Another easy and delicious recipe. My sister made a stuffed chicken dish with spinach and pepperjack cheese. I thought it would be great with sweet potatoes as well. Everyone was skeptical, but they turned out great. I made Spinach and Avocado Stuffed Sweet Potatoes, and they were loved.
I used vegan mozzarella for mine, but pepperjack cheese for Marc. Again bake the potatoes or microwave them, and then stuff. You can bake them again after stuffing them (I have done it once like this) or if you can’t wait just stuff and eat.
It may seem like an odd combination, but the spinach and avocado pair well with the sweet potato, and the leftovers taste great for breakfast. Yes, I may have done that. A well rounded meal, with vitamin A from the sweet potatoes, some greens, and healthy fat. Yum!! Calories you don’t have to feel guilty about. And a recipe everyone can enjoy.
The spinach avocado mixture is good enough to eat by itself.
