Ingredients

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

Instructions

1. Roast the Sweet Potatoes:

  • 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.

2. Prepare the Filling:

  • 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.

3. Stuff the Sweet Potatoes:

  • 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.

4. Serve:

  • Serve immediately, and enjoy the savory, creamy filling paired with the natural sweetness of the roasted sweet potatoes.
