Ingredients

- Sweet potato 100 g
- Green beans 1 cup
- Olive oil 1 tbsp
Method
-
Prepare the sweet potatoes.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and peel the sweet potato, then cut it into 1-inch cubes. Toss the cubes with half of the olive oil (about 1/2 tbsp) to coat evenly. Spread them out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Tip: Cut the sweet potatoes into similar-sized pieces to ensure even roasting. -
Roast the sweet potatoes.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the sweet potatoes for about 25 minutes. Halfway through, use a spatula to flip the cubes so they brown evenly on all sides.
Tip: Roast until the sweet potatoes are tender and lightly caramelized for the best flavor. -
Prepare and grill the turkey breast.
While the sweet potatoes roast, pat the turkey breast dry with paper towels. Brush the remaining olive oil (about 1/2 tbsp) on the turkey breast and season lightly with salt and pepper if desired. Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Grill the turkey breast for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Tip: Use a meat thermometer to check doneness to avoid overcooking and drying out the turkey. -
Steam the green beans.
While the turkey grills, rinse the green beans and trim the ends. Bring a pot of water to boil and place a steamer basket over it. Add the green beans to the basket, cover, and steam for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender but still crisp.
Tip: To keep the green beans bright green, plunge them into ice water immediately after steaming. -
Plate and serve.
Arrange the grilled turkey breast, roasted sweet potatoes, and steamed green beans on a plate. Optionally, drizzle any remaining olive oil over the vegetables for extra flavor. Serve warm and enjoy your balanced, nutritious meal.
Tip: Let the turkey rest for a few minutes after grilling to keep it juicy.
