Mediterranean stuffed sweet potatoes are a wholesome and vibrant meal featuring roasted sweet potatoes topped with a fresh chickpea, tomato, cucumber, and feta salad, drizzled with lemon herb dressing. It’s hearty, refreshing, and packed with flavor.

Ingredients

  • 2 large sweet potatoes, scrubbed and halved
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cucumber, diced
  • 1/4 red onion, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup Kalamata olives, sliced (optional)
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley or mint, chopped
  • Lemon Herb Dressing:
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Rub sweet potato halves with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place cut-side down on a baking sheet.
  3. Roast for 30–40 minutes until tender and lightly caramelized.
  4. In a bowl, combine chickpeas, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, olives, feta, and herbs.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, Dijon mustard (if using), salt, and pepper to make the dressing.
  6. Pour dressing over the chickpea mixture and toss to combine.
  7. Once sweet potatoes are cool enough to handle, fluff the insides with a fork and season lightly.
  8. Top each sweet potato half with the Mediterranean filling.
  9. Serve warm or at room temperature, garnished with extra herbs if desired.

Notes

  • Add avocado or roasted red peppers for variety.
  • Swap chickpeas for lentils or quinoa if preferred.
  • To make dairy-free, omit the feta or use a plant-based alternative.
  • Store filling and sweet potatoes separately for best freshness.
  • Great for meal prep and easy to assemble ahead of time.
