Ingredients

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oi
  • 1 tin 400g chickpeas, drained
  • 50 g feta crumbled
  • 2 spring onion diced
  • 1 red chili diced
  • 1 handful ~½ cup fresh parsley, diced
  • 1 handful ~½ cup fresh cilantro, diced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

Method

  1. Prick your sweet potatoes a few times with a fork, then rub them with the olive oil and wrap in foil.
  2. Bake in the air fryer at 200C (395F) for 30 minutes, or in the oven for 1 hour, or until a knife slides easily into the sweet potato.
  3. Once cooked, slice the potatoes down the middle and lightly mash the inside with a fork.
  4. Layer over the chickpeas, feta, herbs, spring onion, seasonings, and red chili. Drizzle with a little more olive oil and dig in!

Notes

You could add the chickpeas to the air fryer in the last 10 minutes of cooking to crisp them up, but I quite like the creamy contrast cold chickpeas straight from the tin add to this dish! Omit the chili if you don't like spice.
