Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 1 medium bell pepper (red or green)
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Peel and dice the large sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes for even cooking.
Chop the medium yellow onion and medium bell pepper into small, uniform pieces.
Mince the garlic cloves and finely chop the fresh rosemary.
Heat 2 tablespoons of coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the sweet potato cubes to the skillet and spread them out into a single layer. Allow them to cook undisturbed for about 5 minutes or until the bottoms begin to turn golden brown.
Stir the sweet potatoes, then add the remaining 1 tablespoon of coconut oil, chopped onion, and bell pepper to the skillet.
Cook for another 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potatoes are tender and the onion and bell pepper are soft and starting to caramelize.
Add the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, fresh thyme, sea salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir everything together, making sure the herbs and seasoning coat all the ingredients.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the garlic is fragrant but not burned.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed, then serve the crispy homefries hot as a delicious side for your paleo-friendly breakfast.
