Stuffed Sweet Potatoes with Minced Meat, Spinach, and Cheese - Recipe image

INGREDIENTS

1200g sweet potatoes
a little olive oil
250g minced beef
200g concentrated tomato juice
1 onion, finely chopped
1 cup spinach leaves
160g mozzarella cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/3 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika

METHOD

Preheat the oven to 180°C fan-assisted. Rinse the sweet potatoes well, prick them, and bake them in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until completely soft.
It may take longer depending on their size. Let them cool. Meanwhile, in a pan, add a little olive oil and sauté the onion for a few minutes until it starts to brown.
Add the minced meat and stir until it changes color. Add the tomato juice and spices, lower the heat, and simmer for 10 minutes.
Add the spinach, stir for 2-3 minutes until it wilts, and remove from heat.
Cut the sweet potatoes in half and place them on a baking tray. Press them with a fork to form a 'boat' and fill them with the minced meat. Sprinkle with mozzarella on top. Place the sweet potatoes back in the oven and bake until the cheese melts and turns golden.
