Ingredients
For the Stuffed Sweet Potatoes:
- 4 medium sweet potatoes, scrubbed
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small red onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced (button or cremini)
- 4 cups fresh spinach
- 1 tsp chopped fresh rosemary (or 1/2 tsp dried)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
For the Basil Pesto:
- 1 cup fresh basil leaves
- 1/4 cup pine nuts or walnuts
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 garlic clove
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- Salt and lemon juice to taste
Instructions
Step 1: Roast the Sweet Potatoes
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pierce sweet potatoes with a fork, rub with a little olive oil, and place on a baking sheet. Roast for 40–50 minutes, or until soft and fork-tender. Set aside to cool slightly.
Step 2: Make the Filling
While the potatoes roast, heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the diced onion until translucent, then add garlic and mushrooms. Cook until mushrooms release their moisture and start to brown. Add spinach and rosemary; cook until wilted. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat.
Step 3: Make the Basil Pesto
In a food processor or blender, combine basil, nuts, garlic, Parmesan, and a pinch of salt. Pulse while slowly drizzling in the olive oil until the mixture is smooth but still textured. Adjust with lemon juice and more salt to taste.
Step 4: Assemble the Stuffed Potatoes
Slice each sweet potato lengthwise and gently fluff the inside with a fork. Spoon in the spinach-mushroom mixture and top with crumbled feta. Drizzle each potato generously with fresh basil pesto.
