Ingredients
  

  • 4 medium sweet potatoes scrubbed clean
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 can (15-ounce) chickpeas rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1/2 cup diced cucumber
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 1/4 cup Kalamata olives halved
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 2-4 tbsp water to thin
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Equipment

  • 1 Baking Sheet
  • 2 Mixing Bowls

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pierce sweet potatoes with a fork, rub with olive oil and salt, and place on a baking sheet.
  2. Roast for 45-55 minutes, until tender.
  3. While the potatoes roast, combine chickpeas, tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, Kalamata olives, and feta in a bowl. Toss gently.
  4. In another small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, and garlic. Slowly add water until the sauce is smooth and pourable. Season with salt.
  5. Once potatoes are cooked, slice them open lengthwise. Fluff the insides with a fork. Spoon the chickpea filling into each potato, drizzle with tahini sauce, and garnish with fresh parsley.
