Crispy Sweet Potato Skins with Savory Spinach, Mushroom & Feta, Served with Garlic Parmesan Dip

Ingredients:

For the Sweet Potato Skins:

  • 4 medium sweet potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 cups baby spinach, chopped
  • 1 cup mushrooms, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese

For the Garlic Parmesan Dip:

  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Scrub the sweet potatoes clean and pierce each with a fork. Bake for 45-50 minutes until fork tender. Let cool slightly.
  3. Cut each sweet potato in half lengthwise and scoop out most of the flesh, leaving about 1/4-inch thick skins. (Save the flesh for another use.)
  4. Brush inside and outside of the skins with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Return to oven for 10-15 minutes, cut side up, until crispy.
  5. Meanwhile, melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and sauté for 4-5 minutes until browned. Add garlic and spinach; cook until wilted. Stir in oregano, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat.
  6. Spoon the spinach-mushroom mixture evenly into the crispy sweet potato skins. Top with crumbled feta. Return to oven for 5-7 minutes to warm through.
  7. For the dip, mix sour cream, mayonnaise, Parmesan, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Chill for at least 10 minutes.
  8. Serve the sweet potato skins hot with garlic Parmesan dip on the side, garnished with parsley if desired.
