2 medium sweet potatoes (about 500g), peeled and cubed
2 tbsp unsweetened almond milk (or any milk alternative)
1 tsp olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
- For the Veggies:
1 cup broccoli florets
1 cup zucchini, sliced
1 cup spinach leaves

1/4 cup onion, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp chili flakes (optional)
1 tbsp lemon juice
Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prep the Sweet Potatoes
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Toss the sweet potato cubes in a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Roast on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for 20–25 minutes until fork-tender.
Once cooked, transfer to a bowl, mash with almond milk, and adjust seasoning to taste. - Cook the Veggies
While the sweet potatoes roast, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Add onions and garlic, sautéing until fragrant (about 2 minutes).
Toss in broccoli, zucchini, and bell peppers, cooking until slightly tender but still vibrant (5–7 minutes).
Stir in spinach, paprika, and chili flakes, cooking just until spinach wilts. Remove from heat and squeeze over lemon juice. - Assemble the Dish
Spread the sweet potato mash onto a plate or shallow bowl.
Top with the sautéed veggies.
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
