Sweet Potato with Asparagus


Here's a quick and easy one!  A delicious side dish or even a meat free lunch or dinner option.  This was super tasty and something I will definitely make again...and even better? Only TWO main ingredients!  The rest are pantry items I always have on hand.

Ingredients:

  • Sweet potato
  • Asparagus (as much as you want to eat), chopped into 1" pieces
  • Pantry Items: S&P, EVOO

Instructions:

  • To make this even faster, I microwaved the potato until fork tender.  
  • PRO TIP: Cooking time will vary based on size of your potato.  Start with 6 minutes and check it from there.  It's done when a fork or knife inserted into the potato goes in smoothly with no resistance. 
  • PRO TIP: Poke some holes all over the potato with a fork before you nuke it.  This helps steam escape while it's cooking.
  • In a pan, over medium high heat, pour some EVOO in the pan and add your asparagus.
  • Season with S&P.
  • Sautee until just starting to brown.  PRO TIP: Those brown spots as seen in the photo are flavor magic!
  • Slice your potato in half, season with S&P (and EVOO if you'd like), top with the asparagus.
  • Enjoy!
