  • Pickled Red Onions:
  • ½ large red onion sliced thin
  • ½ cup apple cider vinegar

  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar

  • Whipped Tahini Yogurt
  • 7 oz Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons tahini

  • Pre-heat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Line a baking sheet with foil and place sweet potatoes on top. Pierce them in a few places with a knife.

  • When the potatoes are almost ready, heat a large saute pan over medium heat. Add olive oil and heat. Then add chickpeas and saute until chickpeas are hot and start to brown. Add za'atar, cumin and salt and combine.
  • Carefully open the sweet potatoes and drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice. Top with chickpeas, tahini yogurt, pickled red onions, walnuts, and chives. Serve hot!
