Tips and substitutions to know in advance

• For a meat-free version, omit the sausage and double the chickpeas
• If using raw sausage, ensure sausage is thawed (if applicable) for this recipe
• Sweet potato pieces can be cut large with a longer cooking time or small with more chopping time and less overall cooking. Whatever size works best for you will work with this recipe, just plan for longer cooking time for larger pieces!
