Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prick each sweet potato several times with a fork.
- Place the sweet potatoes on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 40-50 minutes, or until fork-tender.
- While they are baking, in a large bowl, combine the chickpeas, halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, finely diced red onion, sliced Kalamata olives, crumbled feta cheese, and chopped parsley. Add mint if you’re feeling adventurous.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Pour the dressing over your filling mixture and toss gently to ensure everything is coated. Taste and adjust the seasonings to your liking!
- Once the sweet potatoes are done, let them cool slightly. Then slice them lengthwise and fluff the insides with a fork.
- Generously fill each sweet potato half with your Mediterranean mixture. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
These stuffed sweet potatoes can be served on a bed of arugula or with a cool yogurt sauce or tzatziki. They make excellent meal prep options.
