Appliances & Utensils
Instructions
Prepare the vegetables: Preheat your oven to 400°F. Wash 4 small sweet potatoes and pat them dry. Wash 2 zucchini and cut into thick rounds and remove the seeds from the center.
Roast vegetables: Place the whole sweet potatoes on a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast for about 60 - 70 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork. Place the zucchini and 4 cloves of garlic on an additional parchment-lined baking sheet, drizzle with 1 Tbsp olive oil and 1/4 tsp salt, and roast for about 20 - 25 minutes.
Prepare the chicken: Shred 1 rotisserie chicken, removing the meat from the bone and set aside.
Make the garlic aioli: In a small bowl, finely mince the 4 roasted garlic cloves and stir in 6 tablespoons of avocado mayonnaise.
Prepare the sweet potato mash: Once sweet potatoes are cooked, remove the skins and place the center portion in a bowl. Continue mashing with a fork until combined.
Serve: To serve, add one spoonful of garlic aioli onto the plate, top with a large scoop of mashed sweet potato, a few zucchini rings, and the shredded rotisserie chicken. Enjoy!
Pro Tip: Sweet potatoes take a long time to cook, but are so worth it! Try cooking a larger portion and use them for other recipes throughout the week.
For vegetarian/vegan dietary preferences: Instead of the chicken, consider adding chickpeas to this dish with a light dash of salt and pepper.

What I’m recommending
Kosterina olive oil - A high quality flavor straight from Greece!
Kion vanilla protein powder - I practically have this every day, putting it in everything from my protein pancake bowls to smoothies and it tastes delicious!
Set of 3 serving platters - These are great whether you are hosting or bringing a dish to share!
OXO salad spinner - I throw in all my fruits and veggies in here to wash them before enjoying!
