  • Author: Imili Johnson
  • Total Time: 75 minutes

Ingredients

Scale

For the Sweet Potatoes:

  • 4 medium sweet potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Sautéed Spinach & Mushroom Filling:

  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • ½ cup feta cheese, crumbled

For Garnish:

  • Fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

Step 1: Roast the Sweet Potatoes

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly and pierce them several times with a fork to allow steam to escape.
  3. Roast: Place them on a lined baking sheet and bake for 45-60 minutes, or until fork-tender.

Step 2: Sauté the Filling

  1. Heat Olive Oil: In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Sauté Onion & Mushrooms: Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook for another 5 minutes, until soft.
  3. Add Spinach: Stir in the chopped spinach and cook until wilted.
  4. Season & Add Feta: Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and stir in the crumbled feta cheese.

Step 3: Stuff & Serve

  1. Prepare Sweet Potatoes for Stuffing: Once roasted, allow the sweet potatoes to cool slightly. Cut them in half lengthwise and scoop out a small portion of the flesh to make room for the filling.
  2. Stuff the Sweet Potatoes: Spoon the spinach, mushroom, and feta mixture into each sweet potato half.
  3. Garnish & Serve: Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve warm.
