Sweet Potato Wedges with Garlic Avocado Aioli


 




I am enjoying finding sides, we seem to always do

the same sides a lot so finding new ones have been

fun for me since I will be trying them myself.

This recipe serves 8.


Ingredients; Sweet Potato Wedges:

2 large sweet potatoes, scrubbed and cut lengthwise into wedges


1-2T corn starch


2T evoo


Seasoning:

2tsp paprika

2tsp garlic powder

1/2tsp onion powder

1/4tsp cayenne pepper

1/2tsp red chili powder (optional)

2tsp dried thyme

sea salt to taste (after baking)


Avocado Garlic Aioli:

1 large avocado

2T mayo

1 minced clove of garlic

2tsp fresh squeezed lemon juice

sea salt to taste


Instructions; Sweet potato wedges....

Arrange oven racks to the upper level of your oven.

Place sweet potatoes in a large bowl and cover with cold water.

Allowing them to soak for 1 hour.


When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 450 degrees.

Lightly grease 2 baking sheets with cooking spray.

Place baking sheets into the oven to preheat.


Drain wedges and pat dry with paper towels to get as much

moisture off as you can.


Spoon corn starch into a large zip lock bag, add the wedges;

seal the bag with air in it and shake to evenly coat.


Using tongs, transfer coated wedges into a large bowl, shaking

off the excess starch. Drizzle wedges with oil and seasonings,

do not add the salt. Toss well to coat.


Carefully remove pre heated oven trays from the oven and

arrange wedges in a single layer with plenty of space between them.


Bake for 15-20 minutes. Remove trays from the oven and test

wedges with a fork. If they are just tender; flip them into

a single layer again with plenty of space. Return to the

oven and bake for 5-10 more minutes until crisp.


Turn the oven off and leave the door ajar allowing the

wedges to dry out slightly and crisp up in the oven for

about 5 minutes extra.


How to make the Aioli:

Combine avocado, mayo, garlic and lemon juice in a magic bullet,

or blender. Blend for 20 seconds or until smooth and creamy.

Scrape the sides with a spoon and blend for another 10 seconds.


Now you can season your potatoes and dip

with salt if desired.

DIY Cheesecloth Ghosts

I absolutely love these! I love decorating for Halloween, I have to say it is my favorite holiday. I don't think you can have enough decorations up! So when I found this DIY project I just had to share!   DIY Cheesecloth Ghosts     You can find styrofoam mannequin heads at wig shots. They normally can stand on their necks but for this project you need to suspend them to let the cloth flow freely. Materials: Cheesecloth Styrofoam mannequin heads Sponge brush Watered-down glue or fabric stiffener Screw eyes Monofilament Removable adhesive hooks (like command brand or painters tape).     Steps: Apply a layer of cheesecloth to the head, then generously brush over head and face with glue. Use hands to smooth the cloth into the facial features. Don't brush down the neck, stop at chin level so the fabric is loose below that. Repeat until you have 4 layers each being 7 feet long of cheesecloth...

DIY Tangled Inspired Paper Lanterns

  I am trying to pick some of the Disney movies a lot of kids love, for the week ahead. I love Tangled, I think the way they did it was great! I was always a huge Beauty & the Beast fan and while that will forever be my all time favorite the newer Disney movies are just awesome with the animation and the songs. I have a whole Disney playlist on my phone for Celeste and you guessed it Tangled is on there, that is one of her favorites as well. I found this DIY and knew I had to blog it that way when she is older we can make them together. Here's what you'll need: construction paper toilet paper rolls scissors glue crayons Create: First, put construction paper around the toilet paper roll. Measure the construction paper and cut it to fit to size. It doesn't have to be perfect. On some of the rolls you can decide to add extra decorations. Like the Rapunzel sun and swirls before you glue it on to the toilet paper roll. Remember this ...
