Cinnamon and Smoked Paprika Sweet Potato Fries

Cinnamon and Smoked Paprika Sweet Potato Fries

Ingredients:
2 large sweet potatoes
1 tbsp. cinnamon
1 tbsp. smoked paprika
olive oil

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Wash the sweet potatoes and cut into thick, even slices – about an inch thick. Place the slices in a bowl and cover them in a generous amount of olive oil, 1 tbsp. of paprika and 1 tbsp. of cinnamon. Use your hands to mix it all together, covering the potato slices. Transfer slices to a baking sheet.

Allow them to bake for about an hour, although they will need to be turned over once or twice during cooking to make sure that they’re evenly cooked. Once they are perfectly soft and tender they’re ready to be enjoyed!

Sweet Potato and Roasted Red Pepper Bisque

Sweet Potato and Roasted Red Pepper Bisque

Ingredients:
1 sweet potato
1/4 red bell pepper
1 cup vegetable broth or water
1 1/2 tsp. olive oil
1 tsp. grated peeled ginger root
Bragg Liquid Aminos (to taste)

Directions:
Peel and cube sweet potato. Cook in boiling water until tender. Drain and set aside. Meanwhile, roast a whole red pepper in the oven at 400 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes, turning every 10 minutes until the skin is charred.

Place sweet potato, pepper, broth or water, olive oil, ginger root, and Bragg Liquid Aminos in blender. (If you want chunky soup, set aside some of the sweet potatoes and peppers.) Blend thoroughly, adding more liquid to achieve desired consistency. Transfer to a pot and gently heat on low until hot. Add salt, or seasoning if desired.

Note: I like to have leftovers so we used two large sweet potatoes and an entire red pepper so we could take it to lunch throughout the week.
