Ingredients

Scale

Avocado Mojo 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 creaminess)

Roasted Sweet Potatoes and Onions

2 sweet potatoes
1 red onion
2 tablespoons avocado oil
2 tablespoons taco seasoning plus a pinch of smoked paprika (optional)

Protein

Protein of choice (e.g., Amylu chicken meatballs or a hot, roasty rotisserie chicken)

Instructions

Prep the Sweet Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Peel and cut the sweet potatoes into wedges or your preferred shape for roasting. Place them on a large baking sheet.
Season Sweet Potatoes: Toss the sweet potato wedges with 2 tablespoons avocado oil, taco seasoning, and a pinch of smoked paprika until evenly coated.
Prepare Onions: Peel the red onion and cut it into thin wedges. Arrange the onion wedges on the baking sheet nestled among the sweet potatoes.
Roast Vegetables: Bake the sweet potatoes and onions in the oven for 35 minutes total. After 20 minutes, take the pan out to flip the pieces for even roasting. At this time, add your selected protein to the baking sheet if using pre-cooked meatballs to warm through during the last 15 minutes.
Make the Avocado Mojo Sauce: While the veggies roast, blend together avocado oil, half an avocado, orange juice, white vinegar, garlic, cilantro, kosher salt, and optional mayo in a food processor or blender until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Set aside.
Assemble Bowls: Pour some avocado mojo sauce into bowls or plates. Top with roasted sweet potatoes, onions, and warmed protein. Serve immediately for a comforting, flavorful bowl with built-in dipping sauce.

Notes

Using mayo in the sauce creates a creamier texture but can be omitted for a lighter version.
If using raw protein that requires cooking, adjust baking time accordingly or cook separately.
Sweet potato wedges can be cut into fries or cubes depending on preference.
For added smokiness, a pinch of smoked paprika is recommended but optional.
Leftover sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
