Sweet Potato Wedges with Guacamole

Ingredients

For the potatoes

3 medium sweet potatoes; cut in wedges

5 T Avocado Oil

For the Spice Mix

1 T Smoked Paprika

1 tsp Cinnamon

1/4 tsp Cayenne Pepper (can substitute with chili powder)

1/4 tsp Nutmeg

1/4 tsp Ground Ginger

1 tsp Cracked Black Pepper and Salt to taste

Method

Preheat oven to 400F. Mix everything well in a big bowl, line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and spread sweet potato preferably in one layer. Bake for about 40 minutes until crispy. I prefer checking every 20 minutes to check if ready and turn over if necessary (depends on the type oven).

For extra crispy sweet potatoes, broil for a couple of minutes at the end.

For the guacamole

Ingredients

3 mashed avocados

1 small diced onion

2 tomatoes diced

2 gloves of garlic, minced

Juice of 1 lime

Salt and pepper to taste

Method

Mix all the ingredients in a medium bowl and enjoy!
