2 ounces, weight Light Cream Cheese
¼ cups Light Sour Creamcream
1 cup Chickpeaschickpea

1 Tablespoon Oil, Or As Neededoil
¼ cups Shredded Mozzarella Cheesemozzarella

Instructions (5 steps)

01Bake sweet potatoes at 350ºF for 45-60 minutes, or until fork tender.
02Cut sweet potatoes in half and let cool for 5-10 minutes. While sweet potatoes are cooling, saute the shallots with the butter over medium heat until translucent. Add fresh spinach and heat for 2-3 minutes, until spinach has cooked down. Set aside.
03Scrape the sweet potato out of the skins, leaving a thin layer inside with the skin so that it can stand up on its own. Mash the sweet potato with the cream cheese and sour cream. Stir in chickpeas, spinach, and salt and pepper to taste.

04Coat potato skins with a drizzle of oil and bake for about 5 minutes to get a crispier outside. Remove from the oven and fill each skin with the sweet potato mixture. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese. Bake again for 10-15 minutes, or until cheese is melted and filling is heated through.
