Feb 07, 2021
Ingredients:
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cups spinach
- ½ cup canned chickpeas
- ¼ cup sundried tomatoes (chopped)
- 2 tbsp Kalamata olives (chopped)
- 1 cup cooked quinoa
- ½ tsp dried thyme
- ½ tsp dried dill
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
To garnish:
- 1 tbsp tahini
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- Pinch of salt and pepper
- 1-2 tbsp of water to thin
- Chives
- Red pepper flakes
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Puncture the sweet potatoes with a fork and place them in a baking dish. Bake until soft, and knife slides into the flesh easily, about 35-45 minutes, depending on the size.
- Meanwhile, prepare the quinoa mixture by heating the oil in a saute pan over medium heat. Add the rest of the ingredients (spinach to salt and pepper) and saute until warm. Keep warm until the sweet potatoes are cooked.
- When the sweet potatoes are soft, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Once cooled, transfer them to a plate, split them open with a sharp knife and spoon the quinoa into the center.
- Whisk together the tahini, lemon, salt, pepper and water then pour on top of sweet potatoes. Garnish with fresh chives and red pepper flakes. Serve immediately and enjoy!
