Instructions

Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into bite-sized cubes. Cut the peppers into bite-sized pieces and remove the seeds. Chop the shallots and mince the garlic.
Heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed pan, like a cast iron skillet, for a nice grilled char.
Add the cubed sweet potatoes to the pan, sprinkle with salt, and stir well. Cover the pan and let sweat for 8-10 minutes.
Remove the lid and add the remaining ingredients. Cook on high heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally for even cooking.
Turn off the heat, drizzle lemon juice over the dish, adjust salt and pepper to taste, garnish with fresh herbs, and serve warm.

Notes

Make sure to cut the sweet potatoes into even-sized cubes for uniform cooking.
For added flavor, consider adding other seasonal vegetables.
This dish can be served as a main course or as a side.
