There is something so satisfying and easy about throwing a sweet potato into the oven and building a great vegan dinner around it. You can stuff a sweet potato with ALL kinds of things, from grains, beans, sauteed vegetables and greens, chili, vegetable curry or any number of yummy vegan sauces.
I love how quick this version is-just roast the marinated chickpeas and mash up some avocado and you have a super quick and tasty stuffing, that’s high in healthy fats and protein, making this a nutritionally well rounded meal.
I was eating these chickpeas all week as a snack! I used canned chickpeas but you can cook them from dried chickpeas if you like.
