Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 1 (14 oz) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- ½ English cucumber, diced
- 2 roma tomatoes, diced
- ¼ cup kalamata olives, chopped
- ¼ cup roasted red peppers, diced
- ¼ cup marinated artichokes, chopped
- Juice of ½ lemon
- Splash of olive oil
- ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
- ¼ tsp oregano
- ¼ tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Rinse and scrub the sweet potatoes, then pierce each one several times with a fork. Place on a baking sheet and bake 45–60 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.
- Toss chickpeas with olive oil and seasonings (garlic powder, cayenne, oregano, and salt). Spread on a lined baking sheet and roast about 20 minutes until golden and slightly crispy, flipping halfway.
- Dice the cucumber, tomatoes, olives, roasted red peppers, and artichokes into small pieces.
- In a bowl, combine diced vegetables with a splash of olive oil, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Chill briefly in the fridge to let flavors meld.
- When the sweet potatoes are done, cool slightly. Slice each open lengthwise and gently push the insides to create a pocket for filling.
- Fill each sweet potato with the Mediterranean vegetable mixture, top with roasted chickpeas, and sprinkle with crumbled feta.
- Serve warm. Optional: add a tahini or yogurt drizzle for extra flavor.
