Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 large sweet potatoes (about 1.5 lbs), diced
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa or brown rice (optional base)
  • Avocado (optional topping)
  • Toasted pumpkin seeds (optional topping)

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken by mixing olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic, oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Add chicken and coat well; refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and cayenne (if using). Spread on a baking sheet.
