Scale
- 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1 half of a red or yellow bell pepper, seeded and finely diced
- half of 1 jalapeno, minced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- a few tbs. chopped red onion

- Heat oven to 400 degrees. Put sweet potatoes, jalapenos, red peppers and garlic on a large baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, toss to coat and spread out in a single layer.

Remove from oven; keep on pan until ready to mix with other ingredients.
