Ingredients Needed
- 1 cup buckwheat groats
- 2 large sweet potatoes, diced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

Preparation Steps
Start by rinsing the buckwheat groats under cold water. In a pot, cook the buckwheat according to package instructions, usually about 10-12 minutes until tender. Drain and set aside.
While the buckwheat cooks, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the diced sweet potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for about 20-25 minutes until golden and tender.
In a large skillet, heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
Add the roasted sweet potatoes to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for a few minutes to let flavors meld. Then, add the cooked buckwheat and stir well. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
