Ingredients

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup cucumber, diced
1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
1 tbsp fresh mint, chopped (optional)
1 cup canned chickpeas, rinsed and drained
1/4 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 tsp dried oregano
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prick sweet potatoes with a fork and place them on the baking sheet. Roast for 40–50 minutes until fork-tender.
In a large bowl, combine chickpeas, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, olives, feta, parsley, and mint.
In a small bowl, whisk olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper.
Pour dressing over the filling and toss gently to combine.
Let sweet potatoes cool slightly, then slice lengthwise and fluff the inside with a fork.
Stuff each sweet potato with the Mediterranean mixture.
Serve immediately and enjoy.
Notes
For a vegan version, omit feta or use a plant-based alternative.
Add grilled chicken or tofu for extra protein.
You can prepare the filling ahead of time and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
Adjust herbs and seasoning based on taste preference.
