# Directions:
01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Prick sweet potatoes several times with a fork, rub with olive oil and salt, then place on a baking sheet. Roast for 40 to 50 minutes until tender when pierced.
02 - Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add drained chickpeas, smoked paprika, and black pepper. Sauté for 2 to 3 minutes until fragrant.
03 - Stir in BBQ sauce and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and evenly coat the chickpeas. Remove from heat and set aside.
04 - In a large bowl, combine shredded red cabbage, shredded carrots, and fresh cilantro. In a separate small bowl, whisk together apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss the dressing with slaw vegetables until thoroughly coated.
05 - Once sweet potatoes are tender, slice each one open lengthwise and fluff the insides with a fork. Spoon BBQ chickpeas generously into each sweet potato cavity.
06 - Top each stuffed sweet potato with prepared slaw. Garnish with sliced green onions, fresh cilantro leaves, and additional BBQ sauce as desired. Serve immediately while warm.
