Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 medium diced sweet potatoes and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften and brown.

  4. Step 4: Stir in 2 minced garlic cloves and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Step 5: Season with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Remove from heat and sprinkle with 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley before serving.
