Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes peeled and diced
  • 1 red bell pepper chopped
  • 1 yellow onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish

Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet.
  3. Stir in minced garlic and continue to cook for 1-2 minutes.
  4. Incorporate the diced sweet potatoes and spices: cumin, chili powder, and smoked paprika.
  5. Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine.
  6. Cover the skillet and reduce heat to medium-low, cooking for 15-20 minutes until sweet potatoes are tender.
