Ingredients
Servings
6
- 1 medium sweet potato (about 1 cup mashed)
- 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/4 cup oat flour
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra for cooking
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
- Water as needed (up to 1/4 cup)
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Pierce the sweet potato several times with a fork and bake it directly on the oven rack for about 40 minutes, or until the sweet potato is soft. Alternatively, microwave the sweet potato for 6-8 minutes until tender, then allow it to cool.
-
In a food processor, combine the baked sweet potato flesh and drained chickpeas. Pulse a few times until the mixture is roughly combined but still has some texture.
-
Transfer the mixture to a large bowl. Add the whole wheat flour, oat flour, olive oil, ground cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and chopped fresh parsley if using. Stir the ingredients together until a dough forms. If the mixture feels too dry, add water one tablespoon at a time until it holds together without becoming sticky.
-
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion into a flatbread about 1/4 inch thick.
-
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and brush it lightly with olive oil. Cook each flatbread for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown spots appear and the bread is cooked through.
-
Serve warm, or let the flatbreads cool completely before storing them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. These make an ideal meal prep lunch or quick snack option.
-
Optional: Top the flatbreads with hummus, Greek yogurt, fresh salad, or your favorite Mediterranean-inspired toppings for added flavor and nutrition.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I meal prep Meal Prep Sweet Potato and Chickpea Flatbreads?
- Yes. Portion it into airtight containers and keep toppings, sauces, or crunchy finishes separate when that will protect the texture.
- How can I increase the protein?
- Add a little more chickpea or pair the recipe with a compatible high-protein side such as Greek yogurt, eggs, tofu, beans, or lean meat depending on the recipe style.
- Can I make it lighter?
- Use measured oil, lighter dairy or sauce options, and a larger vegetable portion while keeping the main protein amount steady.
- What should I watch when swapping ingredients?
- Keep moisture, salt, and cooking time in mind because high-protein swaps can dry out or firm up faster than the original ingredient.
Storage
Cool Meal Prep Sweet Potato and Chickpea Flatbreads before storing, refrigerate in airtight containers for up to 4 days, keep crisp toppings or fresh garnishes separate when useful, freeze only if the main ingredients tolerate thawing well, and reheat gently with a splash of liquid or a short oven, skillet, microwave, or air-fryer warm-up that matches the recipe texture.
