Ingredients

2-4 small to medium sweet potatoes

Instructions

Wash and dry the sweet potatoes.
Peel the skin with a vegetable peeler or paring knife. (Cut the ends as needed to make this step easier.)
Slice into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
Slice each round in half, then in half again to make a 1/2-1 inch dice.
Alternatively, you can slice rounds into sticks.
Use in recipes such as Roasted Sweet Potato, Chicken and Sweet Potato Bowls, Slow Cooker Chicken Tacos, Slow Cooker Chana Masala, Big Batch Veggie Chili, and Veggie Chili Mac.

Notes

Peel and cut the sweet potato right before using as the flesh will start to turn brown when exposed to air for longer than about 10-20 minutes.

Aim for the cut pieces of the sweet potato to be about the same size so they cook evenly.

Roast them, or use them in any desired recipe.
