Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 8 oz fresh button or cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cups fresh spinach, washed
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Scrub the sweet potatoes under cold water and pat dry.
- Place the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 45-60 minutes until fork-tender.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, sauté minced garlic until fragrant, then add sliced mushrooms and cook until browned. Add spinach and cook until wilted.
- Lower heat and mix in softened cream cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Once baked, slice open each sweet potato lengthwise without cutting all the way through. Fluff the insides with a fork and spoon in the mushroom-spinach filling.
