Ingredients:

Place sweet potatoes on one of the prepared trays and bake for 50-55 minutes, turning halfway through cooking time, or until potatoes are tender. Set potatoes aside to cool for 5 minutes. Place chickpeas on second prepared tray, lightly spray with oil and scatter over the smoked paprika. Roast chickpeas for last 18 minutes of cooking the potatoes until golden and crisp.
  2. Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Cook onion, stirring, for 6-7 minutes or until light golden. Add vinegar and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes or until caramelised. Add garlic and zest and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes or until fragrant.
