Ingredients
Scale
2 medium sweet potatoes (about 10.5 oz each)
2 tsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup diced mushrooms (5 oz, button or cremini)
1 cup fresh spinach (1 oz)
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese (3.5 oz)
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F. Wash sweet potatoes thoroughly and pierce each several times with a fork. Place directly on oven rack and bake for 45–60 minutes until tender when pierced with a knife.
Once sweet potatoes are cooked, let cool slightly. Slice open lengthwise and gently scoop out most of the flesh, leaving skins intact. Mash scooped potato and fold into the vegetable-cheese mixture.
Fill sweet potato skins with the creamy mushroom-spinach filling. Sprinkle remaining shredded cheese evenly over tops.
Return stuffed potatoes to oven and bake for 10–15 minutes until heated through and cheese is melted and golden.
Serve hot, optionally garnished with fresh herbs such as parsley or thyme.
