  • 4 medium sweet potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced

  • 4 cups fresh baby spinach
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Scrub the sweet potatoes clean and pierce each several times with a fork to allow steam to escape.
  • Place the sweet potatoes on the baking sheet and roast for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a knife slides easily into the center.
  • While the potatoes roast, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for 6 to 8 minutes until the liquid has evaporated and the mushrooms are golden brown.
  • Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Add the fresh baby spinach in batches, tossing until completely wilted.
  • Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper.
  • Simmer the mixture for 2 to 3 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly.
  • Once the sweet potatoes are finished, slice them lengthwise and gently fluff the insides with a fork.
  • Divide the creamy mushroom and spinach mixture evenly among the four sweet potatoes and serve immediately.
