Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cups mushrooms, sliced (cremini or button)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups fresh spinach
- 1 ripe avocado, diced
- 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional: red pepper flakes, lemon juice, fresh herbs
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pierce sweet potatoes with a fork and bake on a sheet for 45–60 minutes, until tender.
- In a skillet over medium heat, warm olive oil. Add onion and cook 3–4 minutes until translucent.
- Add mushrooms and sauté until browned and moisture has evaporated, about 6–8 minutes.
- Stir in garlic and cook 1 more minute.
- Add spinach and cook just until wilted. Season with salt and pepper.
- Slice open baked sweet potatoes lengthwise and fluff the insides with a fork.
- Divide the spinach and mushroom mixture evenly among the sweet potatoes.
- Top each with crumbled feta and diced avocado.
- Optional: add a drizzle of olive oil, a squeeze of lemon, or a sprinkle of chili flakes.
- Serve warm or cool and store for later.
Notes
- For extra protein, add chickpeas, black beans, or grilled chicken.
- Make it vegan by omitting feta or using a vegan alternative.
- Try different greens like kale or arugula instead of spinach.
- Top with balsamic glaze, tahini, or toasted seeds for more flavor and crunch.
- Double the sautéed veggie filling and use leftovers for quick lunches.
