Ingredients
  

Avocado Sauce
  • 1/3 cup avocado oil
  • half an avocado
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1/4 cup packed cilantro, leaves and stems
  • 1/2 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
  • 1/4 cup mayo (optional, for a creamier sauce)
Sweet Potatoes and Onions
  • 2 sweet potatoes
  • 1 red onion
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning + a pinch of smoked paprika, optional
Protein
  • protein of choice

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into wedges or another preferred shape.
  2. Arrange the sweet potatoes on a large baking sheet and coat them with avocado oil and taco seasoning.
  3. Peel the red onion and slice it into thin wedges, then place the pieces around the sweet potatoes on the baking sheet.
Baking
  1. Bake the vegetables for a total of 35 minutes. After 20 minutes, remove the pan, turn the sweet potato pieces, and add the meatballs if using pre-cooked meatballs.
  2. If using store-bought pre-cooked meatballs, place them on the baking sheet for the final 15 minutes of baking so they warm through.
Sauce
  1. While the vegetables roast, blend the avocado sauce ingredients until smooth. Taste and adjust as needed, then set aside.
Assembly
  1. Add avocado sauce to plates or bowls, then top with the meatballs, roasted sweet potatoes, and onions.

Notes

Add the mayo for a creamier sauce texture if desired. The sauce keeps for two days in the fridge. The sauce is mild as written, but adding a jalapeño can add heat. If the taco seasoning does not contain corn starch or corn flour, add a light sprinkle (1 teaspoon) with the taco seasoning to help the sweet potato fries develop a crispier golden exterior.
