How to Prepare Roasted Chickpea Stuffed Sweet Potatoes With Tahini Sauce [Vegan]

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F, and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  2. Prick holes into the sweet potatoes with a fork. Place onto the prepared baking sheet and bake 40 minutes to 1 hour, until the center of the potatoes are soft when pricked with a knife. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, prepare the roasted chickpeas and creamy tahini dressing.

To Make the Oven Roasted Chickpeas:

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl until the chickpeas are evenly coated with the flavorings.
  3. Spread evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, and roast 35-40 minutes, until crisp and golden, tossing a few times during baking to prevent uneven browning.

To Make the Creamy Tahini Sauce:

  1. Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and whisk until creamy. Enjoy!

To Assemble:

  1. Slice the potatoes down the center, almost to the bottom but not all the way through. Stuff each sweet potato with the roasted chickpeas and any other veggies of choice. Top with fresh herbs and creamy tahini sauce. Serve and enjoy!

  1. Only a 25 degree difference and the same cooking time? seems like something could be arranged so everything is ready at the same time. Looks good otherwise, super simple!
