Whole30 Smoky Sweet Potatoes with Caramelized Onions

A Whole30 dish that's super satisfying and comforting - perfect when you want to eat something healthy and delicious. 

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes
Servings 2

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 large onion sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic chopped
  • 500 g sweet potatoes peeled and chopped
  • 1/3 cup red bellpepper chopped
  • 1/3 cup yellow bellpepper chopped
  • 1 tsp hot smoked paprika (see notes)
  • 2 handfuls baby spinach
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds optional
  • Harissa-tahini sauce optional, but recommended

Instructions

  1. In a skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil. 

  2. When the oil is hot enough, add onions. Add salt to let the onions sweat and cook until caramelized. 

  3. Add garlic and cook for a minute. 

  4. Add sweet potatoes and bellpeppers. Cook over low-medium heat until sweet potatoes are fork-tender (unless you want them on a mushy side like me). This time, add the smoked paprika as well. You may also need to add a small amount of water from time to time and stir occasionally in order not to burn the veggies. 

  5. When veggies are cooked, turn off the heat and add salt and pepper according to your taste. 

  6. Add baby spinach and mix until wilted. 

  7. If using, add chia seeds before serving and harissa-tahini sauce. 

Recipe Notes

If you don't want a spicy dish, you can use regular smoked paprika.
