Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1.6 lb sweet potatoes about 2 large
  • 1.25 tbsp olive oil
  • 0.67 cup yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 tsp garlic, minced
  • 6 oz baby spinach
  • 0.75 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1.5 tbsp lemon juice fresh-squeezed if possible
  • 0.5 tsp dried oregano
  • 0.25 tsp red pepper flakes adjust for heat
  • 0.75 tsp kosher salt divided
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt for serving
  • 2 tbsp fresh dill or parsley, chopped plus more to garnish

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Heat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with foil.
  • Scrub and dry sweet potatoes. Pierce all over, rub with a little olive oil, and set on the sheet.
  • Bake until tender when pierced, 45–55 minutes depending on size. Let cool slightly.
  • Warm remaining olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Soften onion for 3–4 minutes, then stir in garlic for 30 seconds.
  • Add spinach and cook, stirring, until wilted, 2–3 minutes. Season with oregano, red pepper flakes, half the salt, and pepper.
  • Halve sweet potatoes lengthwise. Gently scoop some flesh into a bowl, leaving sturdy shells.
  • Mash potato flesh with lemon juice. Fold in spinach mixture and most of the feta. Adjust salt to taste.
  • Spoon filling back into skins. Return to oven and warm through, 8–10 minutes.
  • Top with a dollop of yogurt, remaining feta, and herbs. Serve hot.

Notes

Variation: Swap kale for spinach (chop finely and sauté a minute longer). Try goat cheese instead of feta, or add a few chopped sun-dried tomatoes for tang.
Storage: Refrigerate stuffed potatoes in an airtight container up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven until warm.
