BUFFALO CHICKPEA STUFFED SWEET POTATOES #vegan #lunch

These wild ox chickpea stuffed yams are the ideal mix of sweet, tart and hot. This formula is veggie lover, sans gluten and simple to make with regular fixings.

These stuffed yams are finished off with avocado, green onion and a tart, veggie lover farm dressing. I know some of you are either sans soy or without nut so I've given two alternatives to make the vegetarian farm: it tends to be made with crude cashews or delicate tofu, both with tasty outcomes.

These are anything but difficult to make and significantly simpler on the off chance that you make the heated yams, chickpeas and dressing ahead of time. When it's completely made, it's simply a question of tossing it all in your prepared yam and delving in. I included avocado for some cool, velvety surface and green onion for a little crunch and additional fly of flavor.

INGREDIENTS
For the Buffalo Chickpeas

• 1 19 oz can of chickpeas, rinsed and drained (or approx. 2 cups or 360 grams cooked chickpeas)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1/3 cup + 1 tbsp buffalo sauce
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp sea salt
• pinch of black pepper

For the Vegan Ranch Dressing

• 1/2 package (150 g) of soft tofu (see notes for substitution)
• 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 1 tbsp water
• 2 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp sea salt
• optional: 2 tbsp of fresh chopped dill, chives or parsley

For the Stuffed Sweet Potato

• 1 small baked sweet potato per person (or half a medium to large-sized)
• 1/4 of an avocado per person
• chopped green onion, for topping

INSTRUCTIONS
To Make the Buffalo Chickpeas

1. Place the rinsed and drained chickpeas in a bowl and mix with 1/3 cup buffalo sauce, the olive, oil, salt and pepper.
2. Cook in a pan until they start to thicken and almost caramelize. This should take about 10 minutes over medium heat, stirring occasionally. As you stir, mash some of them up to create some texture.
3. Once they’re done, mix in the extra 1 tbsp of buffalo sauce.

To Make the Vegan Ranch Dressing

1. Add all ingredients (except the herbs, if you’re using) to a food processor or high-speed blender, or use an immersion blender and mix until smooth and creamy. I like using the single-server portion of my Ninja Blender for this.
2. Add additional water if desired to adjust the consistency.
3. If you’re adding fresh dill or parsley, stir them in once it’s blended.

To Assemble the Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

1. If using, add a handful of fresh spinach to a bowl or plate and place the baked sweet potato on top. Cut the sweet potato in half and open it up a bit so you can add the rest of the ingredients.
2. Add a scoop of chickpeas, sliced avocado, chopped green onion and a drizzle of the vegan ranch dressing.
