Meal Prep is something super popular, but often paired with boring and bland foods. It doesn't have to be that way! I created these yummy spicy sweet potatoes and a delicious and easy chicken patty. I also added a small salad to go with it, but separated the containers so you can re-heat!

On a lined baking tray - place the coasted sweet potato and place into the oven for 40 minutes or until soft.
