Stuffed sweet potatoes are a delicious and easy dish to make , and the best part is that you can adapt the filling with your favorite ingredients or whatever you have in the fridge. It's as simple as baking them to cook them through, opening them up, and filling them with a mixture that complements the sweetness inside.

To fill the sweet potato, we've opted for vegetarian ingredients: mushrooms, spring onions, and mozzarella cheese, which gives it a creamy finish. For a rich flavor , we've seasoned it with oregano, although you could use any other herb you like.

In the market we can choose the size of the sweet potato according to the use we want to give it, if it is to accompany a small one will be perfectly fine —in this case, we can reduce the baking time— or we can serve a large one as a main dish, for example, accompanied by a salad of our choice.

How to make stuffed sweet potato

Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F). Wash two sweet potatoes and place them on a baking sheet. Brush them with 1 teaspoon of olive oil, prick them with a fork, and bake for 45 minutes. They are done when a knife inserted into the center comes out easily. Alternatively, you can microwave them, after pricking them, for 8 minutes on full power, depending on their size.

Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and make a cut in the top, without cutting all the way through. Make cuts inside so the filling goes in more easily and the juices are distributed during baking.
