Sweet potato fries
- 2 lbs of sweet potatoes, peeled & cut into 3 in long 1/2 in wide fries (I used a crinkle cutter knife)

Preparation
Boil 6 cups of water and combine with 4 cups of room temp water in a large pot. Let potatoes soak in pot on countertop for 1 hour while covered.
Dry fries well, mix with oil and seasonings, spread on parchment lined baking sheet in one layer. Bake at 425 F 35-40 minutes flipping when underside is golden.
While fries are baking, using a food processor, process on high everything except avocado and parsley, till it reaches desired consistency. Next add avocado and parsley, and process again on high. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Top the avocado hummus with cilantro, pumpkin seeds, a sprinkling of smoked paprika, and a drizzle of olive oil. Serve with the warm crispy sweet potato fries. Enjoy!
