Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Peel and dice sweet potato into 1/2-inch cubes, then rinse under cold water to remove excess starch. Pat completely dry with a clean kitchen towel.
  2. Step 2: Heat coconut oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add sweet potatoes and cook for 5 minutes without stirring, until golden brown on the bottom.
  3. Step 3: Flip potatoes and continue cooking for 5-7 more minutes, stirring occasionally, until fork-tender and deeply caramelized at the edges.
  4. Step 4: While potatoes cook, dice avocado into 1/2-inch cubes. Stir in salt, pepper, and avocado into the skillet during the last 2 minutes of cooking, gently folding to combine.
  5. Step 5: Remove from heat immediately once avocado is warmed through but still holds its shape, as overcooking will make it mushy.
