Roasted Sweet Potato Rounds
Enter 1 long-n-skinny sweet potato.
Then I peeled it and sliced it into uniform about 1/4th inch slices, and made fry shapes out of 3 peeled carrots. Put in a roasting pan with foil. Don’t forget to line with parchment or foil unless you like doing dishes with lotsa scrapity scrap of food chunks.
I sprinkled about 1 Tbsp Each of Cinnamon & Ground Ginger, couple twists o’ cracky blacky, and then drizzled about 2-3 Tbsp EVOO over the top.
I covered the veggies with another piece of foil across the top and roasted ’em at 400F in the oven for 40 minutes.
Then I uncovered them, flipped em, added a little….and roasted for another 15 mins uncovered.
At this point, if you made a glaze of 2 Tbsp Lime Juice, 2 Tbsp Maple Syrup or Agave, 1 Tsp of Cumin, 1/2 Tsp of Chili Powder or Cayenne you’d have awesome Tex-Mex inspired Sweet Potato Wedges. Let that glaze cook on those taters for the last 10-15 minsand you’re so in. I was feeding these to a husband who isn’t thrilled with Tex-Mex but rock it out in your casa.
Voila, really delish.
Here’s dinner…spiralized zuke noods with the Herbalicious Goddess Dressing, tomato & cuke chunks snuggled up next to the roasted sweetie potatoes and carrots.
Some other eats that were really simple, really awesome. A bed of greens, a few B.S., tomato chunks, carrots, cukes, red & yellow pepps, and dressed with OJ, Agave, and Cracked Black. I love basic, colorful salads with simple sweet dressing. It’s music to my tastebuds. And my tummy.
Earlier I had also made a Breakfast Cookie.
Mix and wait
A day later, enjoy.

Serves 2
2 frozen bananas, in chunks
2 teaspoons bourbon vanilla extract
1/4 c granulated sugar, optional
1/4 c milk, nutmilk, or water, optional – add this only if needed to get your machine “going” if it seems like it’s working too hard to break down and liquify the bananas
Combine all ingredients in blender, Vita-Mix, or food processor and blend or process until creamy. Serve immediately.

After blending the VitaMix for 30 seconds
Yum!
Have you ever made softserve in a blender?
Hey sweet lady, just wanted to stop by and say hi… Your treats are still looking so sweet, and I can't wait to try your peanut sauce when I get the chance and remember to pick up ACV at the shops… Oh and I really really wanna know the secret ingredients to your coconut balls, I'm a recent coconut convert after never being overly crazy about the commercial sweetened stuff, and I'd love to give these a try too. Catch ya soon xx
Mmm, those macaroons look amazing! You sure are getting your moneys worth out of that dehydrator. This weekend my boyfriend drove up to visit me (I live in Canada, and he goes to school in the states), which was totally super. I love giveaways, and it would be awesome to have a chance to try a raw cookie, since I've never tried one – buuuut, international shipping is a beast. I'm sure one of your american readers would love to be hooked up with those macaroons, though! :)

Wow, girl, you've been blazing a dehydrated trail with that machine of yours! I've so been lovin' your posts and all these awesome, creative recipes! I'm just trying to catch my breath from this whirlwind my life is right now. I'll be back to regular posting and commenting soon–promise!
Hugs,
Michele
Re. The rude comment- you know I told you…delete delete delete!
What a nightmare about the drippage- that happened to me with my old dehydrator- it actually MELTED the plastic!!? I had to throw it away! I even had parchment on the trays.
Aren't there special liners you can buy?
I think the two secret ingreds are almond butter and hmmmm ?cacao powder? Do tell!
Thank you all for the love on the blondies and the bloggie :)
They are really yum and I wish you all coulda come over for one.
Thanks so much for your kind words. I just had a rude comment on my yoga post and not sure if I should let it stay up or delete it. For the seasoned bloggers, what do you do? Or even the unseasoned bloggers, if you get rude comments…do you let them stay up or not?
Lordy lord, lady, you stay up late! I've had many a late-night baking sesh, too, though… I kind of like being up in the kitchen when no one else is.
Your blondie macs look SO GOOD. I'm so obsessed with coconut now it's ridiculous.
Have a great night!
ooh I would definitely love the blondies hookup lol. They sound very yummy!
This weekend I did a whole lot of studying.. nooo fun. :( What delish macaroons!
Wow, I love this. I'm a healthy eating, yoga practicing, gluten-free-er as well. I even have the same dehydrator. Perfect — I'll try these vegan blondie macaroons of yours. They sound (and look) delish! Thanks!

Delicious! I could certainly go for some asap!! As for your question on my bloggy, I live right outside Chapel Hill NC but I don't consider myself a Southerner. We just moved a year ago from good ol Pittsburgh PA. Have a super Sunday :)
I woud love a contest to win some, I don't have a dehydrator and am DYING to try some!!!
I did what I wanted this weekend, sleep, cook, read, watch tv and it was fabulous!! Even turned off the phone!! It made me VERY happy!!!
I bet those pups would be so good with some PB (or sunbutter) Okay so I def. have a one tracked mind.
Enjoy the rest of your day Av :)!
Averie,
You are so cute! I love reading your blog. Those macaroons look scrumptious… I'd definitely like to 'win' some! I haven't taken the step of buying a dehydrator. I have my Blendtec and food processor, and that's as far as I am going right now. I still cook a lot of my veggies but mainly only eat fruits, veggies, and beans. All vegan but not all raw. I can't seem to give up beans!
You have totally outdone yourself girl! Those look bangin!
I could go for some of those macaroons – yum!
You make me want a dehydrator so much! Those macaroons look so delicious :D
Those look sooo good! I love desserts with coconut! yumm!
