Stuffed Sweet Potatoes with Spinach, Mushroom, and Feta is a wholesome, flavorful dish that combines the natural sweetness of roasted sweet potatoes with a savory filling of spinach, mushrooms, and feta. This healthy, vegetarian meal is easy to make, gluten-free, and perfect as a light lunch, side dish, or main course.
For the Stuffed Sweet Potatoes:
4 medium sweet potatoes
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
8 oz mushrooms, sliced
4 cups fresh spinach (about 4 handfuls)
1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
Salt and pepper, to taste
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prick the sweet potatoes a few times with a fork and place them on a baking sheet. Roast for 40-50 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.
While the sweet potatoes are roasting, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add garlic and sliced mushrooms, cooking for 5-6 minutes until the mushrooms release their moisture and become golden.
Add spinach to the skillet and stir until wilted (about 2 minutes). Season with salt and pepper.
Once the sweet potatoes are roasted and tender, slice them open lengthwise and gently fluff the insides with a fork.
Spoon the spinach and mushroom mixture into each sweet potato and top with crumbled feta cheese.
Serve immediately, and enjoy the savory, creamy filling paired with the natural sweetness of the roasted sweet potatoes.
