Recipe:

This tasty sweet potato hash is from my book, The Beauty Diet. Sweet potatoes are one of my Top 10 beauty foods, as they are rich in vitamin A, which keeps skin soft and smooth.
Ingredients:
1 large sweet potato (12–14 ounces), cut into 1⁄2-inch dice (3 cups)
1 medium red onion, cut into large chunks (1 cup)
1⁄2 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces (3⁄4 cup)
2 garlic cloves, sliced
1 1⁄2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1⁄2 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Place an empty baking sheet in the oven to heat for 5 minutes. Toss all the ingredients together in a bowl until well coated; remove the tray from the oven and spread the sweet potato mixture in a single layer. Return to the oven and cook until the potatoes are tender, 30 minutes.
