- 1 creamy-fleshed pumpkin such as kabocha or red kuri or buttercup (NOT butternut, which is too stringy for this recipe), seeded, peeled, and cut into 1⁄2-inch cubes
2. In a large pot, heat oil and harissa over medium heat. Once fragrant, add squash, onion and garlic; sauté for 8 minutes. Add chickpeas, 2 cups water, orange juice and season with salt. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover and cook, stirring once or twice, for 15 minutes, until squash is tender. Add additional water if a thinner consistency is desired. Adjust seasoning.
 
3. Meanwhile, on a large rimmed baking sheet or two medium baking sheet, massage kale with oil and salt. Spread into a single layer (no layering, or they will not crisp). Roast for 5 minutes, toss, roast for 5 more minutes, toss, and roast for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, or until all chips are fully crisped. Turn off oven and leave oven door ajar with kale chips up to 15 minutes (optional; this ensures they’re very dry if making ahead).
 
4. To serve, ladle stew into bowls and garnish with a mound of kale chips. Enjoy immediately.
