  1. Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced. Line 2 baking trays with baking paper. 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. Add spinach and cook, stirring, until spinach is just wilted. Stir through craisins and season with salt and pepper.
  3. Make a long cut along the top of each potato. Gently separate sides and use a fork to lightly mash flesh. Spoon one quarter of the filling into each potato. Top with crispy chickpeas, then drizzle with the Celebrate Health Vegan Gravy. Scatter with coriander before serving.
