Sweet Potato Wedges
Garlic Cashew Dip (L2)
Directions
Preheat your oven to 400°F
- Arrange the sweet potato wedges on a baking sheet and lightly brush them with avocado oil to ensure the seasoning adheres
- Sprinkle the sweet potatoes with cumin, salt, and pepper
Lay the garlic bulb on its side and slice off a small portion of the top to expose the tips of the cloves, ensuring the base remains intact. Wrap the garlic in parchment paper, then in foil, sealing it well
- Roast the sweet potatoes and garlic together for 40 minutes until the potatoes are tender
After roasting, prepare the cashew cream: Carefully unwrap the garlic from the foil and parchment paper. Once the garlic is cool enough to handle, remove the papery skin
In a food processor or blender, combine the roasted garlic, soaked cashews, plant-based milk, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth
Serve the cashew cream drizzled over the roasted sweet potatoes or on the side as a dip, based on your preference
- Garnish with chopped parsley or your choice of fresh herbs
