Ingredients

  • 4 sweet potatoes, preferably Japanese
  • 2 T olive oil
  • 1 t kosher salt
  • ¼ t cayenne, sprinkling all over
  • 1 t smoky paprika

For the Guacamole:

  • 3 avocados – halved, pitted and peel removed
  • 1 lime
  • 1/2 t kosher salt
  • ½ – 1 t cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 onion, diced
  • 8 grape tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, pressed
  • 1 T fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 T jalapeno, minced

Instructions

Make the Sweet Potato Wedges

1. Preheat oven to 400 F.

2. Cut each sweet potato in half lengthwise. Then each half, in half lengthwise and then each ¼ in half lengthwise. In the end, you should have 8 long wedges.

3. Toss the wedges in the olive oil and salt. Then sprinkle the cayenne and smoky paprika over evenly and toss again.

4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the sweet potato wedges in a single layer. Bake for 30-40 minutes, flipping halfway through. .

Make the Guacamole

1.Place the avocado and lime juice in a large mixing bowl and toss to combine well.

2.Add the salt and cayenne and mash using a potato masher. I like my guacamole chunky, so I leave some chunks for texture.

3.Add the onions, tomatoes, garlic, cilantro and jalapeno and stir to combine. Serve.
