Description

A nourishing dish that combines the sweetness of sweet potatoes with savory spinach and mushrooms, perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium sweet potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced (such as cremini or button)
  • 4 cups fresh spinach
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional: feta cheese or grated parmesan, for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Pierce each sweet potato with a fork and place on a baking sheet. Bake for about 45 minutes, or until tender.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  4. Stir in the garlic and sliced mushrooms, cooking for an additional 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms are browned and have released their moisture.
  5. Add the spinach to the skillet, cooking until wilted. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Slice the cooked sweet potatoes open and fluff the insides with a fork. Fill each potato with the spinach and mushroom mixture, topping with cheese if desired.
  7. Return to the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes to warm through and melt the cheese, if using.

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days. Reheat in a 350°F (175°C) oven or microwave.
