INGREDIENT NOTES:
SWEET POTATOES:
- We have to use medium sweet potatoes so that they get stuffed nicely. Choose the firm ones so they keep the filing well.
MUSHROOMS:
- Use the button or cremini mushroom to make the filling. It will provide the earthy flavor in filing.
SPINACH:
- Use the fresh spinach to make the stuffing. Fresh one wilts fast, though you can also use the frozen spinach by completely defrosting it and straining all its water. It also add lots minerals & vitamins in the dish.
AVOCADO:
- Use the avocados to add healthy fat content to the dish. Add them in the last to preserve the color, and it also provides the texture.
VEGAN FETA:
- Vegan feta cheese will add a savory taste to it. It also balances the natural sweet taste of these sweet potatoes.
