Prep time: 25 min.

Cook time: 1 h

Serves: 4

Ingredients

4 medium-sized sweet potatoes
2-3 small leeks
1 bunch Swiss chard (or 1 bag frozen chard)
2 15.5 oz cans chickpeas
3 cloves garlic
4 tsp. curry powder
High heat cooking oil
Salt and pepper
Optional: chopped fresh cilantro and/or parsley + lime wedges for garnish

For Coconut-Lime Crema:

4 oz. plain coconut yogurt (try Cocojune!)
2 tsp. tahini
1 lime
¼ tsp salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°F. Prick sweet potatoes all over with a fork and place on baking sheet. Bake for 1 hour or until tender.

Step 2

Meanwhile, rinse, drain and dry chickpeas. Toss with 2 tbsp. oil, 1 tsp. salt, and 4 tsp. curry powder and spread on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Add to oven and bake until crispy (about 45 minutes).

Step 3

Prep vegetables. Trim leeks and slice lengthwise. De-stem chard leaves. Cut leeks and stems in ¼ in. slices. Cut chard greens into 1 in. ribbons. Mince garlic. Heat 2 tsp. oil in Dutch oven or saute pan with lid on low heat. Add leeks and saute for 5 minutes, before adding stems and garlic. Cook for 5 more minutes. Add chard, stir and cover. Cook for an additional 10 minutes. Turn off heat and leave covered.

Step 4

To make the coconut-lime crema, combine yogurt, tahini, the juice of 1 lime, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl.

Step 5

Assemble loaded sweet potatoes! Slice baked sweet potatoes lengthwise. Stuff with greens and crispy chickpeas. Served with a dollop of coconut-lime crema, fresh cilantro or parsley, and a wedge of lime.
