If you haven't made it yet, prepare the Yumm Sauce according to the recipe (link in original recipe). It takes about 5 minutes to blend together.

Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C). On a baking sheet, combine the chopped sweet potatoes and drained, dried chickpeas. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss everything to coat evenly.

Add the red onion chunks to the same baking sheet with the sweet potatoes and chickpeas. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the sweet potatoes are soft and the chickpeas have a slight crispness.

While the vegetables are roasting, grate the raw red beet using a microplane or the small holes of a box grater. Set aside.

Bring water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add the pearl couscous, reduce heat to a simmer, and cook for about 10 minutes until tender. Fluff the cooked couscous with a fork, then stir in the grated beet, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.

Massage the chopped kale with your hands for a minute or two to tenderize it and make it less bitter.

Divide the massaged kale among four bowls. Top each with equal portions of the roasted vegetables and the vibrant pink beet couscous. Drizzle each bowl with Yumm Sauce before serving.
