Ingredients

  • 3 Sweet Potatoes
  • 8 Ounces Cremini Mushrooms Sliced
  • 5 Ounces Baby Spinach
  • 1/2 Cup White Onion Diced - Substitute onion powder for sensitive stomachs
  • 1 Teaspoon Garlic Crushed and chopped - Substitute garlic powder for sensitive stomachs
  • 1 Teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 2 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter
  • 1 Tablespoon Olive oil
  • 1/2 Cup Grated Parmesan Cheese

Garnish

  • Flat-Leaf Parsley

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350F
  • Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes, pierce the skin several times with a fork, bake for approximately 1-hour until they can be easily pierced with a knife. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly while you sauté the mushrooms. (Microwaved baked sweet potatoes work just as well.)
  • Heat a covered skillet over medium-high heat, and olive oil and butter, add mushrooms, salt, and pepper, stir frequently
  • After 5 minutes, add the onions and garlic, continue until the mushrooms are brown and the onions are soft
  • Turn off the heat and add the spinach on top, cover and let the spinach gently steam
  • The sweet potatoes should be cool enough to handle, cut each potato in half lengthwise, using a spoon, gently scoop the flesh out of the potato, careful not to damage the skin
  • Add half of the parmesan cheese to the sweet potato flesh and give it a rough mash, add the mixture to the spinach mushroom mixture and combine well
  • Gently spoon the spinach mushroom mixture into the sweet potato skins and line them up on a sheet tray, sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese on top and return to the oven
  • Bake for approximately 15 minutes, until the topping is just turning brown and crispy
  • Garnish with fresh chopped parsley as garnish
