Drain and rinse 2 cups of chickpeas. Preheat oven to 375 F. In a large bowl, combine onion, sweet potato, chickpeas, wild rice, spices and olive oil. Mix well so that the spices and oil are combined evenly. Spread onto a baking sheet that is large enough to keep the mixture relatively shallow for roasting. Bake the vegetables for 45 minutes.

While the mixture is cooking, be sure to rotate and mix the vegetables about every 15 minutes for even roasting.  Serve hot with a dollop sour cream (optional) and sprinkle with cilantro leaves.   Makes seven servings (1 cup each).
