinnamon and black pepper and cook until the zucchini begins to soften, about 5-6 minutes.
  • Gently stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, water and lemon juice and bring to a simmer.
  • Place the spiralized sweet potato noodles on top of the mixture, and gently push it down to coat with liquid as much as possible. Cover and cook for about 6-8 minutes -- you want the sweet potato to become tender {al dente like well-cooked pasta}, but not mushy, or the "noodles" will break apart.
  • Carefully toss the noodles with the sauce to make sure everything is coated and distributed. Serve hot.
