Description
How to make perfect sautéed sweet potatoes with simple seasonings like coriander and garlic. These pan-fried sweet potatoes are a flavorful and delicious vegetarian side dish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 650g (23oz) sweet potato, peeled
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Cut them into 3cm diagonal chunks for a nice sear on the sides or dice them into small cubes for faster, more even cooking.
- Heat olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet or pan over medium heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add the sweet potato pieces and season with ground coriander, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat them evenly, then spread the sweet potatoes out in a single layer.
- Cover the skillet with a lid and steam the sweet potatoes for about 10 minutes to soften them. If you don’t have a lid, use a sheet pan as a cover.
- Remove the lid and continue cooking over medium heat, stirring frequently, for another 8–10 minutes until the sweet potatoes are tender and slightly crispy.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in a skillet with a little oil until warm.
