Directions:
Rinse the sweet potatoes.
Cut sweet potatoes into half-an inch circles. Keep the skin. It contains double the fiber.
Put the cut sweet potatoes in a bowl and add in the avocado oil and a dash of pink Himalayan salt. Toss it all together.
(Baking option) If you decide to bake it in the oven, preheat it for 425° before cutting and prepping the sweet potatoes. Once preheated, place your sweet potatoes on a nonstick baking sheet in one layer. Bake them 10 minutes each side (So don’t forget to flip them in 10 minutes!)
(Air fried) This is a quicker option if you have an air fryer. Just place your sweet potatoes in the air fryer. Set the temperature for 400° and air fry it for 15 mins. Flip them to the other side halfway through!
Start prepping your chicken by cutting them into cubes or 1 inch strips. It’s easier to cook them this way! Sprinkle some himalayan salt on the chicken or any seasoning flavor YOU desire. Spray the pan with oil spray (I prefer avocado oil spray). Cook the chicken for about 45 seconds each side on medium heat until the chicken is charred. You can even turn the heat up JUST a bit. This will cook the outside to be golden brown and still keep some moist on the inside.
While your chicken is cooking, steam or boil the broccoli for no longer than 5 minutes. The longer you boil/steam it, the softer it gets.
Once everything is cooked, place it all in your favorite container or plate and garnish it with Everything But The Bagel Seasoning! If you want to add a bit of taste to your sweet potatoes, you can dip it in a ketchup like fries!
