Description
Stuffed Sweet Potatoes with Spinach, Mushroom, Feta, and Rosemary is a wholesome and flavorful meal. The creamy feta, earthy mushrooms, and vibrant spinach inside tender sweet potatoes create a comforting dish that’s perfect for lunch or dinner.
Ingredients
4 medium-sized sweet potatoes
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
2 cups fresh spinach
½ cup crumbled feta cheese
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and poke a few holes in the sweet potatoes with a fork. Place them on a baking sheet and bake for about 45 minutes or until tender.
- While the sweet potatoes bake, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion until translucent.
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes until golden brown. The mushrooms will shrink as they cook.
- Add spinach to the skillet and stir until wilted, about 2 minutes.
- Crumble feta cheese into the skillet and stir in the chopped rosemary. Cook for another minute, mixing well.
- Once the sweet potatoes are baked, slice them down the middle and fluff the insides with a fork.
- Spoon the spinach, mushroom, feta, and rosemary mixture into each sweet potato and serve immediately.
Notes
- Add walnuts or pine nuts to the filling for a crunchy texture.
- Substitute feta with goat cheese or cheddar for different flavors.
- For added heat, sprinkle red pepper flakes or add sun-dried tomatoes to the mix.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days and reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes.
- If using frozen spinach, thaw and squeeze out excess water before adding it to the filling.
