Chile Lime Chicken Wings, Beetroot Salad and Sweet Potato Fries

Two of my favourite paleo / healthy eating blogs are Quirky Cooking and Nom Nom Paleo and while looking for ideas I found some great recipes for dinner tonight.

I have wanted to make Quirky Cooking's Beetroot Salad for a long time so have finally taken the plunge... sweet potato fries are a staple in our house, and chicken wings are always a winner - so I am hoping to other 4 people in this house like it all too!

So here goes with the recipes and some pictures.

Sweet Potato Fries

Ingredients

1 large sweet potato
2 tablespoons of coconut oil
salt, pepper and paprika

Method

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees celcius.

I peeled the sweet potato and cut into even matchsticks.


Line a baking tray with baking paper and spread the matchsticks out.

Then bake for 20 minutes - turning after 10 minutes.

Then they should look something like this:


Chile Lime Chicken Wings

Ingredients

½ medium onion
2 jalapeno peppers
3 garlic cloves, peeled
½ cup coriander
Freshly ground pepper
Zest from 2 limes
¼ cup lime juice
2 tablespoons fish sauce
2 tablespoons coconut aminos
2.5kg chicken wings

Method

Place the onion, jalapenos, garlic, coriander, ground pepper, lime zest and juice, fish sauce, and coconut aminos into the bellini. Blitz it all on speed 9 for 10 seconds.





Place chicken wings into a bowl and cover with marinade. Use your hands to mix it in. Place in the fridge for 30-60 mins to marinade. Leave up to 6 hours, but no longer.

Once you are ready to cook - preheat the oven to 220 degrees, line an oven tray with baking paper and bake for 30 minutes. Turn the chicken wings over at 15 minutes. Grill for the last 5 minutes to brown the top.




Beetroot Salad

Ingredients

400g raw beetroot (I cut the top and bottom of the beetroot off but didn't peel)
100g carrot, quartered
1/4 small red onion
1 green apple, quartered
1 handful of parsley leaves
2 tbsp olive oil
juice of 1/2 lemon
pinch salt

Method

Place all vegies in Bellini and chop on medium speed (sp. 5) until evenly chopped (3-4 seconds). Scrape down sides and chop again for a couple of seconds until desired consistency.




This was the whole dinner together.. just delicious:
