From the World's Healthiest Foods, this is my version the Golden Spinach and Sweet Potato Healthy Sauté. As a vegetarian, I didn't use chicken broth. I didn't add any salt either.
I didn't have enough sweet potatoes or spinach so I decided to add some pinto beans, which matches and complements the nutrition of the rest of the vegetables.
