Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
  2. Prick each sweet potato several times with a fork and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 40-50 minutes, until fork-tender.
  3. While the sweet potatoes roast, chop your vegetables and combine chickpeas, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and olives in a mixing bowl.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and oregano. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture and gently toss until coated.
  6. Once roasted, cool sweet potatoes slightly and slice them open lengthwise, fluffing the insides with a fork.
  7. Stuff each sweet potato with the prepared filling, ensuring each one is bursting with flavor.
  8. Serve warm on their own or with a salad or pita bread.
