Description

These Creamy Mushroom and Spinach Stuffed Sweet Potatoes are a delicious and nutritious dish that makes a perfect meal any time of day. With a flavorful filling of mushrooms, spinach, and tahini, these stuffed sweet potatoes are hearty and satisfying.

Ingredients

Sweet Potatoes:

  • 2 small sweet potatoes

Filling:

  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 200g mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 60g spinach
  • 1 heaped tbsp tahini
  • 1 tsp nutritional yeast
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Juice of ½ a small lemon
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Bake the Sweet PotatoesPreheat the oven to 180°C (fan) and line a baking tray with baking paper. Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly, then pierce them a few times with a knife to allow steam to escape. Place the sweet potatoes on the prepared tray and bake for 40 minutes, or until soft when pierced with a fork.
  2. Step 2: Prepare the FillingWhen the sweet potatoes have about 10 minutes left to bake, heat a dash of water or olive oil in a frypan over medium heat. Add the diced onion, sliced mushrooms, and crushed garlic to the pan. Sauté until the mushrooms release their juices and become golden. Stir in the spinach, tahini, nutritional yeast, salt, and pepper. Cook until the spinach is wilted and the mixture becomes creamy. Add the lemon juice and a pinch of cayenne pepper (optional) for a bit of heat. Stir well to combine.
  3. Step 3: Assemble the DishRemove the sweet potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly. Slice each sweet potato lengthwise and fluff the insides with a fork to create space for the filling. Spoon the creamy mushroom and spinach mixture into the sweet potatoes, filling them generously.
  4. Step 4: ServeServe warm as a hearty breakfast or a light, savory meal.
