Mediterranean Stuffed Sweet Potatoes are a hearty, vibrant dish that combines roasted sweet potatoes with a fresh Mediterranean salad of tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, and feta. It’s wholesome, customizable, and packed with flavor, perfect for lunch, dinner, or meal prep.

Ingredients

  • 2–4 medium sweet potatoes
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cucumber, diced
  • 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/3 cup Kalamata olives, sliced
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley or mint, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional: hummus or tzatziki for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash the sweet potatoes and pierce them several times with a fork.
  2. Place sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and roast for 40–50 minutes, or until tender throughout.
  3. Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, olives, feta, and chopped herbs.
  4. Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper to make a vinaigrette. Toss it with the salad mixture.
  5. Once the sweet potatoes are cooked, let them cool slightly. Slice each one down the center and fluff the inside with a fork.
  6. Spoon the Mediterranean salad mixture over the sweet potatoes.
  7. Drizzle with extra olive oil or top with hummus or tzatziki, if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Swap feta for a vegan alternative to make the dish dairy-free.
  • Add chickpeas, grilled chicken, or falafel for more protein.
  • Top with avocado or roasted red peppers for extra flavor.
  • Try dill or basil instead of parsley/mint for a herb variation.
  • Grill sweet potatoes instead of roasting for a smoky taste.
