Cooking with Avocados in the winter

Did you know that when avocado season ends in here in California, it starts in Chile?

This allows you to make delicious and nutritious recipes with avocados year-round, even when they are not available domestically.

Avocados are a pantry staple in our house and always a hit with my little kids. We love to create meals, snacks, and appetizers with them that are healthy and delicious. And these sweet potato bites with avocado salsa check all the boxes!

Why you will love these air fryer sweet potato bites with avocado salsa

Easy: This appetizer or snack only takes a handful of ingredients and 20 minutes to make from start to finish. The air fryer helps speed that time up since things cook more quickly in the air fryer vs roasting in the oven. But see the tips below if you wish to bake the sweet potatoes instead.

Healthy: These sweet potato bites are packed with healthy ingredients. The sweet potatoes are full of vitamin A, C, potassium and fiber. And the avocados are packed with healthy fats, fiber, potassium, and Vitamin E and C. It is a tasty way to get extra goodness into your day!

Ingredients you need to make this easy sweet potato and avocado salsa recipe

Sweet Potatoes: One large or two small sweet potatoes are the base to these bites with avocado salsa.

Avocado Oil: You will need a high heat oil to coat the sweet potatoes before air frying. I love using avocado oil, but you can use any high heat oil of choice!

Spices: The sweet potatoes are coated in cumin, salt, smoked paprika, and chili powder before cooking. The spices perfectly complement the avocado salsa.

Avocado: Avocados from Chile are the star of the avocado salsa. They add nutrients and a creamy texture to the recipe.

Tomatoes: Fresh tomatoes pair perfectly with the avocados in the salsa. Cherry and grape tomatoes work well in this recipe, but you can use any variety of tomato you wish.

Onion: White, yellow or sweet onions add flavor and texture to the avocado salsa.

Cilantro: Fresh cilantro adds flavor to the salsa. You can omit it you prefer.

Jalapeno: A jalapeno gives the avocado salsa a nice kick of spice and works perfectly with the sweet potato. If you do not like spice, you can omit or only use 1/2 of a jalapeno to reduce the heat level.

Lime Juice: The lime juice brings acidity to the avocado salsa that brightens all the flavors. Start with 1/2 of lime, and taste. Add the other half (or more) to personal preference.

Salt: Salt enhances the flavor of the avocado salsa and the sweet potatoes. For the avocado salsa, add to personal taste!

Tips and tricks when making these sweet potato bites

1. Do not overcrowd the air fryer with the sweet potato rounds. You might need to do 2-3 batches depending on the size of your air fryer.

2. If you do not have an air fryer, you can roast the sweet potatoes in the oven. To do this, place the sweet potato rounds after being seasoned onto a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roast at 425 degrees F. for 30-35 minutes or until the sweet potato’s edges are golden brown.

3. The sweet potato rounds will have brown edges and will tender when done cooking. They do have some flexibility to them and are not a chip like texture.

4. You can make the avocado salsa in advance and store it in the fridge in an airtight container. For best results, only store in the refrigerator for a few hours before plating with the sweet potato rounds.

5. If you have left over avocado salsa, you can save it in the refrigerator for about 24 hours to enjoy with chips, crackers or another meal.
