Ingredients
  

  • 4 medium sweet potatoes scrubbed clean
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil extra virgin
  • 1 can chickpeas drained and rinsed
  • 2 cups spinach fresh
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin to taste
  • 1 teaspoon paprika to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Pierce the sweet potatoes several times with a fork, place them on a baking sheet, and bake for 45 minutes or until tender.
  • Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chickpeas, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes.
  • Add fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Once sweet potatoes are done, let them cool slightly. Cut them in half lengthwise and gently scoop out a portion of the flesh, creating a small well.
  • Fill the sweet potato wells with chickpea and spinach mixture. Serve hot. Sprinkle with Parmesan to taste.
