Sweet potatoes are hands down one of my all-time favorite foods. I can't live without them. I love them roasted, in chili, in salads, in grilled cheese, in enchiladas, and they even make killer nachos. They also make an amazing base for Greek salad. Greek salad is another one of my loves, so combine the two and you've pretty much got my favorite meal ever. These Greek Stuffed Sweet Potatoes are EVERYTHING! I bake the sweet potatoes in the oven and then top them with a simple Greek salad and tzatziki sauce. Sooooo good!

A few tips for these delicious Greek Stuffed Sweet Potatoes:

• Buy sweet potatoes that are the same size so they will take the same amount of time to cook.
• You can bake the sweet potatoes in advance. Reheat in the microwave before serving. You can also cook the sweet potatoes in the microwave if you are in a time crunch.
• You can also make the tzatziki sauce in advance. I add a dollop right before serving and it really makes the sweet potatoes extra tasty.
• These easy stuffed sweet potatoes make a great lunch or dinner.

Ingredients

  

• 4 medium sweet potatoes washed and scrubbed
• 1 14 oz can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
• 1 cup halved grape tomatoes
• 1 cup  chopped peeled cucumber
• 1/3 cup pitted kalamata olives coarsely chopped
• 1/4 red onion chopped
• 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
• 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• Tzatziki sauce for serving

Instructions

 

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Prick each sweet potato a couple of times with a fork. Place the sweet potatoes on the baking sheet and bake until soft, about 45-50 minutes.
• While the sweet potatoes are baking, make the Greek filling. In a medium bowl, combine the chickpeas, tomatoes, cucumber, olives, red onion, and feta. Add the olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, and dried oregano. Stir and season with salt and black pepper, to taste.
• Make the tzatziki sauce.
• When the sweet potatoes are soft and done baking, let them cool until you are able to touch them. Cut the sweet potatoes in half with a sharp knife. Place sweet potatoes on a plate or in a bowl. To make room for the filling, smash down the sweet potatoes with a fork. Top each sweet potato half evenly with the Greek filling. Add a dollop of Tzatziki sauce. Serve immediately.
