Steps to make Fast Sweet Potato Recipe: Perfect Sweet Potatoes in 8 Minutes

  1. 1

    Prepare sweet potatoes

    1min

    Slice 1 sweet potato into pieces that are slightly less than ¼ inch thick.

  2. 2

    Heat oil and add sweet potatoes

    1min

    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.

  3. 3

    Cook sweet potatoes

    6min

    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.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve drizzled with tahini sauce and a sprinkle of fresh chopped parsley.
