- 540-mL can chickpeas , drained and rinsed
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp sweet paprika
- 1/2 tsp salt , divided

- Stir sour cream with chives and remaining 1/4 tsp salt in a small bowl. To serve, cut an X along the top of each potato. Push from both ends until the flesh pops out slightly. Fluff the flesh with a fork. Scoop 1/4 cup sour cream mixture onto each potato. Top with roasted chickpeas and sprinkle with crispy onions. If desired, garnish with additional paprika and more chives
and serve with a green salad.
Kitchen tip
If your sweet potatoes are larger than 250 g, you may need to increase microwave cooking time by 2 to 4 more min.
