2 Tbsp cooking oil (divided)

½ tsp chili powder

½ tsp paprika

Directions

In a frying pan over medium heat, add 1 Tbsp cooking oil and 2 cups of chopped sweet potatoes. Cook until the cubes are soft when poked with a fork. Scoop into a bowl and set aside for now.

Now add 1 Tbsp olive oil, 3 minced garlic cloves and ½ cup chopped onion. Cook until onion turns translucent. Scoop the onion to the side of the pan.

Turn the heat to low and sprinkle the top with mozzarella cheese. Cover the pan with a lid to help the cheese melt. Serve immediately.
