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.
