- Preheat your oven to 200°C.
- Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry.
- Pierce each sweet potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking.
- Place the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and bake for 45-60 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
- While the sweet potatoes are baking, prepare the kale. Rinse and chop the kale into small pieces.
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the chopped kale to the skillet and sauté for 3-5 minutes, or until the kale is wilted and tender.
- Season the kale with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and remove from heat.
- Once the sweet potatoes are done baking, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes.
- Carefully cut each sweet potato in half lengthwise.
- Using a spoon, gently scoop out the flesh of the sweet potatoes, leaving a small border around the edges to keep the skins intact.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the scooped-out sweet potato flesh with the sautéed kale and crumbled fetta cheese. Mix until well combined.
- Spoon the mixture back into the sweet potato skins, evenly distributing the filling among the potatoes.
- Place the stuffed sweet potatoes back on the baking sheet and return them to the oven. Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the filling is heated through and the tops are slightly golden.
- Remove the stuffed sweet potatoes from the oven and allow them to cool slightly.
- Garnish with fresh micro herbs before serving.
