To make the Perfect Sweet Potatoes in 8 Minutes, you will need the following ingredients:
Slice 1 sweet potato into pieces that are slightly less than ¼ inch thick.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, reduce the heat to medium and add 2 teaspoons avocado oil to the pan. Swirl to coat the pan. Add sweet potato rounds in an even layer and sprinkle with salt if using.
Cover and cook until the underside is golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Then uncover, flip the sweet potatoes, and cover again. Reduce the heat slightly if the sweet potatoes are browning too quickly. Cook until golden brown on both sides and fork-tender, about 3 minutes more.
Serve drizzled with tahini sauce and a sprinkle of fresh chopped parsley.
