Mediterranean Baked Sweet Potatoes

Honestly, I thought I wouldn’t like this because I’m not a huge fan of sweet potatoes. Well, I was wrong. This is delicious and I’m adding it to my regular lunch meal prep rotation. I used tahini instead of hummus for the sauce and an obscene amount of garlic. My husband is vegetarian and we struggle to find recipes we both like. If you cook the sweet potatoes cut side down (which I did accidentally), they taste like you cooked them on a BBQ which is actually pretty tasty.

Great recipe!

So delicious. This is one of my new favorite lunches. I did not have red onion or fresh herbs, so used green onion & dried parsley instead. Also, I added my dry spices to the chickpeas after cooking them – but that’s just how I usually make them. There are so many ways to use this meal (in wraps or over a bed of greens, for example.) Thanks!

So yummy!!! Thank you ❤️

I really enjoyed this! The chickpeas and sauce are a great filling for a wrap also.

This is a new favorite recipe for me! We added cucumbers to the tomato-parsley mixture, and also lined our bowls with kale and quinoa. Super tasty and healthy. Thank you for posting this recipe.

I don’t comment often on recipes online as I appreciate people who’ve invested the energy to give us a new dish.

This however, is the worst thing I’ve made in my 44 years on this planet. It is bitter/garlicky, just plain off putting.

Avoid this recipe like the plague. It’s absolutely horribly awful in every way possible.

Beautiful recipe!
I quartered the sweet potatoes, and added feta crumbles for serving.
My husband’s new favourite dinner, hands down!

Very tasty. I roasted the potatoes and chickpeas for 30 minutes. The roasting time was missing from the recipe.

So good!!! I made the sauce with tahini and instead of the tomato topping, I did pomegranates and feta. This is a keeper!

This was great! Loved the sweet and savory flavors together. I added some capers to the toppings for a tiny bit of salty. I’ll definitely put this in the dinner rotation!

This recipe was amazing!! I’m so happy I tried it. I made it on a night that nothing but sweet potatoes sounded good- and it was absolutely perfect. Super easy, great delicious flavors, and quite hands off for how delicious it was. :) Thank you for sharing!!! Your recipes are always amazing, and this one is no exception. If you’re reading this wondering if you should try it- DO IT!!!

Very good and easy to make!

This was absolutely phenomenal!! It is one of my favorite recipes of all time. Thank you!

Easy and Epic. I had been meaning to try this recipe for some time and I am SO GLAD that I did. Thanks for a great quick and easy recipe.

This is a delicious and easy dinner. We loved the flavor combinations and mediterranean inspiration.

Wanted a healthy lunch and to use up my sweet potatoes before they went bad & came across this recipe. It was so good! Loved the flavor pairings. I’m usually pretty basic when it comes to sweet potatoes, but this was a fun try. I detest chickpeas lol so I swapped for couscous (used the same spices). I’d definitely make this again and probably add some feta cheese next time.

I made this recipe. The flavor combinations didn’t work for me.

Delicious. I have tried many of your recipes and I have yet to try one I did not like. I made a directed except I eyeballed the ingredients for the parsley salad. I never would have thought to put lemon on a sweet potato. I meant to take a picture but after the first bite, the rest disappeared.

I made this, was tasty but the chick peas did come out a little dry.. but apart from that I’d make it again

I just finished making this and all the components were easy to make but I cannot see that anyone could make this in 5 minutes as stated. You have vegtables (sweet pot/garlic/lemon/tomatoes/onions to clean and cut, a sauce to make and the chickpeas to spice. My prep time was an hour and I work fairly quickly. That aside, I am excited to put it together and try it (later today). Thank you for this healthy and delicious recipe. Sorry I can’t rate as I haven’t eat it yet, the sauce is amazing though!

I loved this recipe. It was fun to make.I am new to Mediterranean cuisine. The sauce was definitely favorite part. Very creative recipe. The only bad thing was the chickpeas came out really dry. Not sure if that is how they are or I missed something. Thank you for the recipe.

We will definitely be making this again!
We pealed the baked sweet potatoes and sliced them before removing from the pan. Then we added a bed of shredded cabbage to the bowl before placing the potatoes slices on top. I accidentally doubled the spice measurements but the chickpeas were great and the lemon garlic Tahini sauce was the star of the dish!
Thank you for a spectacular meal!

I just made these today and they were delicious. I followed the recipe as it was and my taste buds couldn’t be more satisfied.

Amazing sweet potatoes! Our new favourite recipe!

I love it!!!!!! I made it yesterday, and I really enjoyed this meal. A change: I used a Greek yogurt-base sauce that I had already made the day before (Greek yogurt, salt, pepper, garlic, lemon, dry mint, and olive oil.) I loved some much how the garbanzo beans turn out; I think next time I will roast two cans, so I can have plenty.
I will make it again and again, for sure!

This is THE dish my very carnivorous son ASKS for!!! Served it to vegetarian friends and they said it was as good as eating in a restaurant! Full of different textures and flavors!!! The only thing I never get right is the hummus sauce. I always have to add water because it’s to thick and a dab of maple syrup (From Quebec, I add a touch of it every where! ;-) )because mine is always bitter. Maybe it’s the type of tahini I buy…
Thank you for all your wonderfull recipes!

Amazing! The only thing I have changed – added a feta (mixed with olive oil and zaatar) on the potatoes just in the end… So not vegan anymore – but so testy ! Thank you for the idea – saved my family dinner!

This is so good and so filling! I used just one large sweet potato and made 2 larger portions as a meal… I left out the tomatoes and it was still perfect. I will definitely be adding this to my rotation of vegetarian meals!

I love this unique combination of flavors! However, I’m not used to the strong flavor of raw garlic and will probably try garlic powder instead next time. Thanks for sharing your creative recipes!

Loved the recipe but the video shows adding a red onion to the topping which makes everything so much better. Unfortunately it’s left out of the ingredients, and I would have missed it entirely if I didn’t watch the video. It’s such a small request, but I’d love to see it added so when I come back to the recipe in the future I’ll be able to shop accordingly.

Thank you for the great recipe and the matching video!

This was wonderful! Only change I will make in future is to reduce the cinnamon a little bit. Thank you so much for kindly sharing your amazing recipes MB! I love your enthusiasm; always very inspiring and interesting. 😊

This is a really simple, straightforward recipe that tastes good. I didn’t have time to cook our raw chickpeas so those didn’t get added, and we decided to skip the chili sauce. This is great as a main dish if you can add some tofu and veggies somewhere otherwise perfect for a side dish. I have never roasted sweet potato so quickly!

This is one of my all-time favorite recipes! I make it many times a year and have been making it for ages since I first tried it years ago. It just has such a good balance of flavors, textures, and colors + it’s healthy and nutritional, just everything you need in a meal.

I personally always use the tahini in the sauce instead of hummus and it’s so good I could marry it! Also usually I skip the parsley from the tomatoes and just use green onions for the topping but it’s just as nice.

This also made me change my mind about dill which I am so grateful for! Dill has become a staple in many of my dips and marinades because of this recipe. Great job and many thanks!

Made this tonight for dinner. It was so so good! My husband said he was going to put the hummus-sauce in his coffee, he loved it so much. Thx for the great recipe!

Absolutely delicious and easy to cook.

Really enjoyed this one! I topped with tomatoes, cilantro, pickled onions and vegan feta. Yum! I’ll definitely keep this one in rotation.

Wow! This was absolutely delicious. All the parts come together for one amazing outcome. The garlic hummus sauce balances out the sweetness of the potato while the roasted chickpeas add a yummy crunch. I love the tomatoes on top for a blast of freshness. 10/10 Will make again.

I’ve made this probably a dozen times now and I love it every time. It is so comforting, filling, and fresh. Thank you!!

This is one of my staple dinners. I love this recipe! Easy to make, very flavorful and easy to prep so all you have to do I bake the sweet potatoes.

This is such a great recipe that is quick and easy to make. The garlic herb sauce is sensational. I felt full and content after eating this tasty meal. I didn’t have any parsley so used coriander instead and was still delicious :) Thanks for sharing!

This was fantastic! I used tahini and added the cherry tomatoes and parsley. WOW! Definitely felt like some out of an Yotam Ottolenghi cookbook but so much easier. I will make this again and again and again for my vegan and non-vegan friends/family.
