Ingredients

Method

Position rack in bottom third of oven; preheat to 425°F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Brush cut sides of sweet potatoes with 1 tbsp of the olive oil. Arrange, cut side down, on prepared pan. Bake until centres are fork-tender, about 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, in nonstick skillet, heat remaining 2 tbsp olive oil over medium heat; cook onion and green onions, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add garlic; cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add spinach, dill, vinegar, oregano, pepper and 1/4 tsp of the salt; cook, stirring, until moisture has evaporated, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in feta.

Flip sweet potatoes cut side up; sprinkle with remaining 1/4 tsp salt. Top with mozzarella and spinach mixture. Bake until cheese is melted, 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle with pine nuts, drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil and garnish with dill sprigs (if using).
