Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 medium sweet potato
¼ cup chopped cilantro
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons tahini
2 cloves garlic, pressed
1 teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes, or more to taste
1 tablespoon chopped pistachios

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
  • Place the potato on the baking sheet, and using a fork, repeatedly pierce the top of the sweet potato to keep it from exploding in the oven.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until sweet potato is fork-tender and cooked through, 45 to 50 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • Cut sweet potato in half once cool enough to handle, scoop out the flesh, and place in a food processor or blender. Add cilantro, lime juice, tahini, garlic, cumin, salt, and red pepper flakes. Blend until well combined and smooth. Taste, and adjust seasoning if necessary.
  • Spoon dip into a bowl, garnish with chopped pistachios, and serve.

THIS FRENCH ONION DIP WITH SWEET POTATO CHIPS IS NUTRITIONIST-APPROVED



This French Onion Dip with Sweet Potato Chips Is Nutritionist-Approved image

Ditch the sodium-bomb seasoning packets and sour cream-and-mayonnaise-laden dip (which can pack a small meal's worth of calories and sat fat into a single serving) for our homemade dip. And be patient with the caramelizing process-slowly sizzled onions have noteworthy sweetness and concentrated umami. You'll know the onions are done when they become deep chestnut in color and nearly melt-in-your-mouth tender. And because no dip is complete without a dipper, baked sweet potatoes will satisfy your chip craving for half the calories of most bagged varieties. Dehydrating the potatoes in the oven before roasting helps them develop crispy edges and tender centers. With big flavor and less heft, our healthier ode to the classic is a delicious way to sneak in extra vegetables.

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
4 medium or 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled, sliced into 1/2-inch-thick rounds
2 medium or 1 large Vidalia onion, peeled, sliced 1/2-inch thick
1/4 cup canola oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups half-and-half
4 tablespoons freshly grated horseradish
2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
8 ounces Gruyere cheese, grated (about 2 cups)

Steps:

  • Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with the butter.
  • Oil the sliced sweet potatoes and onions with the canola oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill the sweet potatoes and onions until slightly charred on each side and just halfway cooked. Set aside.
  • Combine the half-and-half, horseradish, thyme, 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in a bowl. Sprinkle one-third of the Gruyere in an even layer over the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Layer one-third of the grilled sweet potatoes and onions on top of the Gruyere. Repeat twice¿one-third of the cheese, one-third of the vegetables¿to create three even cheese-vegetable layers. Pour the half-and-half mixture over the top, cover with foil and bake for 35 to 40 minutes. Uncover and continue baking until the sweet potatoes are tender and the gratin is golden brown, another 15 to 20 minutes. Let rest for 15 minutes before serving.
