This will save you time and effort. - If you prefer a spicier dish, you can add more smoked paprika or cayenne pepper to the skillet. Alternatively, you can add a diced jalapeño pepper to the onion and garlic mixture. - Leftover sweet potato rice can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days.
