  1. Preheat the oven to 240C / fan 220C / gas mark 9. Cut the sweet potato into 2cm cubes (peel optional). Place onto a lined baking tray with 1 tsp oil, a pinch of sea salt and black pepper. Roast for 20-25 mins.
  2. Trim the broccoli. In the final 8-10 mins, add the broccoli to the tray with 1 tsp oil and a pinch of sea salt. Continue roasting until the veg is soft and golden brown.
  3. Halve the tomatoes. Finely chop or crush the garlic. Roughly chop the parsley. Drain and rinse the chickpeas. Halve the pomegranate, then remove the seeds. Zest half the lime.
  4. Heat a medium frying on medium-high heat. Add the cumin seeds and toast for 1 minute, stirring frequently, until fragrant. Remove from the pan and place in a bowl with the lime zest and juice, half the parsley, 1 tbsp olive oil and a pinch of sea salt. Set aside.
  5. Reheat the frying pan with 1 tsp oil on high heat. Add the chickpeas, cook for 3 mins, then add the garlic and paprika. Stir well then add the tomatoes, tomato paste and 100ml water. Simmer for 2-3 mins, until the sauce has thickened and tomatoes softened. Remove from the heat and stir in the remaining parsley and season with sea salt to taste.
  6. Serve the chickpeas with broccoli and sweet potatoes. Garnish with parsley dressing and pomegranate.
