Ingredients

  • 1 large sweet potato cubed
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • brussels sprouts halves
  • mushrooms sliced
  • 10-12 large shrimp peeled
  • 1/2 cup vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Spices

  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 tsp thyme
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • salt + pepper to taste
  • fresh cilantro garnish

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 350F degrees.
  • Heat oil in a oven safe skillet or cast iron. Add the sweet potatoes and sauté on medium low for about 10 minutes. Just enough to lightly soften and give the sweet potato a head start. Remove from heat.
  • Add in the remaining ingredients including spices and bake for about 25 mins. Remove from oven and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Bake for an additional 3-5 minutes, just enough to melt the cheese. Garnish with fresh cilantro (or herb of preference) and serve.
