Preparation
Sweet Potato Chips
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Melt the coconut oil. Slice the sweet potatoes crosswise, about half a centimetre thick, leaving the skin. Put them a large bowl and add the cumin, paprika, liquid coconut oil and sea salt and mix well.
- Evenly place the sweet potato slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 30 minutes, then turn the oven to 'broil' and grill the potatoes 1-2 minutes on each side until they are golden brown, making sure not to burn them! Let cool.
- While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the salsa and guacamole.
- Arrange the roasted potato slices on a nice wooden board or plate. Add a dollop of guacamole on each slice and top with the almond salsa. Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro.
Almond Salsa
- Soak the almonds overnight. In the morning, rinse, drain, peel and chop the almonds coarsely and set aside.
- Dice the cherry tomatoes and red pepper.
- Chop the olives and slice the green onions.
- Put all the ingredients into a small bowl, add olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Mix well.
Guacamole
- Finely grate the garlic.
- Put the avocado flesh in a bowl and add the remaining ingredients.
- Mash with a fork to mix, making sure to keep big chunks of avocado for texture.
- Adjust seasoning to taste.
