Step 1

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 2. Place the sweet potatoes on one side of the prepared baking sheet, and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until soft. Keep in mind that 15 minutes into the sweet potato baking cycle, the seasoned chickpeas need to be placed in the oven to bake as well. 3. Place the chickpeas in a bowl and combine with the paprika, cumin, garlic powder, chili powder, and salt. At the 15-minute point, lay the chickpeas in a single layer next to the sweet potatoes on the prepared baking sheet and bake for the remaining 30 to 35 minutes needed for the sweet potatoes. 4. Once the sweet potatoes and chickpeas are done baking, slice the sweet potatoes in half and mash the insides with a fork. Stuff with the chickpeas and your herbs of choice, and drizzle with the tahini dressing
