Let’s get to it!
How To Make: Spinach and Feta Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
Start out by roasting your sweet potatoes. The total time needed here may vary slightly based on the size of your potatoes, but it should only take about 45 minutes. Prick a few holes all around with a fork to allow steam to escape as they cook. Once they’re fork tender take them out and slice open the middles until they’re ready to stuff.
The filling is simple to make and made up of only seven ingredients. Start out by sautéing the garlic on a little bit of olive oil. Cook a minute or two until fragrant then add in the spinach and lemon juice. Cook until the spinach is reduced down and then stir in the sun dried tomatoes, beans and feta.
At this point it’s just a matter of adding the filling and serving. Top with a little more feta for good measure and enjoy!
Altogether these Spinach and Feta Stuffed Sweet Potatoes can be made and ready in about an hour – most of that time is hands off.
Enjoy!
