Chef's Tips
- Can substitute one small butternut squash for the two sweet potatoes, if desired.
- Top this dish with chopped cilantro, basil, or green onions for even more color and flavor!
- Nutrition facts are calculated using garbanzo beans and 1/2 cup of cooked rice. Reduce the sodium with low-sodium soy sauce.
