Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium sweet potatoes
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup cucumber, diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
  • 2 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh mint, chopped (optional)
  • 1 cup canned chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 1/4 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
  • 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled

Instructions

1. 1. Preheat your oven to 400°F. Pierce the sweet potatoes with a fork and place them on a baking sheet. Bake for 45–60 minutes, until they’re tender and easily pierced with a fork.

2. 2. In a medium bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, parsley, mint (if using), chickpeas, olives, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together until well combined.

3. 3. Once the sweet potatoes have finished baking, cut a slit in each one and gently mash the insides. Spoon the flavorful chickpea-vegetable mixture into the center of each potato.

4. 4. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the top of the stuffed sweet potatoes.

5. 5. Serve the Mediterranean Stuffed Sweet Potatoes warm, either as a main dish or a delightful side. Savor the blend of sweet, tangy, and savory flavors in every bite.

Notes

For a vegan or vegetarian version, simply omit the feta cheese or substitute it with your favorite plant-based cheese alternative.
