Creamy Mushroom and Spinach Stuffed Sweet Potatoes: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe

  • Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes

Ingredients

– 4 medium sweet potatoes
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 onion, finely chopped
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 8 ounces cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
– 4 cups fresh spinach
– ½ cup cream cheese, softened
– ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1 teaspoon dried thyme
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Optional: red pepper flakes for heat

Instructions

Creating Creamy Mushroom and Spinach Stuffed Sweet Potatoes is simple when you follow these easy steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Bake Sweet Potatoes: Pierce each sweet potato several times with a fork. Place them on a baking sheet and bake for 45-50 minutes or until tender.
3. Sauté Onion and Garlic: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
4. Add Mushrooms: Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook for an additional 5 minutes or until the mushrooms are browned and tender.
5. Add Spinach: Add fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
6. Combine Filling: Remove the skillet from heat. Add the cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, thyme, salt, and pepper to the mushroom mixture. Stir until well combined.
7. Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Once the sweet potatoes are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Carefully slice them in half lengthwise.
8. Stuff Sweet Potatoes: Gently scoop out some of the flesh to create space for the filling. Fill each sweet potato half with the creamy mushroom and spinach mixture.
9. Final Bake: Return the stuffed sweet potatoes to the oven for an additional 10-15 minutes to heat through and lightly brown the tops.
10. Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
