Sweet Potato Curry with Chickpeas

8 servings

This week’s recipe is from my friend Anjali at The Picky Eater. It’s a warm, spicy curry full of comforting, detoxifying spices. Spinach has been shown to support cognition thanks to its high content of vitamin K and folate, while sweet potatoes pack a ton of immune boosting beta-carotene. And, curry powder is another perfect example of “food as medicine”; it’s a combination of beneficial spices including turmeric, which is a powerful anti-inflammatory that can also fight dangerous plaques and free radicals specifically within the brain.
