Cinnamon Roasted Sweet Potatoes


Ingredients

  • 4 medium sweet potatoes
  • 2 Tbsp coconut oil, melted
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt


Method
Preheat oven to 400° Fahrenheit. (200° Celcius). Cut ends off sweet potatoes and peel if they are not organic. Slice them lengthwise, then into strips about 1/4" thick.

In a large bowl, toss sweet potato slices with coconut oil, cinnamon and salt, making sure all pieces are coated. Spread out over baking sheet. Bake for 40-45 minutes (until edges are lightly browned), flipping halfway.


Cranberry Sauce



Cranberry is high in antioxidants, which detoxifies free radicals. It is also rich in beta-carotene, a liver restorative and blood alternative. This recipe includes a sweetener, which reduces cranberries' astringency. Pungent ginger opposes the cold quality of the cranberry, warming the flavors and making the sauce digestible for all.

Ingredients

  • 12 oz cranberry
  • 1/4 inch ginger (fresh)
  • 1/2 whole orange
  • 1/4 tsp orange zest
  • 2 tbsp rapadura sugar


Method
Juice the orange. Chop up the zest. Mix together all ingredients plus 1/4c water. Bring to a boil, then lower heat. Simmer, uncovered, until jam-like. As cranberries soften mash with a potato masher.
