Method
 

Step 1: Prepare Sweet Potatoes
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and scrub the sweet potatoes under running water. Pierce them several times with a fork, rub with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt. Bake for 45-60 minutes until tender.
Step 2: Cook Filling
  1. Heat a skillet over medium heat with a splash of olive oil. Sauté diced onion for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, and chili powder for 1 minute. Mix in black beans and chickpeas, cooking for 5-7 minutes until heated through.
Step 3: Make Tahini Sauce
  1. In a bowl, combine tahini, lemon juice, maple syrup, and garlic powder. Whisk until blended, adding cold water until smooth. Adjust flavors as necessary.
Step 4: Assemble and Serve
  1. Slice each baked sweet potato down the center, fluffing the insides with a fork. Spoon the bean mixture into the potatoes and drizzle with tahini sauce. Serve warm.
