The perfect combo recipe, with the beta-carotene in sweet potato plus the healthy fats in avocado which enable beta-carotene to be better absorbed.

  • 2 limes, juiced

  3. Add the coconut oil and sea salt, tossing well to combine.
  4. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove, toss and bake for 10 more minutes, to bake evenly.
  5. While potatoes are cooking, prepare avocado dip by placing avocado, lime juice and garlic in a food processor – pulsing until smooth.
