Air Fryer Sweet Potato & Chickpea Curry

I just love the colour of sweet potatoes no matter how they are cooked, they are just so vibrant. I use frozen sweet potatoes for this curry, but you can of course use fresh ones if you prefer. The same goes for the spinach, if you don’t have fresh then pop in some nuggets of frozen spinach and add a little more cooking time.

Step 1

Start by making your curry spice mix by combining all of the ingredients in a bowl and stirring well. Then set aside

Step 2

Pop your frozen sweet potato chunks in a bowl, add the olive oil and stir well.

Step 3

Set your air fryer to 200c, tip your potatoes into the air fryer basket and cook for about 7 minutes, until they start to soften.

Step 4

Add the onion and stir in, then give them both another 8 minutes, until the sweet potatoes are beginning to brown at the edges.

Step 5

Once the 15 minutes are up, carefully remove the crisper plate with tongs, leaving the veg in the basket.

Step 6

Then add your spice mix, tinned tomatoes, chickpeas and coconut milk.

Step 7

Stir together then set your air fryer to 190c and cook for a further 12 to 15 minutes until the sauce thickens.

Step 8

Meanwhile roughly chop the spinach then add to the basket and stir well.

Step 9

Make sure the spinach is submerged in the curry sauce as much as possible.

Step 10

Cook for a further 5 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally until the spinach has wilted into the sauce.

Step 11

While the curry finishes cooking, heat the rice in the microwave per the packet instructions.

Step 12

Season the curry with salt and pepper then serve with the rice and a sprinkle of fresh coriander leaves and red chilli slices.
