Halloween Recipe #2- Countdown to Halloween!
As I looked on to what I had pulled out for dinner I thought "How can I possibly make ANY of this Halloween-ish?!" I had talapia, green beans, and a sweet potato in front on me....
And then it hit me! Sweet Potato Witch Fingers! Witches are known to have pointy nails, so if I can cut this potato into fries and then give them a pointy tip to resemble witches pointy finger nails I could be in luck!
Step One- Preheat oven to 350. Wash and dry the sweet potato.
Step Two- Cut the ends of the potato so it can sit on the cutting board without falling over.
Step Three- Cut the potato into slices approximately 1/2 inch thick. Make sure the potato is vertical so you can make the fries long.
Step Four- Cut the potato slices into thirds. Then use your knife to add a point to the top of the fry (see picture to the left). You will take a little off each side of the top.*
*Waste Alert!-Don't throw away those little pieces of potato. Throw them on the pan to cook or save them to mix in with a breakfast scramble.
Step 5- Drizzle olive oil (or coconut oil) over the fries and whatever seasonings you would like. I topped mine with chili powder to add some kick! Cook for 25 minutes. Step Six- Once done, allow to cool for several minutes.
Step Seven- Place wax paper in a cup and stack the witches fingers inside, almost as if they are coming out of the cup, and serve with your favorite dipping sauce!
P.S. Stay tuned as I bring more healthy Halloween recipes your way over the next 5 days!
