Mediterranean Baked Sweet Potatoes

Have now made this several times, it always comes out perfect. High praise from my husband, which is rare!

Baking this up now to have for a post-long run lunch tomorrow (when I will be too tired/out of it to make from scratch. Love this recipe, and generally I am not a sweet potato fan!

Just made this and it was absolutely amazing! Thanks for a lovely recipe

I made this tonight for dinner, it was delicious and super filling! Really simple to make☺

It was sooooo delicious! Thank you! :)

Thanks for this recipe!!! Sooooo good!

Tonight, we added avocado to the tomato mixture and pumpkin seeds and power greens as toppings to get some more “filling” for our super large and always hungry men! Hahaha!!

Thank you for sharing!

I came across this website while trying to find vegetarian recipes and boy am I glad I did! I made this for dinner tonight and it was a definite hit, hubby loved it!! This will be going in my personal recipe book to make again. I ended up using homemade tahini for the garlic herb sauce and as suggested I had to add more seasonings to make up for the lack of taste compared to hummus. Thank you for sharing this recipe!!!

Wow! This was delicious! So flavorful! Even my meat loving husband loved it!

This was absolutely delicious and so easy to do!

Oh dear, I just made this for my sister and I, it was de-li-cious! Thank you so much for this recipe!

My husband and I LOVED this recipe! So simple but SO packed with flavor and really filling on it’s own. The first time we made it, it took longer to cook the sweet potatoes than I expected (about 45 min. even with them in half), so our chickpeas were a little bit too roasted. Second time around I roasted the chickpeas separately for only about 15 minutes and they were perfect. Stored leftover chickpeas, tomato/parsley garnish, and hummus sauce and topped them on a bed of spinach for lunch today. Amazing. Thanks for this recipe!

Wow! I made these for a quick meal last night and it serisouly hit-the-spot! Will for sure make again. I added a few things: kalamata olives, English cuke and some cilantro to the tomato/parsely relish. So good…can’t wait for lunch today!

This looks AMAZING!! Totally on my to-do list this weekend!

This was a wonderful interplay of flavors. The garlic sauce made with hummus is a total winner and could be used in so many ways.

this is perhaps the best recipe I’ve tried on your websites so far. these are so delicious and seriously healthy, the garlic herb sauce goes so well with the sweet potatoes and the roasted chickpeas. definitely will be making again.

OH MY GOODNESS! I came across this recipe a few months ago, and it has became a weekly feature in our family! Even our kids (who previously wouldn’t eat sweet potato), are digging into it :) Thanks so much for your awesome blog!

I made these after a long day working overtime – quick, easy and more importantly DELICIOUS!!!! My husband loved it! So good, and easy…perfect!

Incredible! Just made it…worked perfectly. love love love!!
Thank you! Great pics, too!

Is this recipe gluten-free?? Looks delicious!!

First visit. Great site Dana and an excellent recipe. Like how you’ve been kind enough to include a friendly print option. Will certainly check out your other recipes. Thank you

This recipe looks fantastic! I plan to make it this week and have everything on hand except the lemon juice. Is there anything I could use in place of it? Like pineapple juice or some kind of vinegar?

I made these the other day and it is absolute heaven! My four year old daughter at the lot. It is my new favorite thing with sweet potatoes. Looove the hummus garlic sauce! Big hit!

I was really surprised that my teenagers loved this recipe. They especially liked the chickpeas which they ate as poppers. They’ve asked me to make it again!

Hi Dana, Surfing Persian food today and not quite sure how I happened upon this recipe! But I had all the ingredients, so gave it a whack. Once I had it all plated I honestly wasn’t so sure how the flavors would blend. Perfect world’s of sweet and tart Yumm! The roasted chickpeas really round it out. This was absolutely delicious! And so simple! Looking forward to trying more :0)

I am IN LOVE with this. I had no chickpeas so I replaced them with cannellini beans and it turned out great. I love your recipes! Thank you!

Made this recipe for dinner tonight. Loved it! Trying to incorporate more plant-based food in my diet. Will try more of these recipes

Hi! Are the chickpeas supposed to be hard when they come out of the oven?
Love, Toloue

This was UH-mazing. My husband and I barely spoke while we ate. The flavor combos were perfect:) Swapped the parsley for cilantro. Thank you for your excellent recipes. Your chocolate/mint coconut mousse is also such a huge hit. xoxoMelissa

Dana you killed me with this recipe!!! It’s just AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can’t wait to try it!!!!!!!!!!!! Just checkout your blog and totally happy to follow you since now!

hi! I found your page when I was looking for some black beans burgers and I made them with some substitutions and they were amazing!! But I wanted to try this recipe so badly I went and bought all the ingredients today and let me tell you something.. these sweet potatoes are INCREDIBLE!!!! I loved them! Took me a long time to get them done (because I’m a slow cook) but it was totally worth it!!! THANK YOU!! for making my meals less boring! I’m planning on making more of your recipes, they’re so easy to follow!

I am in LOVE. This was the best meal I have ever made, and it fits all the requirements for cooking for me: fast, easy, DELICIOUS!!!

yeah i love this recipe
bookmarked it immediately
as soon there are sweet potatoes available i will cook this
and next time i make hummus i make it with dill
i always planned to bake some chickpeas but never come to it
the idea to combine roasting the sweet potatoes on the same tray is so simple
i’m nearly ashamed that i never had the idea
lg birgit

I noticed in the toppings it has chili garlic sauce, is that recipe available or do you just purchase it?

I’m so excited to cook this! Do you think if I put the sauce in an air tight jar and put it in the refrigerator it would last long?

I made these for my family last night, and what a hit! I slightly overcooked the chick peas, but they just tasted like toasted nuts. I will definitely be cooking this recipe again.

I made these tonight with my boyfriend and they’re awesome! Definitely going to be making it again. Thanks for the recipe!

Another hit! These are great!
Anytime I’m looking for something to make for dinner I search google, can’t find anything and then decide to check this website.
Everything I’ve tried from you is so flavorful!!! This is the best recipe website.

I made this for supper and the whole family loved it! A perfectly satisfying gluten-free vegan meal. Everyone should just make this right away :)

These are awesome! Such a nice low-cal, vegetarian option for dinner or lunch!

Made these the other night and LOVED them!! Really interesting mix of flavours. Will definitely be making again. My non-vegan bf loved them too :) Awesome recipe!

These look great and I can’t wait to try them. I just have one quick question. Do you have a suggestion as a substitute for the fresh parsley? I am just not a big fan of it (not cilantro for that matter).

These look ah-mazing! I’m starting a 22 day vegan diet and was wondering if anyone has any experience with making these ahead and how to reheat/store, etc? Thanks for all your yummy recipes!

This recipe was YUMMMAZING!!! I added a bit of cayenne to the chickpeas to spice it up just a tad, also made the recipe with tahini dressing instead of hummus. It was so delish! I could eat this several meals in a row and not even feel bad because it is so jam-packed with healthy nutrients. The only thing I would do differently next time is use fresh dill in the tahini dressing as it would have taken the flavor up a notch (if that’s possible?!)- only had dried on hand and couldn’t really taste it. Wow. Can’t wait for tomorrow’s lunch so I can eat it again :)

My daughter made this for us tonight – delicious! At first we thought the ingredients were an odd combination but we definitely liked it and it will be in the “make again” recipe file.

this recipe is great, both me and my carnivore boyfriend love it! I think the tomatoes on top definitely make it excellent and add a nice balance to the flavors! Also, I use the garlic herb sauce recipe all the time! Adding the sauce to simple roasted veggies over rice makes it a really easy, delicious meal. It tastes great with and without the dill, but the dill definitely gives it a nice strong herby flavor. Awesome recipe here, and sauce !

I made these for dinner last night and just ate leftovers for lunch. They were so tasty and I love the layering of flavors. Thanks for helping me mix things up! I’ve been a little stuck in a rut with meals and this was a great change. Oh, and my 8-year-old daughter even liked it!

This is the first recipe I’ve made from your site. I had to try this dish after seeing it on a random Buzzfeed article I came across. Although I’m not a vegan, I found this meal completely satisfying and delicious. I also made your favorite green smoothie for breakfast and have leftover hummus to snack on too.

I made this for dinner…
The pictures were wonderful, i NEEDED to cook that dish…

And now… I’m completely addicted! It was so good! Even my fussy 10 y.o. loved it!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!

Made this for dinner tonight – holy crap it was AWESOME. Thank you for the recipe! :)

I reaaaaally liked this dish a lot. Good stuff

We made these last night and they were amazing. They looked professional, and the ingredient proportions were very forgiving. We used all of the ingredients (except coriander) and mixed the marinade for the toppings with some roasted zucchini as a side.
Definitely using this recipe again. Thank you!

yuuummmmmsssss….thanks! it is so yummy! i skipped the toppings. maybe next time. but i dont feel like anythingis missing…love these flavors!!! were the chickpeas suppose to firm up? or stay soft?
whatever- its great! and i could put the dressing on everything i think. by the way…for those who are allergic to sesame, almond butter is a great sub- even to make tahina.

OMG–this was so amazing. One of the best meals I’ve had in a long time, and I felt so great after eating it: no grains, just beans ‘n’ veggies. Best post-workout dinner ever.
To be fair, I did change it up a wee bit: I don’t like cumin or cinnamon so I rubbed cayenne, paprika, and pepper on the sweet potatoes instead. I also omitted the dill from the hummus sauce, which by the way WHAT A GREAT IDEA. A delicious, tangy, creamy sauce made from hummus? Genius!

This is going to be in regular rotation around here. Heck, I’m currently in the throes of my thesis so I may eat this for the next two weeks because it’s so easy (and I always have leftover hummus to use up). Thanks for always providing phenomenal and healthy recipes, Dana!

I just discovered you and I’m hooked! I think next week’s menu might come solely from your blog. Can’t wait to try these amazing looking recipes! I’m a mom of 4 kids ages 5 and under, and we eat mostly vegan-ish, so quick healthy meals are must! Thanks for sharing such great easy recipes!

I just had to try these and had the intentions to do it by the reciepe but along the way I decided to use a cheese and nut free, extra garlicky pesto instead of the garilc spread and then added some goat cheve before adding the tomato salad mix.. Thank you so much for this wonderful idea. It is a favorite and we will have many more wondeful dishes like this.

My husband and I loved this meal. I used tahini and it did need a little something extra. I doubled the lemon juice, add about 1 extra clove of garlic and about 1 extra teaspoon dill (I used fresh), and add about 1/4 teaspoon salt. It was very hearty, filling, and delicious! Thanks for a great recipe!

Thank you so much for the recipe. Really needed an addition to my recipes; this is different and delicious!

I just made this and it was delicious! Thank you for such a simple and satisfying recipe.

This meal has become one of my go-to recipes after a workout! I hope you don’t mind me sharing it on my blog, it’s just too handy not to share!

If embarking on a homemade raw food diet for your
pet (sometimes referred to as BARF), thoroughly research the area first as nutritional
balance is essential. People who find themselves participating in fat loss
also need dietary supplements to help keep them healthy.
Soy – Look for tofu, soy milk, or edamame rather than soy powder.

Hi!
I’m Pam. I am A wellness coach and working on a program for my Integrative Dr for a workshop cooking class this summer, may I use some of your recipes if I give you credit and add your link?
Thanks,
Pam

I made this last night and also took it to work for lunch this morning! While my chick peas didn’t turn out quite right, the rest of the dish was amazing! I loved the hummus sauce. I also made some Italian meatballs, and found that three of those and half of a (large) sweet potato was very filling. I really enjoyed this, but I’m not sure if my fiance would eat it, haha. It may have to be a girls night kinda thing :)

This was absolutely delicious! Definitely will make again. Thank you for the recipe!

This recipe has become one of my go-to lunch recipes for work. It’s a really easy recipe and I can make several portions, which re-heat in a snap. To top it off I usually make a salad with tomatoes, cucumbers, red bell pepper, parsley and lemon juice (instead of just the tomatoes.) The garlic hummus sauce is fantastic!

I made this tonight and it was a hit with my family. My husband decided he wanted to go vegetarian and I wanted to support him so we all as a family have been eating more veggie meals. This by far has been my favorite! It is very flavorful and my kids loved it! I will be subscribing to your blog. It was easy and done in no time! Thank you!

Happy Mum, happy Daddy and and even happy toddler after this yummy meal. Will definitely be making this on a regular basis. So quick and easy and the flavours are fantastic. The humble sweet potato is king!

um… yum! I left the chickpeas in the oven a little too long, so I need to pay attention next but the flavors were still awesome. Loved the garlic herb sauce!

I make this all the time; it’s amazing. One thing I did differently this time was sub cayenne for the cinnamon. Gives it a more savory-spicy vibe than sweet. I also double the sauce because the sauce is amazing. I fill a 1/2c measuring cup with some of the chickpeas from the oven and cover them in tahini to fill the rest to make the sauce. It works well that way. Thank you :) :)

When you say “chili garlic sauce” as optional toppings, what are you referring to? Is there a recipe somewhere that I’m not seeing? Sounds great!

I made this for dinner yesterday and I totally fell in love with it!! I added some black beans and onions to the roasted chickpeas and it was sooo delicious!
I’ll definitely cook that again and again and again and… :-)
Thanks for sharing the recipe!!

I love sweet potatoes! Fry them, bake them, sprinkle marshmallows on them and put them in a casserole, or plain. These are the BEST sweet potatoes I’ve EVER had. My husband made them last night and I raved about them so much, he thought I was being sarcastic. Thank you for sharing this recipe, I will probably be eating this weekly!

My husband and I made this tonight, it is amazing! It’s so delicious! I recommend this recipe 100%. We will be having this again for sure! I have just started following your page and every recipe I have tried so far has been amazing! Thank you so much for sharing.

We had this for dinner last night and it was even better than I thought it would be – and I expected amazing from reading the combination of ingredients. Easy and fast and healthy as well. I added some feta and olive tapenade to the toppings. We loved it and will be having it on our regular rotation. Thanks so much!

Just made it – soooo delicious!!! The combination of flavours and textures is amazing!
Thanks for sharing it ❤

I’ve only just gone from veggie to vegan and this was my first intentionally vegan meal… And it was stunning! I’m reworking the sauce to replace loads of others and plan to do slight variations of the whole thing for casual dinner parties.

Thanks so much for sharing this!

You know, when you find a recipe that is so delicious you want everyone to take a bite. well, this one is past that, you want to eat it all. Maybe, just maybe, if someone is close enough to your heart you’ll let them look at it (not too close) and even take a whiff. But no way am I EVER going to share my plate (no leftovers here!)

I hate when sweet potatoes are served sweetly–for example with brown sugar and marshmallows on top. This was the perfect antidote to that. The savory chickpeas, the garlic, the tomatoes contrasted perfectly with the sweet potatoes! Yum!

These are the best! They look and taste so fancy but they’re so straightforward! I definitely impressed some non-vegans with this recipe :)

Delicious and easy! Thank you.

this was delish! I added some feta on top and it added a nice additional texture. An amazing combination of flavors – thank you!

Made this tonight, absolutely delishes! So simple and fast!

This was absolutely delicious! Usually vegetarian but doing a little detox and found your website which inspired me. Very happy that I have your ideas to support me over the next few weeks. Thanks for thinking of this recipe. Smoky, sweet, creamy, nutty, fresh plate of yum.

Making this tonight!! Looks amazing and I can’t wait to try it!!

great recipe..thank you very much.It is wonderful (I think I skipped a little more lemon but is perfect anyway)

I had never made sweet potatoes before, but thanks to your recipe I’m hooked now. I made these last night and they were absolutely delicious! That sauce is simply amazing! My husband said I made his day by making him these. Definitely making these again! Thanks so much for this fantastic recipe!

This is an amazing recipe. I substituted cilantro for the parsley and all the flavors together were incredible. I will make this again.

Could i use regular peas instead of chickpeas?

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!
Had these for dinner tonight and my kiddos (ages 10, 8, 6, 4 and 2) gobbled them up asking for more – and they “don’t like sweet potatoes” :)

Thanks so much – ordered your cookbook and can’t wait to make all of my meals from it!!!!

I made these last night for a group of non-vegan friends, and everyone loved it! I’ve already had 3 requests for the recipe!

This was a spectacular dish. I’ve cooked sweet potatoes for years but never thought to halve them for faster cooking and also caramelization of the face-down flesh — thank you! And the combo of baked chick peas (we rubbed the spices on the potatoes, too, before baking) was so delicious. Sauce was fabulous. Didn’t make the tomato topping, but even without, it was unique and memorable.

Thank you so much for this recipe. I couldn’t believe my family loved it and they loved the sauce as well. Just amazing. Thanks for all you do.

I live when I can get my husband to eat a meatless dinner! This dish was amazing, although I totally burned the chickpeas the first time (thought they cooked as long as the sweet potatoes! Whoops!)

Loved it! I made the sauce with loads of dill and I used tahini instead of the hummus and its delicious. I discovered your blog just recently and I’m already looking forward to trying another recipe.

Thanks !!

So this is my second time making this recipe and it is just as good this time as it was the last! My boyfriend and I are both meat-eaters. While a lot of veggie/vegan recipes tend to feel like they’re lacking something, this one just doesn’t. It’s perfect. It’s filling, and zesty. The chickpeas are crunchy and feel nice against the smooth potato. Can you tell I’m not a food critic? I don’t have the language to describe how awesome this is. I’m eating it right now actually.

Anyway, I love this dish. A lot. I had to double the recipe for the chick peas and the chili garlic sauce this time around, because last time my boyfriend and I couldn’t stop pigging out and didn’t save enough toppings for the rest of the potatoes!

Not to mention it’s so colorful and beautiful when you’re all done plating. Made me feel like a chef!

5 Billion Stars. Also thank you for the super easy, well-written directions!!

Yay!! This is delicious. Thanks for posting .. I love love loved the roasted chick peas
Total yumminess x’s infinity

This was delish! I was looking for a quick recipe with sweet potatoes and chickpeas, and I found it here. So many flavors… I will probably make it with different proportions of spices next time, but all-around fabulous dish!

I was back in Ireland with my family for Christmas, along with my other half who is vegan. it was the first time he had been staying with my family. My mum made these for lunch one day, absolutely delish and a great addition to our vegan recipe repertoire. Mum has been inspired to eat more vegan and vegetarian food, so a great success all round! We also really enjoy your vegan key lime pies, which I sometimes make with a ginger biscuit base. Keep up the inspiring work :)

I just made this recipe yesterday for lunch – it was excellent! The only change I made is that I used homemade carrot hummus instead of plain hummus for the sauce. I will definitely make this again :)

Made this last night as I’m trying to move to a more plant based diet (damn you cholesterol and glucose), and it was incredibly easy and delicious and filling! Thank you thank you Minimalist Baker person!
B. in L.A.

I made this for a potluck with lots of kids. Success!
