  • Preheat the oven to 200º C. Make small holes with a fork in the sweet potatoes to allow steam to escape during cooking.
  • Cook the sweet potatoes directly on the oven rack for 45 minutes or until tender. You can place a container underneath to avoid getting the bottom of the oven dirty with any drips that may occur during cooking.
  • Heat a small pot over medium heat and add the well-rinsed and drained quinoa to toast it for 3 to 5 minutes. Then, add water, a pinch of sea salt, and the juice of half a lemon. Simmer and cover the pot with a lid. Cook for 20 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed and the quinoa has a fluffy consistency.
  • Remove from heat and season again with another pinch of sea salt and a little ground cumin. Stir well and set aside.
  • Prepare the avocado sauce by blending it with lemon juice, cumin, salt, and honey. Add water only if necessary to make blending easier.
  • Cut the sweet potatoes in half lengthwise and fill them with the quinoa mixture. Top with a tablespoon of avocado sauce. Also, if you prefer, you can mix both before filling the sweet potatoes for a creamier texture.
