Loaded Mediterranean Baked Sweet Potatoes

Ingredients

  • 2 large sweet potatoes
  • 1 cup vegetable broth or water
  • ½ cup bulgur
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt divided
  • ½ bunch parsley minced (about ½ packed cup)
  • ¼ cup lemon juice divided
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons minced dill
  • 2 tablespoons minced mint
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ cup tahini
  • 2 garlic cloved minced
  • ¼ cup pomegranate kernels

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Place sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and roast until tender, about 1 hour.
  • In a small saucepan, combine bulgur, broth or water, and ½ teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce heat. Cook bulgur until most of the water is absorbed and grain is tender, about 30 minutes.
  • Drain any excess liquid from bulgur and place in large bowl. Add parsley, 3 tablespoons lemon juice, olive oil, dill, mint, remaining ½ teaspoon salt, and pepper.
  • In a small bowl, combine tahini, garlic, and remaining 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Whisk in enough water to make a smooth consistency, about ⅓ cup. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • To serve, cut sweet potatoes in half lengthwise. Top with bulgur, tahini sauce, and pomegranate seeds.
  • Enjoy!
