SPICY SWEET POTATO DIP
Steps:
- Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking/roasting tray with parchment paper.
- Peel sweet potato and cut into one-inch cubes. Smash/flatten you garlic cloves with a knife.
- Spread garlic and sweet potato spaced on a parchment-lined baking/roasting tray and drizzle with oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and roast for 30 minutes or until tender and easily mashed with a fork.
- Allow to cool slightly, then add to a blender or food processor and puree until smooth.
- Add tahini, salt, cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, cumin and the juice from 1/2 a lime. Blend well. For a thinner consistency, add a little water (1 TBSP at a time) and continue blending until smooth and creamy. I like mine extra thick!
- Pour contents into a small serving bowl and surround with your choice of fluffy flatbread, pita chips, and carrot sticks. For a side-dish vibe, use the dip as a flavorful base for your favorite protein and veggies. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Special equipment: deep-fry thermometer, mandoline slicer
- Pour oil to a depth of 4 inches in a heavy-bottomed pot and heat over medium-high heat to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with paper towels.
- Mix the salt, sugar, chili powder and cayenne in a small bowl and set aside. Very thinly slice the sweet potatoes on a mandoline slicer and carefully drop into the hot oil in batches, being careful to not overcrowd the pan. Deep-fry until golden around edges, 45 seconds to 1 minute, and transfer to a lined baking sheet. Sprinkle the chips with seasoning while they are still hot and let cool to crisp. Remove the chips from the baking sheet to a serving bowl and eat immediately while still crunchy!
SWEET POTATOES WITH YOGURT AND CILANTRO-CHILE SAUCE
In this luscious vegetable dish, velvety sweet potatoes get a spicy jolt from a chile-spiked cilantro sauce spooned on top. Greek yogurt adds a creamy element and a bit of protein if you're serving these as a vegetarian main course. As a side dish, they are satisfying yet not the least bit heavy, thanks to the bright flavors of the sauce. You can make the sauce up to 4 hours ahead. Any longer than that and it starts to lose its fresh, tart taste. It's also very good on roasted carrots.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees.
- In a large bowl, combine 1/4 cup oil, the honey, juice from 1 lime, a large pinch of salt and pepper to taste, and toss with potato wedges. Spread in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet, bake until tender and lightly browned in spots, 45 to 55 minutes. Sprinkle with additional salt to taste.
- Meanwhile, in a food processor, pulse to combine 1/3 cup oil, the cilantro, chiles, garlic, almonds, juice from remaining lime, vinegar and a large pinch of salt, until it forms a chunky purée. Taste and add more salt if needed.
- Spoon the sauce over the potatoes, dollop with some yogurt, drizzle with oil, and serve with any remaining yogurt on the side.

Tips:
- Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for firm, unblemished sweet potatoes that are about the same size. This will ensure that they cook evenly.
- Cut the sweet potatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly and prevent some chips from being overcooked while others are still undercooked.
- Toss the sweet potato slices with cornstarch: This will help them crisp up in the oven.
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet: Make sure there is enough space between the sweet potato slices so that they can cook evenly.
- Bake the sweet potato chips until they are crispy: This will take about 15-20 minutes. Keep an eye on them so that they don't burn.
- Serve the sweet potato chips with your favorite dip: The cilantro dip is a great option, but you could also use ranch dressing, hummus, or guacamole.
Conclusion:
Spicy Sweet Potato Chips with Cilantro Dip are a delicious and healthy snack that is perfect for parties, potlucks, or just a casual get-together with friends. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a tasty and satisfying snack, give these sweet potato chips a try. You won't be disappointed!
