1. Coconut Chip Summer Rolls with Coconut Curry Dipping Sauce

Ingredients:

4 sheets rice paper, hydrated in water

1/2 avocado sliced

1 carrot julienned

4 sprigs fresh cilantro

¼ cup purple cabbage, shredded

¼ cup spinach, shredded

¼ of red pepper, thinly sliced

1-2 radishes (red or purple) sliced into paper-thin rounds

1 stalk scallions, julienned

Made in Nature Coconut Chips

Method:

Dip rice paper in warm water for 3-4 seconds or until it becomes moistened. Lay on work surface and allow the paper to absorb the water (30 seconds to 1 minute). Layer carrot, cilantro, scallions and avocado - top with coconut chips and wrap, tucking in ends as you go. Using a bit of water on your finger, create a seal along the seam.

Coconut Curry Dipping Sauce:

½ cup full fat coconut milk

1 tsp curry powder

½ tsp arrowroot powder

1 tsp fresh ginger juice

1 teaspoon lime juice

½ teaspoon honey

Pinch of sea salt

Method:

In a small saucepan, heat coconut milk, curry powder and arrowroot powder, and stir until slightly thickened - remove from heat and stir in ginger juice, lime juice, honey, and sea salt.

2. Roasted Sweet Potato ‘Toast’ with Tahini Yogurt and Kale Chips

Ingredients:

1 sweet potato sliced into ¼ inch disks

2 teaspoons olive oil

¼ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

½ cup Greek yogurt or dairy free yogurt

1 tablespoon tahini

1 teaspoon lemon juice

¼ teaspoon ras el hanout

1 cucumber sliced into 1/8” inch disks

Made in Nature Kale Chips

2 tablespoons pomegranate arils

Method:

Preheat oven to 450 degrees

Toss potatoes with olive oil, salt and pepper and lay on a parchment line rimmed baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes or until golden and crispy - turning halfway through roasting.
