Can I make Mediterranean Stuffed Sweet Potatoes in advance?

What can I substitute for feta cheese?

If you're looking to substitute feta due to dietary restrictions, try using a dairy-free cheese or a bit of hummus for creaminess.

You can add grilled chicken, quinoa, or even more chickpeas to increase the protein content without compromising flavor.

Feel free to get creative! Adding roasted peppers, spinach, or even artichoke hearts can enhance the flavor profile.
