Roasted Sweet Potato and Pecans

Lately, my Whole30 has been a little sweet potato focused. It's because I need the carbs. When I feel like I'm about to pass out and I can't bring myself to go for a run then I know I'm running low on fuel. That's why I've been making sure I get a little bit of my starches with each meal.

And there are endless ways to cook a sweet potato without getting bored. Don't believe me? Keep an eye on the blog for the next week.

Roasted Sweet Potato and Pecans

adapted from PaleoLeap

Ingredients:

2 large sweet potatoes, cubed

1/2 cup cooking oil, I used sunflower

3 tbsp coconut oil or ghee, chunks

1/4 cup chopped pecans

1 tsp chili powder

Salt & pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees

2. Line baking sheet with parchment paper or foil

3. Place sweet potatoes on baking sheet, sprinkle oil, salt, and pepper on top and mix together (you can do this in a bowl and transfer to baking sheet, but I prefer fewer dishes)

4. Cook in oven for 20 minutes.

5. Remove from oven and sprinkle coconut oil, chili powder, and pecans. Mix together.

6. Make 20 additional minutes
