Ingredients
- 2 medium (12 oz total, peeled and diced into 1/2-inch cubes) sweet potatoes
- 1 medium (4 oz, diced into 1/2-inch cubes) carrots
- 1 tbsp (finely grated) fresh ginger
- 1 tsp ground turmeric
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add sweet potatoes and carrots, spreading in an even layer; cook for 5 minutes without stirring until golden brown on the bottom. Stir in onions, grated ginger, turmeric, 1/4 tsp sea salt, and 1/8 tsp black pepper, then continue cooking for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender and caramelized at edges.
- Step 2: Reduce heat to medium-low, add remaining 1 tbsp olive oil, and cook for 3-5 minutes more, stirring frequently, until vegetables are fork-tender and mixture is slightly sticky and golden — this ensures flavors meld without burning.

Used frozen vegetables instead of fresh and honestly couldn't tell the difference.
- ★★★★☆
Good flavors but the sauce was a bit thin. I'd reduce it longer.
