Smashed Avocados with Sweet Potato Chips
Description
Smashed Avocados with Sweet Potato Chips blends ripe avocados with finely chopped red onion, red chili, coriander leaves, roasted and peeled red pepper, lime zest, and fresh lime juice, all combined with olive oil to form a creamy, flavorful dip. The recipe emphasizes preparation of the chips by thinly slicing unpeeled sweet potatoes and frying them at a moderate oil temperature to ensure a crisp texture without burning, similar to a jacket potato chip. The contrast between the smooth, lightly spicy avocado mixture and crunchy chips makes the snack satisfying and fresh.
The spread's balance of citrus, heat from chili, and herbal notes from coriander enrich the natural butteriness of the avocado. Serving the dish as a snack or appetizer highlights this interplay of textures and flavors. The preparation suggests care for chip crispness and freshness of the avocado mix to maximize enjoyment.
Ingredients
- 3 avocado we prefer the Haas variety
- 1 red onion small
- 1 red chili pepper
- Coriander leaves handful
- 1 red pepper
- 3 lime
- 100 milliliters olive oil
- salt to taste
- cayenne pepper
- 2 sweet potato
Instructions
- Wash and thinly slice the sweet potato with either a mandolin or a vegetable peeler. There is no need to peel them as the skin has great flavour once fried, just like a crispy jacket potato.
- Fry the potatoes in oil at 140° C-150° C (280° -300° Fahrenheit) for approximately 3-6mins it will take time to get crisp but must be at this heat in order to dry out and not burn, alternatively you can buy pretty good quality veg chips from most stores.
- Pat these dry and allow to cool.
- Blister the red pepper under the grill until it is nicely blackened.
- Put the peppers in a bowl and cover in cling film to allow the skin to come loose.
- Peel off the skin and scrape the skin and seeds away.
- Roughly chop the flesh of the pepper along with the onion, chilli and coriander.
- Finally place the peeled and de-stoned avocados in a bowl and lightly crush them with a fork.
- Add in all the other prepped ingredients and the olive oil.
- Zest the limes and add the lime juice, then season to taste with salt and cayenne pepper.
