Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs sweet potatoes peeled and diced
  • 1 red bell pepper diced
  • 1 small yellow onion diced
  • 1.5 tablespoon olive oil for sautéing
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder adds heat
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin earthy flavor
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder for seasoning
  • ¾ teaspoon salt to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper freshly cracked for a subtle kick

Method
 

  1. Wash, peel, and dice the sweet potatoes. Dice the red bell pepper and the onion.
