  1. Preheat oven to 400°F and set the oven rack in the middle. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. With a fork, pierce each sweet potato’s skin 4-5 times (going about 1/2-inch deep).
  3. Place potato on a baking sheet. Bake for 45-60 minutes, or potatoes are fork tender and just beginning to caramelize. Remove from heat.
  4. Slice each potato lengthwise down its center (cutting about 2 inches deep), then press in on their ends to open them up. Fill each potato with equal amounts chickpeas, hummus, tabbouleh, olives, and lemon juice. Season to taste and serve.
