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

After blending the VitaMix for 30 seconds
Yum!
Have you ever made softserve in a blender?
Hi!!! I'm new to your blog. I JUST got a new Excalibur Dehydrator. I've been stalking blogs looking for recipes. I LOVE the macaroon idea! I'm also going to try crackers soon. Check out my blog to see my first 2 experiments so far- apples and grapes. Yumo! :D
-A
P.S. I'm going to add your blog to my blogroll. Hope you don't mine! :D
I know the second ingredient! It's LOVE!!!!!!
These look amazing! I made raw peanut butter macaroons a few weeks ago. I will be trying these this weekend. Thanks so much, and love your blog!
You must stop enticing me with all of these sweets when I can't bake for a week!
Hayley you crack me up girl :)
Daisychain, by all means I LOVE new followers girl, thanks for stoppin by and finding me!
Shannon- Neither of your guesses are correct.
Deb-You're correct on 1 guess.
InsideDancing-You're correct on 1 guess.
Keep the guesses coming! Now you can cross-reference each other's guesses if you're sleuthy (or care LOL)
I'm lucky that both my kids can sleep through my crazy loud Blendtec. It actually puts Hayden to sleep.
As for my guesses for the two secret ingredients, I'll say cinnamon and some kind of nut butter. Am I on the right track?
I found your blog through Victoria Hart,
these looks gorgeous, hope you don't mind a new follower
Holy macarooni Batman!! Those look WAY better than the regular joe schmo macaroons I've eaten. Man I could go for one of those right now. You are seriously dedicated to stay up until almost 2am making those!
I need to go check out this other peanut thai sauce you made. I also need to make your green dressing from the other day, your raw apple crumble (as soon as Chris gets all this damn birthday cake eaten) and a bunch of other stuff. My fridge runneth over!
You are killing me here. I am guessing almond meal and flax? Am I close?! Look delish. Please fly to NY next week :D
