Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss 1 large peeled and diced sweet potato (about 10 oz) cubes with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp sea salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Spread on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast for 25 minutes, turning once halfway, until golden and tender.
  2. Step 2: While sweet potatoes roast, heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 4 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
  3. Step 3: Add 10 oz fresh spinach to the skillet in batches, stirring constantly until wilted, about 3-4 minutes total. Season with remaining 1/2 tsp sea salt.
  4. Step 4: Remove sweet potatoes from oven and transfer to a serving dish alongside the garlic sautéed spinach. Serve warm as a vibrant, Whole30-compliant side.
