Yield: 5 Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

Time: 55 minutes

Ingredients:

5 Sweet potatoes
1 5oz can of chickpeas
⅓ cup buffalo sauce
1 tbsp olive oil
Garlic Powder & onion powder to taste
Diced celery
LesserEvil Fiery Hot Popcorn
Ranch Dressing

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.
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 the 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.
Saute 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 and delicious Fiery Hot Popcorn!
