It’s simple, wholesome, and packed with flavor — perfect for easy weeknights or a shareable weekend meal.
Ingredients
4 medium sweet potatoes – scrubbed and evenly sized for even baking
½ cup feta cheese, crumbled – use brined feta for the best flavor
¼ cup olives, chopped – Kalamata or green olives add a briny pop
2–3 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes, finely chopped – for a sweet-savory balance
1–2 garlic cloves, minced – fresh for bold flavor
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped – adds freshness and color
½ teaspoon dried oregano – classic Mediterranean seasoning
1½ tablespoons olive oil – for richness and roasting
Salt & black pepper, to taste – adjust based on the feta’s saltiness
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prep the sweet potatoes by scrubbing them clean, drying, and poking several holes with a fork. Rub lightly with olive oil and place on the baking sheet.
Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.
While baking, make the filling: mix feta, olives, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, parsley, oregano, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
Slice open the baked potatoes lengthwise and gently press from the ends to create space for the filling.
Stuff each potato with the feta mixture, spooning it in generously.
Return to the oven for another 10 minutes, until warm and lightly golden.
Serve warm, topped with extra parsley or a drizzle of olive oil.
Notes
Make ahead: Bake potatoes and prep filling up to 2 days ahead; stuff and reheat before serving.
Variations: Swap feta for goat cheese or ricotta; add chickpeas, lentils, or spinach for extra protein.
Storage: Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Reheat at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes.
Optional topping: Drizzle with honey or balsamic glaze for a sweet finish
