  3. Cheese / Garlic / Parsley - Prep as directed. Store cheese in one container and garlic and parsley in another. (Can be done up to 5 days ahead)

  4. Mushrooms - If not pre-chopped, chop mushrooms. (Can be done up to 3 days ahead)

  5. Apples - Chop apples. If not using right away, toss with a bit of lemon juice (not in ingredients list) to keep them from turning brown.

Make

  1. Heat oven to 425F / 218C. Brush a sheet pan with some cooking oil.

  2. Heat an nonstick pan over medium heat. Add cooking oil and then mushrooms to heated oil. Saute until mushrooms are golden brown and tender, 5 to 6 minutes. Add sherry vinegar and some salt and saute for one minute more.

  3. Add garlic and parsley to mushrooms. Saute until garlic is fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes more. Season with some salt and pepper.

  4. Cut a slit in the top of the sweet potatoes and press both ends to create a pocket for filling. Fill with butter and then mushrooms and cheese.

  5. Bake sweet potatoes until cheese is melted and potatoes are heated through, 8 to 10 minutes.

  6. Just before serving, toss apples, spinach and almonds in balsamic vinaigrette (remember to reserve half if doubled).

  7. Serve sweet potatoes with yogurt for topping. Enjoy with salad on the side.
