Avoiding Bad Fats, Enjoying Good Fats COCONUT OIL RECIPES My favorite ways to use coconut oil (and oil-rich coconut milk or coconut cream concentrate) are in baked goods, vegetable sautés, and cream sauces that bring whole grains and vegetables together. Sweet Potato Fries and Variations I don’t even usually like sweet potatoes, but I like these! 8 C sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped into sticks ¼ C coconut oil 1 tsp. sea salt Heat oil on medium-high in a large skillet, add sweet potatoes, and sauté several minutes, stirring frequently with a spatula, until tender. Sprinkle with salt and serve. Variations To serve fries on a bed of hot, quick-to-make whole grain for a more filling main dish: 1 C quinoa or bulgur 2 C water ¼ tsp. sea salt Bring water and salt to a boil, add rinsed quinoa, cover, and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 15 min. (For bulgur, cover and turn off heat, then let sit for 15 min.) To make “Thanksgiving-like” sweet potato fries: Add 2 Tbsp. maple syrup and ½ tsp. cinnamon to basic recipe and toss to coat well. To make Steffanie’s spicy fries: 1 tsp. cumin 2 tsp. garlic powder 1 tsp. sea salt ½ tsp. cayenne 1-2 C chopped cilantro Blend spices and sprinkle over 8 C of just-sautéed fries, then toss. Sprinkle with fresh cilantro and serve over quinoa. 106 12 Steps to Whole Foods © Copyright Robyn Openshaw
