    No, we're not stuffing a vegan into a sweet potato. These healthy and delicious sweet spuds are stuffed with protein rich spiced chickpeas and topped with a creamy avocado and tahini dollop. No vegans were harmed in the stuffing of these spuds.

    If you are looking for an easy, healthy and totally satisfying lunch or dinner idea, you'll love these chickpea stuffed sweet potatoes. Fresh and zingy with the goodness of sweet potato, chickpeas, avocado and tahini this zesty dish is super healthy and so, so delicious.

    Why We Love Sweet Potaotes

    Sweet potatoes are a great all-rounder. Growing up we never ate them - we were starchy white potato people, thanks very much - but these days sweet potatoes are on regular rotation.

    I use them to make my Simple Sweet Potato Toast Recipes. I even use them to turbo charge my sweet tooth in an Easy Sweet Potato Chocolate Fudge Squares. Is there nothing the sweet potato can do?

    Long story short, sweet potatoes are fantastically versatile and excellent for you. They are a wonderful source of the antioxidant beta carotene (like carrots!), are high in fibre and are a good source of Vitamin C. Vitamin C aids in iron absorption - a good nugget us vegans should remember.

    Besides all that, sweet potatoes are de-licious. These chickpea stuffed sweet potatoes are delicious x 10.

    First we take a lovely golden potato and roast it in it's skin until it's soft and creamy inside.

    Next we take chickpeas and take them for a dip in a fresh and herby bath. We'll add ripe tomatoes for texture and punch. Finally, a creamy avocado and tahini sauce dollop brings the whole thing together.

    The awesome thing is that all these elements will come together while the potatoes are roasting.

    How to Make Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

    While the potatoes are roasting combine the chickpea ingredients in a bowl, give them quick stir and set aside (Images 2 - 4).

    To finish, slice the perfectly cooked sweet potatoes (Image 6), spoon in the chickpea mix (Image 7) and finish with a dollop of that gorgeous sauce as big as your head (Image 8).

    And voila. Zesty chickpea stuffed sweet potatoes - enough to serve 4 - 6 people - in around 50 minutes. I do love it when things comes together so fuss-free. Whether cooking for one of for a bunch of hungry mouths, this is a wonderfully nutritious and tasty, quick meal to have on your rotation. Enjoy, x.

    Faq's

    I don't have fresh herbs. Can I use dried?

    You can. Dried herbs are more potent so a general rule of thumb is 1 teaspoon of dried herbs for every tablespoon of fresh herbs. Here you'd use 1 teaspoon of dried oregano and 1 teaspoon of dried dill.

    How long with these stuffed sweet potatoes keep in the fridge?

    If I refrigerate these, I keep the elements separate. They will keep for up to 3 days but the avocado-tahini will brown. Avocado oxidises quickly and becomes a little bitter.

    Instructions

    To Prepare the Sweet Potaotes
