Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cups mushrooms, diced (button or cremini)
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup heavy cream or coconut cream (for a vegan option)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Grated Parmesan cheese (optional for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash the sweet potatoes, poke holes in them with a fork, and place them on a baking sheet. Roast for about 45 minutes, or until tender.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced mushrooms and sauté until browned, about 5 minutes.

- Once the sweet potatoes are done, let them cool slightly. Slice them open lengthwise and fluff the insides with a fork.
