Method

  1. Preheat oven to 200C/400F.
  2. Slice the sweet potatoes in half lengthwise.
  3. Place the sweet potatoes face done on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake for 45 minutes until tender.
  4. While the potatoes are baking, prepare the filling. Mix together the lentils, tomatoes, cucumber, onions, garlic, mint, parsley, cumin and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. In a small bowl, mix the hummus, lemon juice, and syrup. Add a little water if necessary to thin it to a pourable consistency.
  6. Once the sweet potatoes are baked, flip them over and gently mash the inside with a fork.
  7. Top the sweet potatoes with the lentil tabbouleh. Drizzle generously with the hummus dressing. Sprinkle with paprika and enjoy!
