Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium sweet potatoes (about 2 lbs)
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 1 cup diced mushrooms (cremini or button)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and prick the sweet potatoes with a fork. Bake directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet for 45–50 minutes until tender.
- In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté minced garlic until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Add diced mushrooms; cook until golden brown (about 5 minutes).
- Stir in fresh spinach until wilted (2–3 minutes). Mix in cream cheese and parmesan until combined.
- Slice baked sweet potatoes lengthwise without cutting through, creating pockets. Stuff each potato with the mushroom-spinach filling.
- Return stuffed sweet potatoes to the oven for an additional 10–15 minutes until heated through.
