Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Prick potatoes all over with a fork. Microwave on high for 10 minutes, turning halfway through, until flesh is tender when pierced.

  2. Step 2

    While potatoes cook, toss chickpeas with 1 tbsp olive oil and salt. Spread on a small sheet pan and roast at 425°F for 6 minutes until edges crisp.

  3. Step 3

    Split each potato lengthwise. Fluff the insides with a fork and season with salt and pepper.

  4. Step 4

    Top each potato half with a handful of shredded cheese, then dollop with 3 tbsp yogurt per half.

  5. Step 5

    Scatter crispy chickpeas and fresh herbs over each potato. Finish with a pinch of chili flakes or sumac.

  6. Step 6

    Serve immediately while potatoes are still hot and cheese is melted.
