    Curry chickpea stuffed baked sweet potatoes, healthy, gluten-free and delicious vegan dinner recipe.

    Sweet potatoes are on the menu again. This time baked in the oven, stuffed with curry chickpea creamy sunflower seed filling.


    Sunflower seeds are the new cashews. If you are allergic to nuts, you can still make creamy vegan sauces, using sunflower seeds.
    Blending sunflower seeds in a high-speed blender with different spices and herbs and you'll get amazing gluten-free and vegan sauces, spreads, soups, salad dressings, etc. They are neutral in taste and therefore versatile.


    If you don't have a high-speed blender, soaking the sunflower seeds for a couple of hours will make them easier to blend.

      I don’t see where the chickpeas are added. Are they blended or mashed? Thanks for clarifying.

      This was very delicious and filling. We opted to cook the red pepper and onions rather than leave them raw. So glad we did! Added 2 tsp. of curry and and extra 1/2 T. of white miso to up the flavor level. We loved this meal. Thinking about adding some green peas to the next version for some added color and nutrients.

        I´m glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the comment, Sue!
        Adding green peas sounds delicious, and more color and nutrients is always a nice plus.
