Description

A cozy and healthy dish featuring sweet potatoes stuffed with a creamy mixture of mushrooms, spinach, and tahini.


Ingredients

  • 2 small sweet potatoes
  • 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. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Poke holes in the sweet potatoes and place them on a baking tray. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until tender.
  3. Meanwhile, warm a pan over medium heat and sauté the diced onion until translucent.
  4. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until tender.
  5. Stir in the crushed garlic and spinach, cooking until the spinach wilts.
  6. Remove from heat and mix in tahini, nutritional yeast, salt, pepper, lemon juice, and optional cayenne pepper.
  7. Once the sweet potatoes are tender, cut them in half and scoop out some flesh.
  8. Combine the sweet potato flesh with the filling, then spoon it back into the potato skins.
  9. Return the stuffed sweet potatoes to the oven for another 10-15 minutes.

Notes

For added crunch, consider topping the potatoes with breadcrumbs or nuts before the final bake.
