Quick Pickled Red Onion:

Method

Crispy Spiced Chickpea: Position racks in top and bottom thirds of oven; preheat to 425°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. On 1 prepared pan, toss chickpeas with oil to coat. Arrange in single layer; bake in top third of oven, stirring halfway through, until crisp, about 45 minutes.

Stir together garam masala, cayenne pepper and salt; sprinkle over chickpeas and stir to coat. Return to oven; bake for 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, brush cut sides of sweet potatoes with oil. Arrange, cut side down, on remaining prepared pan. Bake in bottom third of oven until centres are fork-tender, about 30 minutes. Transfer to serving platter, cut side up; sprinkle with salt.

Quick Pickled Red Onion: Meanwhile, in small saucepan, bring vinegar, sugar, salt and 1/4 cup water to boil over high heat. Remove from heat; add red onion. Let stand for 10 minutes. Let cool slightly. 

Assembly: Spoon yogurt onto sweet potatoes; top with Quick Pickled Red Onion and Crispy Spiced Chickpeas. Sprinkle with cilantro (if using).

Test Kitchen Make-Ahead: Refrigerate the pickled onion for up to five days.
