Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350ºF. Once heated, bake sweet potatoes on a sheet pan for about 45 minutes or until cooked through. Remove from oven and slice lengthwise, not cutting all the way through.

Over medium heat, sauté onion and garlic in olive oil until starting to brown. Add the rest of the vegetables and sauté for about 5 more minutes. Take off the heat and add spices.
Step 3
Put quinoa in a small sauce pan with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and let simmer until cooked, about 20 minutes.
Step 4
Mix quinoa with vegetables and stuff sweet potatoes. Mix yogurt with lemon juice, then use it to drizzle on top, along with fresh cilantro.
