  • 4 Tbs Oil divided
  • ½ red onion chopped
  • 1 red or green bell pepper chopped
  • ¼ Cup green onions chopped

  • Spread the sweet potato cubes out so that they aren't touching to allow them to cook well.
  • Bake the sweet potato cubes for 20 minutes at 400 degrees until soft throughout and slightly caramelized. 
  • Meanwhile, heat 2 tbs olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the red onions, bell peppers, green onions and garlic and sauté until tender and lightly golden – about 5-6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Notes

  • This dish has lots of variations you can use.  
  • It is fine to substitute 1 tbs onion powder for the onion.
  • Use a variety of bell peppers or other peppers to suit tastes.  Its beautiful with more colored peppers. 
  • Use any cooking oil you prefer.  Peanut oil gives a nice flavor.  Likewise, bacon grease gives a good flavor too. 
  • This dish will suffer if you don't use enough salt and pepper. 
  • The sugar is optional but we think it improves the overall taste of the dish.
