Step 4: Cut off the stem of the jalapeno and slice in half lengthwise. For less spice, remove some of the seeds. Thinly slice the halves crosswise.

Step 5: In a large cast iron skillet or heavy bottomed pan, heat the olive oil over medium.

Step 6: Once hot, add the chopped sweet potatoes. Cook for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally to turn the cubes and prevent burning. Cook until beginning to soften and the sides are lightly browned.

Step 7: Remove from the pan into a bowl. If you are worried about the sweet potato cooking all the way through, cover the bowl with a lid or a plate to keep the heat in while preparing the rest of the vegetables.

Step 8: There should till be a bit of oil in the pan. If not add, 1 tbsp/15ml olive oil.

Step 9: Return pan to medium heat, adding onion, garlic, and jalapeno. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until onion is starting to brown and soften.
