    Say NO to boring side dishes! Going low carb made me experiment a lot with different sides because I didn’t want to be stuck eating eggs with bacon and steaks with sad salads all day, every day. I like to eat colorful food and I believe that eating a variety of protein and fat-rich animal products with veggies and occasional fruits and berries is a perfect diet for the majority of people.

    This combo of broccoli and sweet potatoes is something incredible. I’m pretty sure that you’ll like it a lot and, even though sweet potatoes are not low in carbs, they’re a good alternative to regular potatoes and more nutritious, with less starch content and more fiber.

    Step by step directions

    First, we need to make our garlic ranch. You just need to whisk all the ranch ingredients together and set them aside. Could it be any easier than that?

    Step by step how to make garlic ranch sautéed broccoli and sweet potatoes.

    We will spend the next 10 to 12 mins sautéing the sweet potatoes and broccoli. Sautee your sweet potatoes first for the 5 mins or until the potatoes just start becoming soft on a preheated skillet or wok over a medium-high heat with some olive oil. Don’t forget to season them with sea salt, freshly ground black pepper, and chipotle chili powder.

    Cut your broccoli into bite-size pieces, add them to the potatoes, and season with some extra salt if needed. Cook together with the potatoes for an additional 5-7 minutes or until potatoes are cooked through and the broccoli is forming brown spots.

    Enjoy your broccoli and sweet potatoes with a garlic ranch topping while warm!

    Health benefits of broccoli

    Broccoli is a cruciferous vegetable that is high in vitamins K, A, C, and folic acid. It also contains sulforaphane and other bioactive compounds! They were shown to reduce inflammation, have anti-fungal effects, may protect against certain types of cancer, and support healthy brain function. All these health-enhancing compounds are activated when we do damage to the broccoli; the more damage we do the better! You can read about the science behind it here SCIENTISTS HAVE FOUND A NEW, HEALTHIER WAY TO COOK BROCCOLI.

    That’s why, in this recipe, I ask you to cut the broccoli crowns into bite-size pieces. Let’s get all the benefits out of this beautiful vegetable!
