Spinach Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

 This was a delicious way to get 2 vegetable side dishes, into one!  I served this with meat, for my family, but I just ate these alone, as my meal!


Ingredients

  • 5-6 small sweet potatoes
  • 100 g fresh spinach chopped
  • 100 g feta 
  • 1 garlic clove chopped
  • 2 tbsp olive oil plus more for drizzling
  • pepper to taste
  • Instructions

    • Preheat the oven to 400 F/ 200 C/ gas mark 6.  Line a baking tray with parchment paper.  Cut the sweet potatoes in half lengthways and place on the tray cut side up.  Drizzle with a little oil using a basting brush to spread it evenly and bake for 30-35 minutes or until tender. 
    • Remove the potatoes from the oven and using a small spoon or melon baller scoop out the middle (not too much, about 1.5-2 tsp from each half). Combine with the spinach, garlic, feta and 1 tablespoon of the oil, add pepper to taste and blitz the mixture is sticky. Do not overblend.
    • Divide the mixture between the potato halves, drizzle with a little oil and bake for an additional 10 minutes.  Serve hot or cold.
