  • Wash and quarter each sweet potato (leave skins on) and place in a medium-large pot.
  • Add water into pot until sweet potatoes are just covered with water. Add 1 teaspoon sea salt to water.
  • Heat potatoes over medium-high heat to a boil. Once potatoes come to a boil bring down to a simmer for 20-25 minutes until potatoes are fork tender.
  • While potatoes boil, chop up 1/2 a large shallot, 1/3 small ginger root and 4 cloves of garlic. Add to sauce pan with 2 tablespoons canola oil with 1 teaspoon sea salt, 1 tablespoon crushed red pepper, and 1 tablespoon black pepper. Sauté until veggies are tender.
