Print Recipe

Delicious stuffed sweet potatoes packed with spinach, mushrooms, and feta cheese. A nutritious and hearty vegetarian meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 sweet potatoes
  • ½ sweet yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 cups mushrooms, sliced
  • 3 cups fresh spinach
  • Juice of ½ lemon
  • ⅔ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • French fried onions (to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon butter (for mashing)
  • 1 tablespoon oregano
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • Fresh thyme (to taste)
  • Balsamic glaze (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Pierce the sweet potatoes with a fork and bake for 45–50 minutes or until they are tender.
  2. While the sweet potatoes are baking, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat.
  3. Sauté the onions until they are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add the mushrooms and cook until they are browned, about 6–8 minutes.
  5. Stir in the spinach, oregano, garlic powder, and thyme. Cook until the spinach is wilted. Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice.
  6. Once the sweet potatoes are done, slice them open and gently mash the insides with 1 tablespoon of butter.
  7. Fill each sweet potato with the sautéed mixture and top with crumbled feta.
  8. Sprinkle French fried onions on top and drizzle with balsamic glaze, if using.
  9. Serve warm.

Notes

For a bit of spice, add crushed red pepper flakes to the sautéed mixture. You can substitute goat cheese or mozzarella for the feta if preferred. Make sure to pierce the sweet potatoes properly before baking.
