I bought some steak for dinner (lean eye of round) but realized I hadn't really considered the side dish for the meal. I didn't want to go back out to get anything so I looked around the kitchen for what we had - sweet potatoes (which is always our quick microwave option), some celery and of course sweet mayan onions that I eat almost one a day of easily. Viola, the Caveman Trinity was born - one tuber (sweet potato), one bulb (onion) & one stem (celery). A simple paleo sweet potato side dish that can complement any main course. What's not to love.

Paleo Sweet Potato Side Dish Recipe Variations
I kept the flavors simple on this. It ends up being a little on the sweet side but it goes great with nice lean eye of round steak. Another option would be to put these on a cookie sheet and oven roast them. Feel free to add any complementary spices based on the main corse. Thyme and Rosemary are a great option when roasting.
