Spicy Sweet Potato Sauté

Sweet potatoes are one of my all-time favorite foods.

Their versatility, sweet flavor and spectacular color make them a lovely ingredient to work with.

The recipe I'm sharing with you today comes from my brother, and I think you'll all be very happy with him once you try this sweet and spicy little treat.

Before I share it with you, let's take a moment and brag on these little treasures:

The Center for Science in the Public Interest ranked sweet potatoes number one in nutrition above all over veggies! Here's why:

• Lots of Vitamin A, almost twice the daily recommendation 
• Lots of Vitamin C, almost half the daily recommendation 
• Tons of Beta-carotene, four times the recommended amount 
• Plenty of Fiber, more than oatmeal if eaten with skin!
• They also digest slowly, making you feel full longer!

Now that we know the facts behind their healthy reputation, let's get cookin'....

What You'll Need:

2 sweet potatoes, cubed in small pieces

1/2 onion, chopped

2-3 cloves garlic, minced

1 red bell pepper, chopped

1 can Rotel 

1-2 TBSP olive oil

Dash of Chile Powder

Salt, to taste

Pepper, to taste

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 375. Dice your sweet potatoes into small cubes and place them on a cookie sheet and sprinkle with olive oil. 

Now place the sweet potatoes in the oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes. Take the sweet potatoes out, flip them over and roast again for another 10-12 minutes. Set aside.

Now slice your onion, garlic, and pepper and place in a large skillet. Sprinkle with olive oil and sauté for 1-2 minutes. 

Now add the sweet potatoes, Rotel, and spices and continue to sauté for another 4-5 minutes or until everything is cooked through thoroughly.

Now, it's ready to eat! Serve it over rice, spinach, or eat it plain. It will be delicious either way.

Special thanks to Justin for this delectable dish!
