Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1 cup diced roasted red peppers (from jar, drained)
- 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 4 cups fresh spinach
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
- For the lemon tahini dressing:
- 1/4 cup tahini
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small garlic clove, minced
- Pinch of salt
- Optional: fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Scrub sweet potatoes and prick with a fork. Rub with 1 tablespoon olive oil and place on a baking sheet. Roast for 45-50 minutes or until tender when pierced with a knife. Let cool slightly.
- While potatoes roast, heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and cook until browned and liquid is released, about 5-7 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more. Add spinach in handfuls, stirring until wilted. Season with oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and stir in roasted red peppers and feta cheese.
- In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, water, olive oil, minced garlic, and salt until smooth. Adjust water to reach desired consistency.
- When sweet potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut a slit down the center of each and gently push ends to open. Fluff the insides with a fork. Divide the spinach-mushroom mixture evenly among the potatoes, stuffing generously.
- Drizzle each stuffed potato with lemon tahini dressing and garnish with fresh parsley if using. Serve warm.
Notes
You can customize the seasonings to taste. For a vegan version, omit the feta and use a dairy-free substitute.
