Sweet potato chips with spicy guacamole
Serves 4 Starters and mains
Ingredients
- 1.5kg sweet potatoes, unpeeled, cut into chips
- 3 ripe avocados
- juice 1 lime
- 1-2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1⁄2-1 fresh jalapeño pepper, deseeded and finely chopped
Method
Preheat the oven to 220C/425F/ Gas 7 and line a baking tray with greaseproof paper. Place a pan of water over a high heat and bring to the boil. Add the sweet potato chips and cook for 2 minutes, then drain. Lay the sweet potatoes on the baking tray, season and bake for 20-25 minutes, shaking from time to time, until golden brown on the outside and soft on the inside. Meanwhile, make the guacamole by removing the stones and skin from the avocados. Mash the flesh in a bowl with a fork (or use a food processor), then mix in the lime juice, garlic, jalapeño pepper and season. Transfer the baked sweet potatoes to a large plate and serve with the spicy guacamole.
