Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 large sweet potatoes scrubbed and cleaned
- 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 1 cup feta cheese crumbled
- 2 cups spinach fresh, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Place the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until tender.
- While the sweet potatoes are baking, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped spinach and sauté until wilted.
- Once the sweet potatoes are cooked, let them cool slightly. Cut each sweet potato in half lengthwise and scoop out some of the flesh, leaving a thin layer to maintain structure.
- Mix the scooped-out sweet potato flesh with cooked spinach, crumbled feta, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Stuff the mixture back into the sweet potato skins, dividing evenly among them.
- Return the stuffed sweet potatoes to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until heated through and slightly golden on top.
Notes
Serve warm with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for an added touch.
