Ingredients
For the potatoes:
- 4 medium sweet potatoes pierced with a fork
- 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil plus extra for rubbing
- ½ small onion chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 3 ½ cups bite-sized broccoli florets
- 1 cup cooked or canned chickpeas rinsed
- salt and pepper to taste
For the dressing:
- ½ cup diced ripe avocado
- ¼ cup plain greek yogurt
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic minced
- ¼ cup thinly sliced green onion
- ¼ cup loosely packed fresh parsley
- ¼ cup loosely packed fresh basil leaves
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
For the potatoes:
- Preheat the oven to 375ºF.
- Rub the sweet potatoes lightly with olive oil, then wrap each individually in aluminum foil. Bake for about 60 minutes, or until tender (a knife should glide easily into the center without resistance).
- Meanwhile, add the 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil to a medium skillet set over medium heat. When hot, add in the onion and cook for about 2 minutes, until it starts to soften. Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds, until fragrant. Add in the broccoli and cook for about 3 to 5 minutes, until crisp tender. Remove from the heat and stir in the chickpeas, salt and pepper.
Cup of Yum
For the dressing:
- Add all of the ingredients for the dressing to the bowl of a food processor. Process until smooth, scraping down the bowl as needed. Add additional milk to smoothen the dressing if needed (or to thin it out to your liking).
To serve:
- Slice the sweet potatoes in half lengthwise. Sprinkle each with some salt and pepper, then top with some of the filling and a generous amount of the dressing.
