Sautéed Sweet Potatoes
Sautéed Sweet Potatoes are perfectly balanced with flavors that are savory and sweet with a little kick. Serve them with breakfast, lunch, or dinner!
Equipment
- Cast iron skillet or non-stick pan
- Spatula flipper
Ingredients
- 1 pound sweet potatoes
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- salt and white pepper to taste
- pinch of cayenne optional
- ½ tablespoon pure maple syrup or 1 ½ teaspoons
- 3 tablespoons olive oil or more if needed
Instructions
- Mix the spices in a small ramekin.
- Peel the potatoes, then slice them lengthwise.
- Cut them into half-moon shapes, about ¼ inch thick.
- To a cast iron skillet, add 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Heat it over medium heat and toss in the sliced potatoes. Coat them in the oil.
- Let the potatoes cook for about 4 minutes before flipping them. Then cook them for another 4 minutes on the other side.
- Cook for a total of 20 minutes, and gently flip them every few minutes with a spatula flipper. Once they're about finished (and there's just a little oil left in the bottom), add the spices and gently flip to combine.
- Once completely cooked, turn off the heat and mix in the pure maple syrup. The oil should be absorbed before adding the syrup.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- Be very gentle when flipping the potatoes. Soft potatoes can easily break apart. Make sure to scoop from the bottom of the pan and up.
- If the potatoes start sticking to the pan, add 1 tablespoon of more oil.
- Slice them in equal sizes to ensure even cooking.
