For the Garlic Mushroom & Spinach Filling:

Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Sweet Potatoes
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Bake the Sweet Potatoes: Pierce each sweet potato several times with a fork. Place them on a lined baking sheet and bake for 45-60 minutes, or until they are soft and fork-tender.
Step 2: Make the Filling
- Sauté the Mushrooms: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and tender.
- Add Garlic & Spinach: Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute. Then, add fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
- Season the Filling: Stir in salt, black pepper, and dried oregano. Remove from heat.
Step 3: Stuff the Sweet Potatoes
- Slice & Scoop: Once baked, remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly. Cut them in half lengthwise and scoop out a small portion of the flesh to create a well for the filling.
- Fill the Potatoes: Spoon the garlic mushroom and spinach mixture into each sweet potato half.
- Top with Feta: Sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese.
Step 4: Final Baking
- Return to the Oven: Place the stuffed sweet potatoes back on the baking sheet.
- Bake Again: Bake for 10-15 minutes, until heated through and the feta cheese is slightly melted.
Step 5: Garnish & Serve
- Add Fresh Herbs: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and flavor.
- Serve Warm: Enjoy immediately!
