How pumped are you that I finally posted something that wasn’t dessert related? Yeah, I know, I hate it too.
Anywho, I don’t know much. That’s a given. But I do know a couple things.
- I like attractive men. One in particular.
- I still sweat profusely at night, even with the window air conditioning blowing at 63 degrees directly onto my face.
- I hate the way asparagus makes my pee smell.
- I wish I could make passionate love to this recipe.
- And I really like sweet and salty things together.
Let’s get one thing straight. I REALLY liked this dish. That’s why half the plantain chips are missing. Yeah, I know, I didn’t put plantain chips in the recipe title. Go on, be mad. But that was just too many words. I couldn’t stop eating the plantain or sweet potato chips as they cooked. I burned my mouth prooooobably 6 times. And fingers. My fingertips are numb.
I also picked my nose after touching jalapenos. Both nostrils. Tears may or may not have occurred. As well as snot. Runny style.
I’m contemplating eating my way through a bag of Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips…or any dark chocolate for that matter. Thank gosh I’m too lazy to go to the store.
Tomorrow’s post is going to be all about what I eat in a day. I might make this a regular Friday thing. You nosey people liked it so I’ll keep posting. I’m nosey too, don’t worry. Other people’s lives are far more exciting than my own. I mean, look at this damn rambling.
Chunky Pineapple Guacamole with Grilled Sweet Potato Chips
- Prep Time: 20 mins
- Cook Time: 20 mins
- Total Time: 40 minutes
- Yield: 1-3 1x
Ingredients
- 2 avocados, cut in half, pits removed
- 1/2 pineapple, diced
- 1 skinny yam or sweet potato, sliced thin into chips
- 1 plantain, ends removed, peeled and sliced into 1/4 inch pieces, smashed with the bottom of a mug (use a ripe one-brownish color)
- 1/2 jalapeno, finely diced
- 1/4 red onion, finely diced
- 2–3 tablespoon cilantro, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, finely diced
- 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 1–2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
- aluminum foil
Instructions
- Heat up your grill.
- Place sliced sweet potatoes on aluminum foil and use a brush to brush on some coconut oil on each sweet potato and top off with some salt.
- Place on grill to let cook. You will need to flip them after about 8-10 minutes depending on how hot your grill is. I kept the temperature down low to make sure to not burn the chips.
- While you sweet potatoes are cooking, heat up a large skillet under medium heat with enough coconut oil to coat the bottom on the pan.
- When oil is very hot, add your smashed plantains to the oil and let cook for 3-5 minutes per side. Once they are cooked through on both sides (browned) place on a paper towel to soak up the excess oil.
- Now add your insides of your avocados to a large bowl and use a fork to mash up the avocado.
- Then add your pineapple, jalapeno, red onion, garlic, cilantro, spices, and salt and pepper to the avocados.
- Mix thoroughly.
- Once your plantain chips have cooled and your sweet potato chips have charred a bit and cooled on a piece of a paper towel, start dipping.
- I love guac. Especially with sweetness added to it.
- Boom.
I am so trying this this weekend!!! looks awesome!! You are so damn funny. I spit coffee out when I read the Jalepeno line! 🙂
What kind of tool do you use to get such awesome chip-like slices?
You can use a mandoline, but I just used a knife for these and cut them super thin
sounds fabulous!!
and you left the skin on the sweet potato?
yes ma’am!
ok as far as that how sweet it is, almost make you hate your paleo life, food porn… I do believe we can make that happen, paleo style, with your banana bread recipe (that I usually make with almond butter anyway)… might require some testing… some tasty tasty testing… baconnnn
I’m positive i could make that happen…and might lol
Yes, when I pulled that recipe up, I immediately started converting to Paleo in my head. Now, I’m really stupid hungry even though I just ate. Guac looks awesome too as do all of your recipes. If not for your blog, I would probably starve.
As much as I love LOVE your desserts, I get really lazy with my cooking when you post mostly desserts and end up eating copious amounts of Chipotle.
I fail to see the problem in that? double meat n guac? ummm YES
“I also picked my nose after touching jalapenos. Both nostrils. Tears may or may not have occurred. As well as snot. Runny style.”
I just spit coffee all over my computer when I read that… Your page has made my paelo “adventure” (yes those were necessary quotations…) much easier! Keep up the great work!
from laughing… not just randomly spitting precious coffee everywhere for no reason. HA!
Same here, Stephanie. I eat the crap out of chipotle. 🙂 I’m gonna try this tomorrow though.
if I wanted to use an oven, what would be the temperature…im not big on grilling.
Try out this recipe Elena for temperature help! https://paleomg.com/superbowl-snacks-sweet-potato-chips/
Please please please turn the “How Sweet It Is Food Porn” into something I can stuff my face with……k thanks.
I’m going to my boss’s office right now to quit my job so I can go home and make this dish! It sounds amazing!!
