    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 

    2. In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato, red bell pepper, and cauliflower florets with 1/8 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp pepper, and 1 tsp of olive oil.

    7. Reduce the heat to low and let the stew simmer uncovered for about 15–20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Stir occasionally. 

    8. Remove the roasted vegetables from the oven and add them to the pot. Stir gently to incorporate them into the stew. Serve the curried chickpea stew in bowls, garnished with fresh cilantro.

    Print Recipe >

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. To make the peach BBQ sauce:
      Heat 1 1/2 tsp oil in medium saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 2–3 minutes. Stir in peaches and cook for 5 minutes. Add ketchup, apple cider vinegar, 1/4 cup sweetener, Worcestershire sauce, 1/4 tsp salt, and garlic powder and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until peaches break down and sauce begins to thicken, about 10–15 minutes. Carefully transfer peach mixture to blender and blend until smooth, about 1 minute.

    2. To make the chicken:
      Heat grill to medium and brush grates with oil. Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Grill chicken, flipping occasionally and brushing with peach BBQ sauce until fully cooked and a meat thermometer reaches 165 degrees F, about 8–10 minutes. Transfer to plate and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

    3. To make the salad:
      Grill peach halves, cut side down, until char marks appear, about 1–2 minutes. Slice peach halves into ½-inch thick slices.

    4. Whisk 2 tbsp olive oil, lemon juice, 2 tsp sweetener, 1/8 tsp salt, and pepper together in large bowl until combined. Add grilled peach slices, arugula, and red onion and toss to coat. Serve grilled chicken with salad and enjoy.
