Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Carefully pierce each sweet potato several times with a fork and bake for 40-45 minutes until tender.
  2. While the sweet potatoes bake, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown.
  3. Next, add fresh spinach to the pan, and stir until it wilts, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Reduce heat to low, mix in tahini and nutritional yeast. Stir together until fully blended and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Once cool, slice sweet potatoes in half, scoop out flesh, and combine with filling. Fill each sweet potato skin with the mixture.
  6. Optional: Bake stuffed sweet potatoes for an additional 10 minutes to crisp the filling.
  7. Serve warm, garnished with fresh herbs or extra tahini if desired.
