Absolutely. Green or red lentils would also work well. Red lentils will have a softer, mushier texture, while green lentils will hold their shape more like brown lentils.
For best results, store the baked sweet potato, the filling, and the tahini sauce in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat and assemble just before serving.
