Ingredients
Purple Sweet Potato Fries
- ~dozen mini or 3-4 large purple sweet potatoes
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- Himalayan sea salt, to taste
- 2 TBSP fresh dill
Beet Ketchup
- 1 bunch steamed red beets, diced
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 3/4 cup filtered water
- 1⁄4 cup maple syrup
- 1⁄4 cup diced onion
- 1⁄4 tsp ground coriander
- 1⁄4 tsp ground cumin
- Himalayan sea salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Scrub and peel beets and dice into quarters. Steam on the stovetop for 10-15 minutes, until fork tender. (If using pre-roasted beets you can skip this step).
- Combine the chopped steamed beets, apple cider vinegar, filtered water, maple syrup, cumin, coriander, and diced onion in a high speed blender and blend until smooth.
- Add mixture to a small saucepan and bring to a low boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 20- 25 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Add Himalayan sea salt and black pepper to taste.
- Store beet ketchup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
- To make the purple sweet potato fries, preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scrub and peel sweet potatoes and slice into “fries” with a knife.
- Spread sweet potato slices onto baking sheet so that none are touching (you may need two baking sheets to achieve this) and sprinkle them with garlic powder and Himalayan sea salt.
- Bake the fries for 25-35 minutes, flipping halfway to achieve even browning, until lightly browned and crispy.
- Remove the fries from the oven and serve them with fresh dill and beet ketchup!
- Store leftover fries in the refrigerator and reheat before serving. Store beet ketchup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for several weeks.
