Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This is key for getting those sweet potatoes perfectly roasted.
- 2
In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato cubes with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until they're evenly coated.
- 3
Spread the sweet potato cubes onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure they’re in a single layer—this helps them get crispy!
- 4
Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until they're tender and slightly caramelized. Don’t forget to shake the pan halfway through to help them cook evenly.
- 5
While the sweet potatoes are roasting, scoop out the avocado flesh into a bowl. Add the lime juice and mash it gently with a fork until it’s creamy but still has some texture.
- 6
Once the sweet potatoes are done, let them cool slightly before plating. Arrange them on a platter like little planets.
- 7
Spoon the avocado mash on top of the sweet potatoes to create your 'orbit'.
- 8
Sprinkle with chopped cilantro and chili flakes for a pop of color and flavor.
- 9
Serve warm and enjoy the delightful mix of flavors and textures!
