Ingredients
  

  • 4 medium sweet potatoes rinsed and scrubbed
  • 10 oz 280g frozen chopped spinach, thawed
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup mushrooms

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Using a fork, pierce each sweet potato several times. Place them directly on the middle rack of the oven. (Tip: Place a foil-lined sheet pan on the rack below the potatoes to catch any drips.)
  • Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes can be easily pierced by a fork.
  • Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and let them cool until they can be handled.
  • While the sweet potatoes cool, use paper towels to press out as much liquid as possible from the thawed spinach.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the drained spinach, cilantro, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, feta cheese, and mushrooms; mix well.
  • Once the sweet potatoes have cooled, slice each potato lengthwise.
  • Scoop out most of the sweet potato, leaving the skins intact. Add the scooped-out sweet potato to the bowl with the spinach mixture; stir until well combined.
  • Stuff the sweet potato skins with the spinach and feta mixture.
  • Place the stuffed sweet potatoes on a foil-lined baking sheet and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes. Serve hot.
