INGREDIENTS 2 lb. sweet potatoes, scrubbed and cut into 1/2-inch thick wedges 2 Tbsp. coconut oil, melted Sea salt and black pepper, to taste 1 lb. tomatillos, husked, rinsed and quartered ½ onion, chopped 1 clove garlic, sliced ½ cup fresh cilantro 1 Tbsp. olive oil 1 tsp. Navitas Organics Wheatgrass Powder 1 Tbsp. Navitas Organics Chia Seeds	DIRECTIONS Heat the oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, toss together the sweet potatoes and coconut oil, and season well with salt and ground black pepper. Roast for 25-30 minutes or until the edges turn brown, tossing halfway through. While the sweet potatoes are cooking, make the salsa. In a food processor, combine the tomatillos, onion, garlic, cilantro, olive oil, wheatgrass powder, chia seeds and one teaspoon of salt. For a chunky salsa, use the pulse feature until the ingredients are broken down. For a smooth salsa, process until mostly smooth (or simply process in a blender instead). Refrigerate until ready to use. To serve, either plate the fries separately with salsa on the side for dipping or arrange the fries like nachos with salsa verde heaped on top.
