Recipe Card
ingredients
- 3 large sweet potatoes, washed and dried
- 3 tabelspoons neutral oil
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, coarsely ground
- 1 (15.5-ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup kale, stems removed and chopped
Tahini Sauce
ingredients

- 1/2 lemon, seeded and juiced
- 2 tablespoons water
Mashed Avocado

Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Step 2
Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place the sweet potatoes on the sheet and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of oil, until completely coated. Bake for 40 minutes or until easily pierced with a fork, flipping halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Step 3
Heat a medium pan over medium heat with remaining tablespoon of oil. Once hot, stir together chickpeas, cumin, garlic powder, and chili powder. Cook until the chickpeas are slightly browned and crispy, about 5 minutes. Add kale and cook until they start to wilt, 1-2 minutes.
Step 4
In a medium bowl, make the Tahini sauce. Combine tahini, garlic powder, salt, lemon and water and whisk until smooth and creamy.
Step 5
Remove sweet potatoes from the oven and split them open lengthwise. Allow to cool 3-5 minutes while mashing avocado. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit and scoop out the avocado and place it in a bowl. Using a fork mash the avocado until it is smooth.
Step 6
Stuff potato with spicy chickpeas and kale. Drizzle with tahini sauce and top with mashed avocado. Garnish with salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper (optional).
