Tips for Roasted Sweet Potato, Zucchini, and Leek Stir-Fry

Keep the sweet potato pieces small and similar in size so they soften within the short cooking time.
A wide skillet gives the vegetables room to brown; crowding can make them steam and turn soft.
The dish is ready when the sweet potato is easily pierced and the zucchini is tender but still holds its shape.

Drink pairing

A dry rosé
Its crisp, light fruit complements the sweet potato while balancing the olive-oil richness.

0% option: Sparkling water with a squeeze of lemon

Storage

Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours in a covered container and use within 3–4 days. Reheat until steaming hot; the zucchini may soften further.

Frequently asked questions

How can I tell when the sweet potato is cooked through?

It should be easy to pierce with a fork, with no firm or crunchy center.

Can I make this ahead?

For the best texture, serve it freshly cooked. You can dice the sweet potato and slice the other vegetables shortly ahead, then refrigerate them separately until cooking.
