• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves

Directions

Step 1

Peel and chop the sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes.

Step 2

Finely chop the onion, garlic, and ginger.

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 20 minutes or until sweet potatoes are tender.
