And Some Like Them Hot!
You know I love me some roasted sweet potatoes. (English teacher mother is rolling in her grave right now.)
Anyway.
I had some fun goofing off in the kitchen today with a couple of nice firm sweet potatoes, an avocado, spices…. Well, let’s just get to it!
Roasted Sweet Potato Fries with Curry Avocado Dip
You’ll need:
- 2 organic sweet potatoes, peeled and cut in wedges
- 2 TBSP olive oil
- salt and pepper
- curry powder
- sesame seeds and cilantro for garnish
- Avocado Dip
- 1 ripe organic avocado
- 2 TBSP tahini paste
- 1/2 tsp curry powder, or to taste
- 1/8 tsp salt, or to taste
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees
- Peel and cut the sweet potatoes, then toss in olive oil (I usually just put the vegetables on the baking sheet, drizzle with the olive oil, and then toss them around with my hands to coat)
- Roast for about 15 minutes, stirring carefully at about 8 minutes
- Turn the heat up to 450 degrees and then roast an additional 5 minutes at a time, stirring and checking to see if they are golden. When they have browned a little bit, remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes, then sprinkle with sesame seeds and cilantro to garnish
- While the sweet potatoes are roasting, make the curry avocado dip
- Mix the ingredients together and season to taste
- Serve immediately
The curry surprise perfectly compliments the creamy sweetness of the sweet potatoes. I think you’ll really like this combination!
