Sweet potato spicy wedges with guacamole (Mexican and Tex-Mex) (vegan)

This is a classic Mexican and Tex-Mex starter, using flavorful sweet potatoes with the fresh and spicy guacamole. You can make a bowl of these as a starter for friends at a party or enjoy it as a main course in two. Just remember to take off your sombreros to the deliciousness of the combination :).

Ingredients:
For the wedges:

• 2 large sweet potatoes (1 kg)
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon rosemary powder
• 1 teaspoon chili powder

For the guacamole:

• 3 avocados, softened
• 1 small red onion
• 3 large garlic cloves
• 2 limes
• 1/2 teaspoon Himalayan pink salt
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
• 1 tablespoon virgin olive oil
• 4-5 cherry tomatoes

First make the wedges. Clean (scrub) the sweet potatoes and cut them into wedges. Combine the rest of the ingredients into a paste. Rub the wedges with it and spread them on a baking sheet:

Bake in the oven for 40-45 minutes at 220 degrees C.
For the guacamole, peel and pit the avocados and put them in a blender. Add the peeled onion and cloves and the cherry tomatoes:

Blend well into a paste. Add the rest of the ingredients (just the juice from the limes) and blend again. Transfer to a serving bowl. When the wedges are done eat with your hands and use the guacamole as a dip :). Dig in!
