Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Prep Sweet Potatoes

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Clean the sweet potatoes and prick them several times with a fork. Brush them with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 45 minutes, or until tender.

2
Prepare Chickpea Mixture

While the sweet potatoes are baking, rinse and drain the chickpeas. Dice the onion. Mince the garlic cloves.

3
Sauté Onion and Garlic

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

4
Add Chickpeas and Spices

To the skillet, add the chickpeas, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring often.

5
Incorporate Spinach

Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until the spinach has wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.

6
Stuff Sweet Potatoes

Once the sweet potatoes are baked and cooled slightly, slice them open lengthwise, being careful not to cut all the way through. Spoon the chickpea and spinach mixture into the sweet potatoes. Serve with lemon wedges for squeezing over the top.
