Sweet Potato with Avocado

“What I say is that, if a man really likes potatoes, he must be a decent sort of fellow”

~A.A. Milne

Sweet potatoes are nutrient-dense and full of flavor. Unique to commonly used sweet potato pairings, the creamy avocado here is savory and draws out the sweet potato’s flavor adding an unexpected pop. Add a side of beans and veggies for a complete meal.

Ingredients:

  • 1 sweet potato
  • 1/2 avocado
  • Salt, pepper, paprika, and/or cumin

Preparation: Cook sweet potato – options include: baking in oven, (45-60 min), boiling in water (20-25 min), or microwaving (4-6 min). If baking or microwaving, poke holes in the sweet potato with a fork or knife prior to heating. When cooked, cut the sweet potato in half, then make a vertical cut down the center of each half. Add the avocado and smash with a fork. Add the spices and any sides. Enjoy.
