Preheat your oven to 400 ºF. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Oil the baking sheet.
Place the sweet potatoes on the prepared baking sheet, flesh side down.
Bake until the flesh is tender, about 45-55 minutes. Once the potatoes are tender, remove them from the oven and set aside to cool slightly.
Meanwhile, in a skillet over medium-high heat, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and add 1 diced onion and 1 cup diced mushrooms. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.
Add 2 minced garlic cloves and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add 1 pound ground breakfast sausage and crumble with a wooden spoon or spatula. Cook for 5 minutes.
Slowly pour in ½ cup white wine or chicken stock and work up the browned bits stuck on the bottom of the pan with the wooden spoon.
Stir in 2 cups baby spinach and 2 tablespoons dried cranberries and cook until the spinach has wilted, about 1 minute.
Stir in 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar and season with 1 ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper.
Turn the broiler on high.
Using a spoon, scoop out some of the flesh of each sweet potato half to create a cavity. Mix the sweet potato flesh into the sausage mixture.
Evenly divide the sausage mixture between the sweet potato halves. Scoop sausage mixture into sweet potato halves. Sprinkle each sweet potato half with grated Parmesan cheese.
Place the sweet potatoes under the broiler and broil until the cheese has melted and bubbly, about 2-3 minutes.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with more dried cranberries. Serve and enjoy!
