Rice, rice baby!<\/em> We love rice<\/a>. We also love sweet potatoes<\/a>. We\u2019re also<\/em> not new to turning vegetables<\/a> into \u201crice,\u201d and this sweet potato rice is our new favorite! It\u2019s nutrient-packed, endlessly versatile<\/strong>, and just as quick and easy<\/strong> as white rice.\u00a0<\/p>\n

We love enjoying this salty-sweet \u201crice\u201d with our Smoky BBQ Beans<\/a>, Mexican Shredded Chicken<\/a>, and more (new recipe coming soon!). That sweet + spicy combo? Perfection. Just 3 ingredients<\/strong> and 15 minutes<\/strong> required, friends. Let us show you how it\u2019s done!\u00a0<\/p>\n

How to Make Sweet Potato Rice<\/h2>\n

First things first, how does one even make a sweet potato \u201crice-like\u201d!? After some trial and error, we found the best result came from roughly chopping the sweet potato by hand before blitzing it in the food processor<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n

\"Cubed<\/figure>\n

After a few turns around the \u201cdance floor\u201d (a.k.a. blades of the machine\u2026), the sweet potato is transformed into bits and pieces that are evenly sized and ready for cooking! <\/p>\n

\"Sweet<\/figure>\n

To cook the sweet potato rice, the potato bits and pieces are added to a hot skillet with olive or avocado oil and sea salt. It cooks in a thin, single layer for even caramelization and is done in less than 10 minutes! Yep, that\u2019s it! <\/p>\n

\"Sweet<\/figure>\n

We hope you LOVE this sweet potato rice! It\u2019s:<\/p>\n

Salty-sweet
Perfectly tender
Quick & easy
Delicious
& SO versatile!<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a wholesome side that pairs especially well with smoky and spicy dishes. Try it with our Smoky Instant Pot Black Eyed Peas & Greens<\/a>, 1-Pan Mexican Shredded Chicken<\/a>, Smoky BBQ Beans<\/a>, or Chipotle Tofu Chilaquiles<\/a>. And stay tuned for a new delicious pairing coming soon!<\/p>\n
