Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Wash and dry the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1 1/2” wedges. Put the wedges and cornstarch in a large plastic bag and toss to coat.
2. Onto a large rimmed baking tray, dump the wedges and drizzle on the olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss everything to coat with your hands and spread the wedges into a single layer. Bake in the upper third of the oven for 30 minutes or until the edges are just browned.
3. While the potatoes roast, prepare your sauce. Into a food processor, combine the garlic, green onions, and salt and run until well chopped. Add the jalapeno and pulse a few times to chop. Add the cilantro, parsley, oregano, vinegar, lemon juice, and oil and pulse a few more times until just roughly combined. Dice the avocados and put them into a mixing bowl. Add a few spoonfuls of the chimichurri and mash it into the avocado, adding more to taste.
4. Serve the warm potatoes with the dip on the side.
