Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 tablespoon oil (coconut or olive)
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons curry powder

  • 1 cup vegetable broth or water
  • 3 cups baby spinach (or other greens)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  6. Reduce heat, cover, and cook for 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sweet potatoes are tender.
