Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss 2 medium peeled and cubed sweet potatoes with 2 tbsp avocado oil, 1/2 tsp ground turmeric, 1/2 tsp sea salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper on a baking sheet.
  2. Step 2: Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until tender and golden brown, flipping once halfway through.
  3. Step 3: While the sweet potatoes roast, place 2 cups fresh spinach in a bowl. Once the sweet potatoes are done, arrange them over the spinach and top with 1 sliced ripe avocado and 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds.
