How to Make Sweet Potato Rice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First things first, how does one even make a sweet potato “rice-like”!? After some trial and error, we found the best result came from roughly chopping the sweet potato by hand before blitzing it in the food processor<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Cubed<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After a few turns around the “dance floor” (a.k.a. blades of the machine…), the sweet potato is transformed into bits and pieces that are evenly sized and ready for cooking! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Sweet<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

To cook the sweet potato rice, the potato bits and pieces are added to a hot skillet with olive or avocado oil and sea salt. It cooks in a thin, single layer for even caramelization and is done in less than 10 minutes! Yep, that’s it! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We hope you LOVE this sweet potato rice! It’s:

Salty-sweet
Perfectly tender
Quick & easy
Delicious
& SO versatile!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
