Roasted Chickpea Stuffed Sweet Potatoes with Creamy Tahini Sauce

I am always looking to create meals that encompass both simplicity and big flavors.

Tortilla pizzas and simple pasta dishes are often my go-to meals for those days that I just don’t feel like making a mess in the kitchen.  Leftovers are always an option, but I generally like to incorporate at least some cooking in my meal preparation to wind down and do what I love.  The solution?  My current favorite is stuffed sweet potatoes!Naturally loaded with Vitamin A, fiber, potassium, B-vitamins and powerful antioxidants, simple sweet potatoes make the perfect base for a nourishing meal.  Load them up with a nice source of protein and your favorite flavorings, and you are good to go!This simple recipe was inspired by my mother’s countless (often strange) stuffed sweet potato meal combinations.  She often sent me photos of her meals of sweet potatoes stuffed with her favorite leftovers while I was away at college.  Although they all weren’t necessarily combinations that I would make, they inspired me to get creative with combinations that I would enjoy.

The following recipe includes scrumptious oven-roasted chickpeas, yummy flavorings and a creamy sauce that work together in a truly beautiful way.  Feel free to get creative and substitute and add your favorite ingredients to make the ultimate, easy stuffed sweet potatoes for your taste buds!
