Ingredients

Scale
  • Baked Sweet Potatoes
  • 1/2 cup dried quinoa
  • 4 medium sweet potatoes
  • 2 Persian cucumbers, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 small shallot, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon zest
  • Tzatziki Sauce
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • Pinch of salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. Cook quinoa according to package directions. Drain if needed and set aside until ready to serve.
  2. Heat oven to 400°F. Scrub the sweet potatoes and pierce each one several times with the tines of a fork. Place sweet potatoes on a lightly greased, rimmed baking sheet. Bake until fork tender all the way through, about 45 minutes. Let stand at room temperature, about 10 minutes or until cool enough to handle.
  3. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together all tzatziki sauce ingredients until smooth.
  4. To serve, split the sweet potatoes lengthwise, top with tzatziki sauce, quinoa, cucumbers, bell pepper, shallot, parsley and lemon zest. Serve warm or at room temperature.
