Spiced Sweet Potato Fries

sweet potato

Ingredients

2 large sweet potatoes, cut into thin wedges

1 1/2 T safflower oil

1/4 t cumin

1/4 t paprika

1/4 t cayenne pepper

salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F

Cut potatoes in half lengthwise, then into 1/4″ slices or wedges

In a large bowl or Tupperware container toss potato wedges with oil and spices (To evenly spread the oil mixture put all ingredients into a covered container and shake vigorously.)

Spread out potato slices in a single layer on a wire cooling rack on top of a broiler pan and bake for 20 minutes, then reduce heat to 375 degrees F and continue to bake for 10-15 minutes or until crispy.

Serve with organic ketchup

Note: If you don’t have a wire cooling rack use a nonstick cookie sheet and bake for the same amount of time turning them over once

Raw Pumpkin Parfaits with Cranberries and Ginger Whipped “Cream”

Pumpkin Purée

1/2 medium pumpkin, peeled, seeded and cut into chunks (you need to use a sugar pumpkin for this)

1/4- 1/2 cup water

1 teaspoon cinnamon

2 tablespoons raw agave nectar or sweetener of choice

1. Place pumpkin, cinnamon and agave in food processor or high-speed blender. Pulse until puréed, adding water as needed. You will have to scrape down the sides of the food processor while processing.

1/2 cup cashews, soaked overnight, rinsed and drained

1/2 cup water

1/4 cup coconut oil, melted

2 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated

2 tablespoons raw agave nectar

1. Place cashews and water in high-speed blender. Blend until smooth.

2. Add melted coconut oil, fresh ginger and raw agave. Process until well blended.

3. Transfer to container and chill until set.

 

Cranberry Layer

1 cup frozen cranberries, thawed

1/4 cup raw agave nectar

1. Place in food processor and process until purée is achieved. I like this layer to be a little chunky.

 

Pecan Layer

1 cup pecans

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1. Place pecans and cinnamon in food processor. Pulse until chopped.

 

Assembly

1. In parfait glass, place a layer of pecans, topped with a layer of the pumpkin purée, a layer of cranberries then a layer of the ginger whipped “cream”. Repeat topping with more pecans.
