Instructions

1- Prepare Roasted Chickpeas:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C). Drain and rinse the chickpeas, then dry them thoroughly with paper towels.
• Spread the chickpeas on a gold non-stick baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt, garlic powder, and dried herbs. Grate Pecorino Romano cheese over the top.
• Roast in the oven for 25–30 minutes, or until crispy and golden.

2- Prepare Roasted Sweet Potatoes:

• Place diced sweet potatoes on the "Our Place" baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and cumin. Toss to coat evenly.
• Roast in the same oven for 25-30 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.

3- Prepare Chicken Meatballs:

• In a large white ceramic mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, egg, panko breadcrumbs, shallot, green onion, cilantro, lemon zest, salt, and pepper.
• Mix thoroughly by hand while wearing kitchen gloves. Using a cookie scoop, portion the mixture into meatballs and shape them into flat patties.

4- Cook Meatballs:

• Heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat with some olive oil. Place the meatballs in the skillet and cook until golden-brown on both sides and cooked through, flipping with tongs. Alternatively, bake them at 400°F (204°C) in the oven until cooked through.

5- Prepare Kale:

• Place fresh kale in a grey ceramic serving bowl. Drizzle with yogurt jalapeño dressing and massage gently to tenderize.

6- Assemble the Bowl:

• Add roasted sweet potatoes, parmesan roasted chickpeas, and cooked meatballs to the dressed kale. Drizzle with extra yogurt jalapeño dressing and garnish with fresh dill.
