Ingredients
  

Buffalo Chickpea Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

  • 5 sweet potatoes (you can use fewer sweet potatoes if you want extra chickpeas for each serving)
  • 1 15 oz can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • cup buffalo sauce (double check for dairy free and no added sugars, I like The New Primal brand)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • garlic powder & onion powder, to taste (optional)

Toppings (Optional)

  • diced celery
  • ranch dressing (my recipe linked above in this blog post)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 425°.
  • Line sweet potatoes on a baking sheet with parchment paper. Poke the top of each sweet potato a few times with a fork.
  • Bake the sweet potatoes for 45 minutes.
  • When your sweet potatoes have 15 minutes left of bake time, add olive oil, buffalo sauce or hot sauce and the drained and rinsed chickpeas to a skillet over medium heat. You can also add any desired spices here, like garlic powder and onion powder, for more flavor if you’d like.
  • Sauté chickpeas for 10 minutes, stirring often.
  • Remove the chickpeas from the heat and take the sweet potatoes out of the oven.
  • When the sweet potatoes are cool to the touch, slice each one to form an opening for the chickpeas, but not cutting all the way through.
  • Fill the sweet potatoes with chickpeas, top with your favorite ranch dressing and finish them off with diced celery.
