Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss cubed sweet potatoes with 1 tbsp avocado oil, 1/4 tsp sea salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Spread in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes until golden and fork-tender.
  2. Step 2: While potatoes roast, pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Rub with remaining 1 tbsp avocado oil, grated ginger, turmeric powder, 1/4 tsp sea salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Step 3: Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken skin-side down and cook for 8 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Flip and cook for 6 more minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  4. Step 4: Rest chicken for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with roasted sweet potatoes, drizzling any pan juices over the top for maximum flavor and moisture.
