Yummy, yummy dinner! I found this terrific sweet potato recipe on the Clean Eating Mama blog. I modified the cooking technique to save time,(posting my version below), but for the most part, the ingredients are the same, although I used less onion and garlic than what she called for. I could eat this every day! ‘R’ loved the sausage. I am taking posting the package so I won’t forget it…
Sweet Potatoes with Onion and Garlic
- 3 medium/large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into large bite size pieces
- 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
- 1/2 head of garlic, peeled and chopped
- olive oil, about 2-3 tablespoons
- 2 tablespoons of pure maple syrup
- salt and pepper to taste
Microwave the sweet potato pieces until mostly cooked through, but center still firm. In a skillet, heat olive oil, then add the onion and garlic. Cook until onions are translucent. Add the sweet potatoes and continue to cook on medium heat. Do not over stir the potatoes. Add the maple syrup and cook until a glaze forms. Salt and pepper to taste.
