Cook Time: 50 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes
Servings: 4

 

Ingredients

For the Sweet Potatoes:

4 medium sweet potatoes

For the Filling:

1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cups fresh spinach
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
Salt and black pepper to taste

Optional Garnish:

Extra rosemary for fragrance and flavor

 

Instructions

Step 1: Roast the Sweet Potatoes

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Using a fork, pierce each sweet potato multiple times to allow steam to escape.
Place the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and roast for 45-50 minutes or until they are fork-tender.

Step 2: Prepare the Filling

In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Once hot, add the sliced mushrooms and cook for about 5-6 minutes until they turn golden brown.
Add the 2 cups of fresh spinach and 1 teaspoon of finely chopped rosemary to the skillet, sautéing until the spinach wilts.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 3: Stuff the Sweet Potatoes

After roasting, carefully slice each sweet potato open down the center.
Gently fluff the insides with a fork to create space for the filling.
Generously spoon the sautéed spinach and mushroom mixture into each sweet potato.

Step 4: Add the Feta

Top each stuffed sweet potato with 1/2 cup of crumbled feta cheese.

Step 5: Serve

Serve the stuffed sweet potatoes immediately.
Optionally, garnish with extra rosemary for an aromatic touch.
