Peel the sweet potato in spots, slice into rounds, and soak in water for 10 minutes. Cut the broccoli into bite-sized pieces and microwave until slightly firm.

Slice the garlic and cut the bacon into bite-sized pieces.

Add olive oil to a frying pan, add the sweet potato while still wet, and turn on the heat. Cook both sides slowly over medium-low heat.

Add the broccoli, garlic, and bacon, cover with a lid, and let sit for 3 minutes. Remove the lid, add herb salt, and stir-fry until everything is cooked through.

Serve on a plate and sprinkle with black pepper if desired.
