Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This vegetarian lunch sweet potato chickpea sandwich is full of veggies and offers plenty of protein from the chickpeas. I love using this sweet potato chickpea spread on sandwiches.  It’s a lot like hummus, but with a lighter, fluffier texture, and is a recipe from my Baby Food Cookbook.

Easy and delicious sweet potato chickpea sandwich

Lately, the with the twins eating more and more, I’m cooking all the time for them from my Baby Food Cookbook (even though I literally wrote the cookbook, I guess mom brain over here, because I forgot how many amazing recipes the book has and how much good advice is in it (like how to transition from purees to solids or different recipes and ideas!)

The best vegetarian sweet potato and chickpea sandwich

Did you know that my Baby Food Maker cookbook has recipes that range from babies to adults?  That is one of the things I love about it.  Not only can you make healthy foods for your babies, but you can make something as delicious as a sweet potato chickpea sandwich for the toddlers and adults in your house (yay for family friendly recipes)!

The best sweet potato chickpea sandwich spread

I make a batch of this chickpea sweet potato spread and serve it to the babies on some little pieces of bread, and then make a sandwich for myself and Ben (my toddler). Seriously, this is one of my favorite recipes from the book! I say that about a lot of the recipes, because there are so so many awesome recipes that are awesome for baby, but also for adults (I have a whole section for ‘beyond baby’ where I share how to make child friendly recipes beyond baby food, or in the book I’ll mention how to make kid and adult friendly recipes out of baby food purees -like when I share how to make sweet potato pancakes out of sweet potato puree.

The most delicious sweet potato veggie sandwich

This spread is a great vegetarian meal option that still offers plenty of protein because of the chickpeas.  I love using this spread on sandwiches.  It’s a lot like hummus, but with a lighter, fluffier texture.

If you don’t want it on a sandwich, you can absolutely treat it like a hummus and enjoy it with vegetables or pitas to dip in.

This sweet potato chickpea spread is perfect for a picnic or quick lunch.  I also love to use these things to fill a wrap.  Just put the following things in a tortilla and you’re good to go!

  • Spinach
  • Bell Peppers

    All. I can say is you are full of love…passing it around. Blessing to your family, nothing you do I do not love. The children are adorable, smart, enjoy them, they are your priority. I can say from having one son, having a child is the most unselfish thing you will ever do in life.
    god bless

      Hi – do you cube the sweet potatoes before cooking? I am guessing that the answer is yes but I want to make sure.

        Great question! The answer is yes. I’ll clarify in the recipe card – you peel and cube the sweet potatoes before cooking!

I used to be 🤢 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
They sounded kinda gross if you asked me. Canned fish? No thank you. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Then I was part of a cookbook club (remember social activities.. 😭) and I cooked a recipe with anchovy breadcrumbs. It completely changed my perspective and thoughts on them as an ingredient. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Now whenever I encounter someone who is team ♥️ I rave and rave at them about miraculous anchovy breadcrumbs. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
They’re awesome on roasted cauliflower or on pasta 😘

So I gotta know? Are you team anchovies ♥️ or 🤢?!?
