Sweet Potatoes

1. 4 medium sweet potatoes
2. 2 tbsp. almond butter
3. 2 tbsp. maple syrup
4. Dash of unrefined salt

Veggies

1. 1 head of broccoli, steamed or boiled
2. Steamed greens of choice such as swiss chard or collard greens

Avocado Mash

1. 1 avocado
2. 1 garlic clove, minced
3. 1 tbsp. lemon juice
4. Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Wash sweet potatoes and chop them lengthwise into wedges. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and top with the sliced sweet potatoes. Bake for around 45-60 minutes depending on the oven. If you insert a fork, the sweet potatoes should be soft and not starchy in the middle with slightly crisp edges. While the sweet potatoes cook, prepare the avocado mash and steam the broccoli for about 10 minutes, adding the greens for the last 5 minutes. Once everything has finished cooking, add everything to a plate and drizzle the sweet potatoes with the almond butter and maple syrup. Enjoy!

Notes

1. If using an efficient oven that cooks quickly, check the sweet potatoes after about 45 minutes. If using a slower oven, check on the sweet potatoes after about 50-60 minutes.
