Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Wrap the sweet potatoes in aluminum foil and cook for 25 minutes or until tender.
In the meantime, in a small salad bowl, mix together the chickpeas, almonds, coconut oil, smoked paprika, curry, salt and pepper. Spread mixture evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 15 minutes.
Once baked, toss the roasted chickpeas and almonds with the rice and adjust seasoning to taste.
Chop the almonds in chunks.
Cut the sweet potatoes in half, lengthwise, and remove about 2 tablespoons of potato to create a crevace for the stuffing.
Mash and season with salt and pepper the potato you've just removed then put it back into the potato.
Garnish with a few tablespoons of the roasted chickpeas, almonds and rice mixture. Top with a bit of roquette lettuce, a pinch of smoked paprika and a generous drizzle of avocado and cilantro sauce.
