  • 2 medium sweet potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cups spinach
  • 1/2 cup canned chickpeas
  • 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes (chopped)
  • 2 tablespoons kalamata olives (chopped)
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried dill
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Puncture the sweet potatoes with a fork and place them in a baking dish. Bake until soft, and knife slides into the flesh easily, about 35 – 45 minutes depending on the size.
