Mediterranean Baked Sweet Potatoes

This recipe is great! Thank you Dana. My family loves the dish. It is easy to make and the flavor is mwah.

How much garlic sauce do I add to the tomato parsly topping?!?!

Absolutely love this recipe! I’ve been trying to slowing move into the vegan/vegetarian lifestyle, so I made this for my family and they loved it. It’s simple for a beginner, like me! And I’m so excited that the end result was even better than I expected. So pleased to have found this recipe :)

I made this recipe for Shabbat dinner with a group of picky eaters, and it was a HUGE hit! I made a double batch of sauce but didn’t have any left over because my guests sopped every last bit of it up. Easy and super delicious. I’m looking forward to the leftovers!

Great recipe, the flavours together arr so delicious ?

Yum!
I have been meal-prepping lately, and I try to make something vegetarian based for my weekly meals, this is so perfect, and quick! I will be making it again.
I cut the sweet potatoes into smaller pieces before rotating, and I think this has made it easier to portion out for the week, and help the potatoes absorb the yummy sauce.
I think I may also experiment with adding corn.

Oh my word, thank you! I just started a lifestyle-change by eating more vegan recipes. I feel like I am learning how to cook all over again, because meat is no longer an option. I am so glad I ran upon this recipe because it wasn’t just delicious, but super easy to make. In addition, it helped me get an idea of how a vegan is supposed to cook. I cannot wait to try some the plethora of recipes, and yes, I did subscribe! Thanks again!

Advice!! It calls for 3 cloves of garlic and if you are a garlic lover like myself you will say, “Let me pick the three LARGEST cloves of garlic and then sneak in two more smaller ones”. Yeah… DON’T DO THAT! It was very potent in garlic (but regardless still wonderful!).

It was an explosion of so many different flavors. You will be eating and at one moment you say, “Ah, parsley, no wait, garlic, no wait, sweet potato…” and all are fresh great flavors. Chickpeas aren’t a favorite of mine but they were easy to eat in this dish and added great texture.

This was absolutely delicious!! So glad to have found your website :) YUM!!!

I made this today for lunch and loved it!!! Thank you, Thank you.

There is no time for the chick peas themselves, but I an thinking that 30 min is your advice.is that correct?

I made this recipe and fed it to my boyfriend and his brother and the both of them couldn’t stop talking about how fantastic it was and I would have to agree! :) Absolutely excellent recipe! Thank you for sharing! I also recently was craving it and didn’t have the cherry tomatoes or parsley or chickpeas so instead I made some fresh guac with chunks of regular tomato and white onion cut up mixed in with lime juice and some Mexican seasoning and then drizzled the herb sauce over it and garnished with chives and it was still so satisfying and delicious! That Garlic herb sauce could be eaten on its own – it’s so good! You should bottle it and sell it ;)

This recipe was so simple easy and yummy! I baked the chickpeas a little bit longer by accident but the bite was a good and gave a different texture to the dish. I was glad to see my son eat them because he doesn’t like any beans. Tomatoes and parsley and lemon made the dish very fresh! I’m going to add a little silk tofu in the sauce next time to make it creamier (my husband suggested this to me). All in all this dish is a winner! I already sent a link to this recipe to members of my family. Thank you and can’t wait to try more dishes!

Will this keep if I try to prepare it as a part of a several dal meal prep?

I am not a confident cook esp. for company so I followed the recipe exactly. Everyone loved it! The only comment was that the chickpeas were not all crunchy…some soft some hard. I wondered what caused the difference… but did not detract from the taste and healthy dinner!

Such an amazing dish! You have gained a new follower and fan! I cooked it for my friends who love junk food and eat meat – all are extremely sceptic of healthy food/vegan food. You’ve opened up their minds and their food palette with this dish. 7/5 for this dish

Hey! I found this recipe this afternoon and wanted to make it straight away! Roasting as I speak. I didn’t have humus or tahini, but I found white kidney beans in my pantry. Used it just like I would use chickpeas in a hummus and so far so good! The texture isn’t as smooth as it may be but it was a great substitute. Also looking more into your other recipes! Excited to try more! Thanks!

So easy, true to recipe and simply delicious!!

Ooh! This is exactly what I am looking for! My 15 yold daughter has a vegan friend staying over tonight and I had no clue what to cook lol! This recipe sounds perfect and I am almost certain that the whole family will love it. Am going to try! Will post the results. Thank for sharing the recipe!

OH MY GOD, this recipe has actually changed my life. Seriously. It’s so good. Personally, I roast my chickpeas in a mix of ground cumin, ground coriander and cayenne pepper with lots of salt and pepper. And I use parsley instead of dill in the sauce, mostly so I don’t have to buy parsley and dill at the store. But aside from those inevitable tweaks that everyone makes to recipes… this is the bomb dot com. Thanks Dana for sharing this, it’s amazing!

I really liked this! I’m not a fan of tomato, so I roasted some kale with olive oil and dill the last couple minutes. I also think I added too much lemon because it was a little too overpowering. Next time, I think I’ll blend the humus with more fresh dill and parsley with less lemon.
Overall, I think it’s very creative, cheap, and yummy! I’m definitely going to make this a regular meal prep.

I just made this dish for lunch, and it was quick, easy, and filling. I added a little balsamic vinegar to the chickpeas to intensify the flavor a bit. I also didn’t feel like pulling out the processor to mince the garlic, so I used granulated. Perfectly savory!

This recipe is awesome! I made it for my whole family (with one absolutely gigantic sweet potato that weighed close to a kilo) and even my brother, who absolutely never eats vegetables unless they’re well hidden in something else, ate his whole sweet potato with the chickpeas and sauce! That’s a major win – he ate a whole plant based meal for the first time in his life!
Love this site, guys. Two dinners from here in the last two night :)

Wow!! This is amazing.
I don’t like sweet potatoes but this was amazing!! The crunch of the chick peas along with the soft sweet potato and then the pop of the fresh tomatoes is an unbelievably good combo. Not to mention to flavours! This dish is officially on the menu for Summer lunches outdoors. Even my sweet-potato-hating stepfather has agreed to give it a whirl.
Absolutely fab!

These were seriously amazing! Thank you so much! I plated them on a bed of baby spinach and it was one of the best meals I’ve ever had! I’ll be checking out more of your recipes :)

We had these tonight and they were SO crazy good! They were really filling too! A lot of great bang for your healthy buck! We will definitely be having these in our normal rotation! The only change that I made was that I seasoned the cut side of the potatoes with the same seasonings as the chickpeas before I cooked them. It was delicious! :)

OMG, this is so good, fresh, and bursting with colorful flavors. Thank you, thank you, thank you! So easy to prepare and pack for lunch the next day. I never liked baked potatoes until now.

Absolutely amazing!! This recipe even satisfies carnivores. It’s flavorful and filling. I never leave comments or rate recipes but I have made it so many times now I feel obligated to give it the five star review it deserves!

Trying this now. So far it smells yummy

Love love love this! A go to dinner of mine, and perfect for lunch to take to uni the next day. Super easy, super filling and super fresh, giving me a heap of energy to tackle my assignments. Thank you!

What a wonderful medley of flavors and textures. When I want something delicious, healthy and fool-proof you Dana are my go-to!

OH MY!! I have just started my journey to being a Vegan, and this was the recipe I needed. I cant get over how amazing it is!! Im going to make this dish for all of my family, and Im not even a cook. It was so simple and easy, and tasted so delish! The sauce definitely made the dish super tasty. My hubby even loved it he wanted to take some for lunch. He is not Vegan at all. I think this is a winner for years to come :) Thank you so much! ARee

I absolutely love this dish!!!! I didn’t have dill so I replaced it with thyme and I also didn’t have chickpeas so I replaced it with cranberry (romana) beans and the dish was fantastic! I am not vegan so I ate this with a bit of sausage. My first choice would have been chicken breast but I ran out *cries* lol. I made some for a friend and they LOVEDDDDD it. Especially the garlic sauce. Thank you so much for this recipe! This definitely my favorite way of cooking sweet potatoes by far!

Yum!! So delicious and FILLING, like crazy! I found that it ended up tasting quite exotic (but that may be because I also included a dash of curry in the spices used to flavour the chickpeas, since I couldn’t get my hands on all of the spices listed where I live). I also swapped the parsley for some cilantro, because I thought its light lemony flavour would complement the rich and earthy tones of the sweet potato, chick peas and hummus… and also because I can never get enough cilantro!

All in all, amazing recipe – I saved it to my favourites, and will be making it again and again.

Holy Delicious! You’ve become my favorite food blogger and these really just took it to a new level!

I was out of chickpeas to make hummus with, so I made mine with tahini. I added cumin to the tahini and some more lemon since the tahini was really bitter. I hate tomatoes so I served mine with red lady apples – one bite knocked me off my feet!

I sent a pic to my boyfriend who’s been obsessed with all recipes and cooking shows (of the nonveg varriety, bleh), he was immediately intrigued. Bet I know what he’s having for dinner tonight ;).

Thanks for all your great recipes!

Super good, love the combination of flavors! And the presentation is pretty too … Made extra of the yummy sauce for dipping falafel. Meal was delish! Too bad we can’t post a pic with comment since I’m not doing the social-media thing right now. Loved it and we’ll make it again. Tonight I’m trying the baba ganoush! Thank you for sharing your recipes my fellow Portlander!

This dish has become one of our go-to meals. I wanted to share a variation that’s been working out well for us. I make quinoa, and instead of roasting the whole sweet potato, I dice it in cubes and roast it. I stir all the components together, and toss it like a big salad, using the tahini sauce as the dressing. It’s a delicious take on the same ingredients. I hope you try it out! Cindy Boxer

Wow! This looks great. Reminds me of a similar dish I ate in London at Ottolenghi’s
restaurant.

Thank you so much for this recipe, it was DELISH! Looove sweet potatoes, and the sauce was perfect (YUM). Will be making again!

made this tonight…and my family hated it. horrible combination of flavors. literally made myself and one of my daughters gag- it reminded me of a meal when your a guest in someone’s home you force yourself to eat to be polite. looks good but tastes TERRIBLE. very disappointed progressively got worse with each bite!! is no stars an option? don’t waste your ingredients on this…

I made this for dinner last night and brought the leftovers to work today for lunch. Very delicious, love the different flavors and the bonus was it took very little time to prepare and uses ingredients that I keep on hand. I get home from work late so cooking a dinner that normally takes an hour or more is usually the LAST thing I’m thinking about. And it’s healthy so no guilt about eating a late meal. Thanks for sharing!

This is the second time making this for my family. It is fantastic! My husband begs me to make these on a weekly basis! The best part is there’s nothing bad for you in it. How often do you see that?! Thank you for posting this recipe!

So delicious! My husband, my friend’s 4yo, and I made this tonight, and it was really fun. There were plenty of things for the little one to stir/ measure/ place, and he couldn’t resist licking the sauce off his fingers. When we were done with everything he said “I really love cooking.” And to top it all, it was a great meal. What a wonderful combo of flavors and textures! Thank you!

Amazing recipe! We loved it :)

I made these least minute for a potluck (potatoes cut in slices instead and used fresh dill, otherwise kept the recipe the same). I had rave reviews and enough recipe requests that the principal asked me to bring copies of the recipe on Monday!

The potatoes were amazing made enough to last a week and they won’t go to waste

I tried this today and wow it was a hit !! Delicious and super quick and simple , these are the recipes for me! Thank you!

These were so delicious! I thought it would be a bit tedious, but after it was over…well, let’s just say this will not be the last time I make this dish.
:)

Amazing! is all I have to say. Sweet potatoes AND Mediterranean? Absolutely delicious! Thanks for a wonderful recipe :)

I made your mediterranean baked sweet potatoes for the 2nd time tonight. Truly delicious!

Wow!!! This was a huge hit with everyone from my eight year old to my carnivore husband! Yum!

This recipe is just sooooooo yummy and beautiful! My husband thinks it’s the best food he’s had in a while! This is the 2nd recipe I made from your site, I made the green chilli mac & cheese yesterday and it was diviiiiine…!!!! Can’t wait to try out more!! I found you from Buzzfeed’s post on vegan recipes and im so grateful!!

This was seriously yummy and satisfying.
I made it for dinner tonight and I’m already looking forward to leftovers tomorrow.
Thank you!!!

I have recently seen on YouTube a few people making this type of recipe and am so glad to finally get my hands on the recipe! My partner and I are both not vegans but are loving some of your recipes! I am most definitely going to be heading out to pick up the ingredients for tomorrow nights dinner.

Although my partner hates chickpeas. What could you recommend replacing them with?

I was a little skeptical of this since it seems like there are a few odd flavor combinations but I was soooo wrong. This is amazing! I’m currently making a change to a vegetarian diet and this dish gives me so much hope that I can keep it up. This isn’t the first recipe I’ve used of yours and I’m so grateful that there are people like you out there.

Hi,

Can I make this with regular potatoes? Or does it have to be sweet potatoes?

I made this and.. IT WAS FANTASTIC! So yummy! What a great combo of flavor. Thanks a bunch for the recipe. I will be adding this to my favorites.

I just have to tell you that my husband and I are OBSESSED with these sweet potatoes. We’ve had them twice in a week now. Thank you so much. In fact, as I was scrolling through the recipes to find this one, I saw just how many of your recipes have become regulars in our rotation. I am eternally grateful that there are talented and wonderful people like yourself that have chosen to share their talents with the rest of us. Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!!

Small question, in the sauce recipe it says water or almond milk but in the directions it says to add water TO almond milk to thin. Can you please clarify? I’ve always wanted to try to make these and this is the least complex looking and I’m definitely inspired to try. Thanks,

We weren’t expecting that much flavor! Will be making this on a monthly basis. Thanks!

Absolutely Delicious and so easy to make…So colorful and beautiful on the plate! Will definitely be sharing with friends and making it again and again!

This combination is amazing!!! Thank you so much, I love what you share and do :-)

So far I have tried 3 of your recipes and not one has disappointed our family. My 3 year old son was even willing to try the crunchy chickpeas! There is no picture because this is gone, all gone.

I LOVE sweetpotato & I LOVE a good cry…something so “releasing” about it! Thanks for the great recipe, will definitely be trying it out!

I have very recently gone vegan and really fancied a jacket potato – a quick google for recipes brought me here and I am so glad it did! Just made this for my dinner and it was delicious! Really hit the spot – thank you!

Saw this and knew I had to make it! I was a little nervous about the parsley because I’m not a big fan but all of the flavors came together! Easy to make and very yummy. Thank you!

I made this. Don’t know if I overcooked the Chickpeas, but they did not come out well. The hummus sauce came out very good, though.

oh my god, amazingly delicious and so simple – thank you for this recipe!!!

This recipe was delicious! My family and my company devoured it! Even the ones who thought they didn’t like sweet potatoes! Thanks so much… I’m excited to try more of your recipes!!

I had a craving for sweet potato and I feel blessed that this recipe appeared on my search engine after searching the recipe for a dinner idea. Absolutely loving this dish! It leaves me feeling full, but energised. So simple and so healthy – it has become a part of my diet, due to the ease and simplicity of the recipe and the amazing flavours and textures. Can’t wait to try the other recipes on this site! Thank you Dana :)

I love having sweet potatoes for dinner!! Lately I’ve been doing more of a Mexican Style potato. This will be a nice change!! :)

I’ve never eaten sweet potatoes savory like this. They’re always either plain or in a very sweet casserole for a holiday meal.

I bought some for our Christmas dinner but didn’t end up making our traditional casserole today. I think I will try this way instead in a couple days.

P.S. It looks much healthier than our sweet potato casserole (which is basically just a dessert that we typically eat with our meal!). Thanks for helping us change this up a bit!

I made this recipe for the first time tonight, and it was a hit! My husband (who is not vegan) couldn’t believe it was a vegan meal. He loved it! Thanks!

Great recipe! My husband loved it and he’s not a big sweet potato fan. I’ll be making it again for sure. I added some finely chopped red onion to the tomato and parsley salad.

Dana… You make such good recipes! I made this many months ago, but I remember how the flavors and textures were just… so good! I especially love the flavored chickpeas. I have now decided to go and rate all the recipes I have tried from your site, because they are all so good.
Your blog has inspired me so much :)

Can you recommend sides for this entree? I’m making it for a dinner party.

These are great. Cheap and easy to make, and pleased everyone at my college Friendsgiving (not an easy task). I even made them again for my family Thanksgiving a few days later.

I really like this recipe, especially the garlic sauce, it was delicious!!!!!
My son is a picky eater and he actually liked it.

I made this for diner tonight! I enjoyed it very much. I am looking forward to serving this dish to my mom. Thank you!

So I just happen to find your website looking for a way to make a sweet potato ‘bake’ for a vegan guest! I think she is really going to like this, (considering she does not eat any cheese, milk, egg etc.) Oh, and by the way, this will be served for our Thanksgiving meal – including the turkey, stuffing etc. I’m always looking for new recipes! Thanks

This was delicious!

This was delicious!! I had all the ingredients in the house except for hummus, so I cheated and used bottled Whole Foods Lemon Tahini Salad Dressing in place of the garlic sauce. It was lick-the-plate yummy. I’ll make it with the homemade garlic sauce next time.

Absolutely loved the roasted spiced chickpeas! They are addictive, and I will be making them again as a snack. But I did not care for either sauce. The optional one was too spicy and the mandatory one was an unappetizing color and did not taste very good either. I would suggest putting its garlic cloves through a garlic press instead of mincing them to improve the texture.

I saw this recipe on The Vegan Enthusiast Facebook Group page, and had to make it the same day. It was so delicious I had this for dinner two nights in a row! I changed it up a bit: I doubled the oil and spices and rubbed the paste into the cut side of the potatoes. The garlic sauce is also great over avocados- love this recipe.

This is my second recipe from you and both have been a hit! I loved them and so did my fiance who is not vegan…. I am hitting the subscribe button!!! This is a great recipe I happened to google vegan sweet potato dinner on my drive home… an hour later I was enjoying it…

WOW! Made these last night! SO YUMMY!

Delicious recipe! Thank you :)

Thank you SO much for posting this recipe. I made it tonight and (sadly) it was go very good that I ate two portions! This is one of the tastiest, freshest, lovliest to eat dishes :) Awesome.

This looks awesome! My partner and I have just switched to a vegan diet and looking to expand our meals…just wondering if you think sweet red pepper hummus would be ok? That’s all I’ve got as we live in a very rural area and are limited for ingredients! Thanks!

so happy to have found this recipe! It was super easy to make and the flavors were amazing!

Delicious recipe! Love the garlic sauce and the spices on the chickpeas, will definitely make again!

I prepared this for my vegan meal prep blog and was blown away! This is an absolutely fantastic recipe that I will definitely be cooking again and again! Thanks for sharing!

This was fabulous, and so easy to make! I’ll definitely have to make it a regular dinner. =D

I made this tonight and thought it was delicious! I gave the garbanzos an extra 5 mins to crisp them up but otherwise followed the directions. Great recipe. I sent it to my sister, also. Thanks!

Seriously the most delish vegan thing I (or my bf) has ever eaten! We both literally couldn’t stop talking about how yummy it was as we ate….and how simple and healthy! So glad I found your website! Keep it up!

This was absolutely delicious. I could have eaten all four servings myself. I made it more of a potato salad style, mixing all the ingredients together and brought it to a potluck. Thanks so much!

I am trying to incorporate more plant based recipes into my family’s diet. I recently discovered you site and it is amazing….easy and delicious recipes. I made these last night and was so glad my hubby wasn’t home because I now have leftovers for lunch today ? These were amazingly delicious. I am eating your overnight peanut butter oats as we speak…yum yum. Keep the incredible recipes coming. My 4 year old twins are also huge fans of your food!

Thank you for the recipe. Do you add the marinated tomato/parsley and the sauce at room temperature? Or do you think it is worth putting it in the oven for another 5 minutes to heat?

Oh goodness! I tried this receipe yesterday and this is was I was looking for – simple, delicious and cheap! You are great!
