While the sweet potatoes are baking mix together the chickpeas, olive oil, paprika and curry powder, along with a pinch of salt or pepper to taste, in a bowl. Spread the mixture across a tray lined with baking paper and roast for about 15 minutes.

Once baked toss the roasted chickpeas through the rice, taste and adjust seasoning to your preference.

Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven once they are baked, and cut in half lengthways. Take out about 2-3 tablespoons of the sweet potato to create a space for the stuffing. Mix the sweet potato you've removed with half of the rice and chickpea mixture, and replace into the vegetable. Top with the rest of the rice and chickpea mixture, and garnish with chives.
