Sweet and Spicy Pan Fried Sweet Potatoes

• Choose sweet potatoes that are firm and have a consistent size so they cook evenly.
• If you can’t find a fresh poblano pepper, you can substitute a jalapeno pepper.

• Replace duck fat with olive oil - this substitution is beneficial because olive oil is a healthier, more widely available option than duck fat.
• Replace Splenda brown sugar blend with coconut sugar - this substitution is beneficial because coconut sugar is a natural sweetener that has a lower glycemic index than Splenda.

Vegan Version Replace duck fat with vegetable oil and replace pineapple juice or orange juice with unsweetened almond milk.

Gluten-Free Version Replace all-purpose flour with gluten-free all-purpose flour and replace pineapple juice or orange juice with unsweetened almond milk.
