Roasted Sweet Potatoes

Yummm, these Roasted Sweet Potatoes are our favorite side dish! Thanks to my sister-in-law, Rhea, for introducing these to me. I craved these when I'm on the Whole 30. They are such a treat if you like sweet potatoes! 
My husband loves to cut them up in tiny squares, because they crisp up better. Sweet potatoes actually crispy? Yes, with this recipe it's possible! Tiny squares is the key... forget the fry shape. :) 

Now, I wish I had exact quantities of ingredients for how I make these, but I don't. I do it very similarly to how I roast broccoli. I just kind of wing it.

Ingredients:
  • Sweet Potatoes
  • Avocado Oil (or Olive Oil)
  • Salt
  • Garlic Powder


Instructions:

Step 1: Choose however few or many potatoes you want to make; peel, and dice up in small squares.
        2: Spread them out on a large sheet pan. The more layered they are, the less they will crisp up.
        3. Drizzle avocado(or olive) oil over the top, sprinkle with garlic powder & salt. (If you want a little kick to them, add some cayenne pepper as well!)
        4: Bake in a 425 degree oven, for 1 hour. I stir them after 25 minutes, and more frequently towards the end. I will warn you! At 1 hour, they are plenty done, as we like them border line burnt. 😀 But they're crispy that way! So really watch them the last 15 minutes, so you can eat them the way you desire to!



Once again, sorry for my blogging absence. We've been traveling and so busy... I have lots of recipes to share with you, because even though we're busy, I still have to cook for my family. :) We're doing the Whole 30 right now, so I will have lots of those dishes coming up soon!

Crispy Paleo Pizza Crust

It's been over a year since I've posted a new recipe! I'd say it's about time. But you know how you have seasons of your life when you just make your tried and true recipes over and over again, and other seasons when it's so much fun to try something new? Well, pregnancy for me has definitely brought cooking down a notch, that's for sure. We've had a lot of comfort food around here lately, and things I know are good and wouldn't make me nauseous. Anyway- that to say, I only have 3 weeks until my due date for #3. I have a few recipes to share with you that we love before baby girl makes her arrival, but I can't promise a consistent update of new recipes.  So- back to our recipe for today. Homemade Pizza! This Crispy Paleo Pizza Crust is the best I've ever made, and it gets the crispiest, as long as you roll it out thin. But even if it's thick, we still love it. So make it how you love it! We had a Friday night pizza night where
