SWEET POTATO FRIES with AVOCADO DIP

Nearly perfect!

Few days ago I saw Sarah's recipe and I really wanted to try it. Unfortunately, I did not have cornmeal so I used ground flax seeds instead. I really loved how great effect I got at the end :)

SWEET POTATO FRIES

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 sweet potatoes
• 4 TBS ground flax seeds
• 3 TBS extra virgin olive oil
• sea salt

METHOD:

Preheat oven to 200C. Line large baking tray with parchment paper. 

Cut potatoes in the same size long pieces (not too thick). Rinse and dry them well. Pour extra virgin olive oil to a bowl and coat all pieces of sweet potato. Transfer them to another bowl with ground flax seeds and coat them well. Then place them individually on baking tray about 1&1/2 cm away from each other. Sprinkle with sea salt.

Put into the oven and bake until lightly brown and crispy, about 30 minutes.  

* You can also add your favourite herbs.

AVOCADO CACAO MOUSSE

When I found out you could use avocado to make desserts, I was not sure about that as avocado had been always consumed as guacamole or some variations of that dip at my home. However, I decided to have a go at making sweet dishes based on that green fruit. After few attempts I found the perfect one.

Avocado and cacao give quite bitter taste. But when fresh fruits and some lemon added, the flavours are nicely balanced. 

Avocado is very nutritious. It is a fantastic source of good fat. It is associated with good health. So when using good quality ingredients, it becomes a healthy dessert - that is like a dream for a person who loves sweet treats!
