Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
- 4 cups fresh spinach
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and prick the sweet potatoes with a fork. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast for 40-45 minutes, or until tender when pierced.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
- Add minced garlic and mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until mushrooms are browned.
- Stir in spinach and cook for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Season with salt and pepper.
- Once sweet potatoes are done, let them cool for a few minutes. Slice them lengthwise and fluff the insides with a fork.
- Stuff each sweet potato with the spinach, mushroom, and feta mixture.
- Serve immediately, garnished with extra feta or fresh herbs if desired.
Notes
- Add protein by topping with grilled chicken, turkey, or chickpeas.
- Feel free to swap feta with goat cheese, ricotta, or cheddar.
- Spice it up by adding red pepper flakes or hot sauce.
- Use fresh thyme, oregano, or basil instead of spinach for variety.
