Sweet potatoes are sweet.  And easy.  And a “Super Food.”  So why not stuff them with other delicious things and call it a day?

Sweet potatoes are rich in antioxidants, minerals, fiber and vitamins like beta carotene and Vitamin A which are great for your immune system, skin, vision, bones, and fighting cancer.  

Ingredients

• 2 medium red skinned sweet potatoes, about 8 to 10 oz each and scrubbed clean
• 56g/ 2oz sheep’s milk feta cheese, cut into small cubes
• 28g/ 2 oz black oil-cured olives, pitted and chopped
• 25g/ 1 oz oil packed sundried tomatoes; thinly sliced
• ¼ cup (1 handful) chopped fresh parsley
• ½ teaspoon dried or 2 teaspoons fresh oregano; chopped
• 1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• Sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400F. Pierce each sweet potato several times with the tines of a fork. Place them directly on middle oven rack with a piece of foil on the rack below.
2. Bake until the sweet potatoes are easily pierced with a knife and cooked through, about 45-60 minutes depending on size. Remove from oven and let stand until cool enough to handle.
3. While the sweet potatoes are baking, make the topping. Mix together remaining ingredients in a small bowl and set aside until the sweet potatoes are done.
4. Slice sweet potatoes lengthwise down the center to expose cooked insides, top with feta mixture and serve.
