Sweet Potato Chips Dusted With Chili Powder Food

CHILI-ROASTED SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Toss 1 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes(cut into 1-inch pieces) with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon each chili powder and kosher salt and a few grinds of pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and bake at 450 degrees F, stirring halfway through, until crisp, 35 to 45 minutes. Puree 1/4 cup warm water, 1 minced garlic clove, the juice of 1 lime, 2/3 cup cilantro, 3 tablespoons sunflower seed butter and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt in a blender. Serve with the potatoes.

AB'S CHILI POWDER

Steps:

• Place all of the chiles and the cumin into a medium nonstick saute pan or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Cook, moving the pan around constantly, until you begin to smell the cumin toasting, approximately 4 to 5 minutes. Set aside and cool completely.
• Once cool, place the chiles and cumin into the carafe of a blender along with the garlic powder, oregano, and paprika. Process until a fine powder is formed. Allow the powder to settle for at least a minute before removing the lid of the carafe. Store in an airtight container for up to 6 months.

ANCHO CHILI POWDER

Steps:

• This homemade chili powder will add a smoky depth to chili and as a dry rub for steaks. Toast the ancho chile pieces over low heat in a dry skillet until fragrant, shaking the pan so they don't scorch. Put the chiles in a mini food processor and pulse to a powder. Add the remaining ingredients and buzz again to combine.
