Directions

1. Prepare the sweet potatoes: In a small bowl, combine cumin, salt, and pepper. Set aside. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Peel potatoes, cut each in half lengthwise, and cut each half into 6 wedges. In a large bowl, combine the cut potatoes, oil, and spice mixture. Toss until potatoes are evenly coated.
2. Bake the fries: On a baking sheet, arrange potatoes in a single layer and place on the middle shelf of the oven. Bake until edges are crisp and potatoes are cooked through -- about 30 minutes. Serve immediately.

Carob Almond Cookies

Carob Almond Cookies

Ingredients:

• 1/3 cup almond butter
• 2 Tablespoons oil
• 1 and 1/2 large apples (pears can also be used)
• 2 eggs
• 1/4 teaspoon unbuffered, corn-free vitamin C crystals
• 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
• (1 tsp. of your favorite baking powder can be substituted for the vitamin C and baking soda)
• 3/4 cup carob powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• Whole almonds - about 30 (optional)
• 1 and 1/4 cups brown rice flour or 1 cup brown rice flour + 1/4 cup spelt or kamut flour
• *Note: If you want, you can try playing around with the types of flour. I'm sure more variations are possible.

How to make it:

1. Oil two cookie sheets and preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. Chop apples into small chunks and put in blender.
3. Add almond butter, oil, eggs, and vitamin C crystals. Puree everything together. You may need to push the apples down a few times to get them started. If more liquid is needed to make the puree, add a bit of water.
4. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda (or baking powder, if you are not using the vitamin C crystals and baking soda), carob powder, and salt. Mix well.
5. Add the puree to the dry mix and stir just until everything is well blended.
6. Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls onto the cookie sheets.
7. If desired, push an almond into the top of each cookie. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes.
8. Cookies are done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out dry or only slightly moist.
9. Allow to cool for 5 minutes, then remove from cookie sheet with a spatula and enjoy!
10. Refrigerate in an airtight container any cookies you don't eat right away.
