Sweet Potato Wedges with California Avocado Aioli
Ingredients
Sweet Potatoes
½ teaspoon fennel seeds
½ teaspoon coriander seeds
½ teaspoon cumin seeds
2 medium sweet potatoes, scrubbed and cut into wedges
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons honey, divided
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Aioli
1 ripe, fresh California Avocado, pitted and peeled
½ cup grapeseed oil
2 egg yolks
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 garlic clove

Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In mortar and pestle or spice grinder, grind the fennel, cumin and coriander seeds until coarse.
3. Arrange the sweet potatoes on the baking sheet in a single layer. Drizzle with the olive oil, 1 tablespoon honey, the ground spices, salt and pepper, tossing to coat. Roast until the sweet potatoes are tender all the way through and crisp at the edges, 20 to 25 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, Make the Aioli: In a blender, add the California Avocado, grapeseed oil, egg yolks, mustard, vinegar and garlic, and blend until creamy and thick.
