Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Wash and scrub sweet potatoes, prick with a fork, and place on a baking sheet.
Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.
While baking, heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat and sauté garlic for 30 seconds.
Add spinach and cook for 2–3 minutes until wilted. Add mushrooms or onions if using.
Once sweet potatoes are done, slice them open and fluff the inside with a fork.
Spoon the spinach mixture into the sweet potatoes and top with crumbled feta.
Return to the oven for 5 minutes to warm through and slightly melt the cheese.
Serve warm, optionally topped with sliced avocado.

Notes

Use Garnet or Jewel sweet potatoes for the best flavor and texture.
Add chickpeas or black beans for extra protein.
Swap feta for a vegan cheese or hummus for a dairy-free version.
Reheat in oven or microwave, but avoid freezing due to texture changes.
Prepare components ahead for easy meal assembly.
