Ingredients

For the Smashed Avocados:

  • 3 pieces Haas avocados
  • 1 small red onion
  • 1 piece red chili adjust to taste
  • 1 handful coriander leaves fresh
  • 1 piece red pepper
  • 3 pieces limes juiced
  • 100 milliliters olive oil for richness
  • to taste salt
  • to taste cayenne pepper for spice

For the Sweet Potato Chips:

  • 2 pieces sweet potatoes sliced thinly

Instructions

Preparation Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and peel the sweet potatoes, then slice them thinly, about 1/8 inch thick, to ensure they crisp up nicely. Arrange the slices on a baking sheet in a single layer, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt. Toss to coat evenly.
  • Bake the sweet potato slices in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them toward the end to prevent burning.
  • While the sweet potatoes are baking, cut the Haas avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl. Add the finely chopped red onion, diced red chili, chopped coriander leaves, and diced red pepper.
  • Squeeze the juice of the 3 limes into the avocado mixture, and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and cayenne pepper to taste. Use a fork to gently smash the avocados while mixing everything together. You want it to be chunky, so don’t over-mash!
  • Once the sweet potato chips are out of the oven and cooled slightly, serve them alongside the smashed avocado mixture. You can use the chips to scoop up the avocado or simply enjoy them side by side. Garnish with extra coriander or lime wedges if desired.
