Method
 

  1. Heat avocado oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add sweet potato matchsticks and sauté for 8 to 10 minutes, or until fork-tender.

Notes

When possible, choose organic ingredients, especially spinach and strawberries. Cut sweet potato into small matchstick pieces for faster, more even cooking. Do not rush the sweet potato — give it the full 8 to 10 minutes before adding other vegetables. If histamine is a concern, use fresh eggs and cook immediately, and substitute smoked paprika with regular paprika. Individual alpha-gal reactions vary — always read labels carefully.
