Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large sweet potato, about 1 lb
  • ¼ cup + 1 tbsp avocado oil
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • ½ tsp granulated garlic
  • 1 ½ tsp kosher salt
  • 1 medium Spanish onion
  • 2 cups medium grain brown rice

Instructions

  1. Peel and cubed the sweet potato in ½-inch cubes.
  2. Toss with ¼ cup avocado oil, ½ tsp each chili powder, cumin, granulated garlic, and salt and roast 20 minutes at 350 degrees, until browned and tender.
  3. Slice the onion and combine with 1 tablespoon avocado oil and ½ teaspoon salt.
