Roasted Garlic Potatoe Wedges

Serves: 4

1 pound and 13.07 ounces yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into wedges (5 medium yukon gold potatoes)
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt
1 tsp ground black pepper

1 head garlic, cut off the top

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F

Cut the potatoes into 2 halves. Cut each halves into 4 pieces.

Toss the potato wedges with olive oil, salt and ground black pepper. Place the potatoes on a baking sheet (no aluminum foil and no parchment paper) in a single layer.

Cut off the top of 1 head garlic and place in a piece of foil. Drizzle olive oil on top and rub all over, put in in the same baking sheet.

Roast the potatoes for 25 minutes, turn over the pieces (I used sharp spatula to turn the pieces). Roast another 25 minutes or until golden brown.

Squeeze out the garlic cloves into a bowl. Remove any of the peel that may have fallen in. Mash the garlic into paste.

2 tbsp coconut oil
2 tbsp parsley, finely chopped

Heat coconut oil in a pan, add the mashed garlic and stir in. Add parsley and stir.

Spoon the garlic sauce over the potatoes and toss to coat evenly.

Paleo Naan

Yields: 5 naans

1/2 cup almond flour
1/2 cup tapioca flour or arrowroot flour
1 cup coconut milk, canned and full fat
1/8 tsp salt

Preheat the cast iron griddle over medium heat.

Mix all the ingredients in a bowl. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the pan.

After the batter fluffs up and looks firm / mostly cooked, flip it over to cook the other side.

Serve immediately or cool on a wire rack.

Taste Note: Tastes AWESOME. You can even eat this plain, it taste so awesome.
Source: myheartbeets
Note: The naan is very fluffy. it comes in layers.
Important Note: I would suggest after making 1 naan, turn off the stove, wait for 30 seconds for the griddle to cool little bit, pour 1/4 cup more batter, spread using the cup and turn on the stove to medium and prepare. When I did it without turning off the stove it was way too difficult to spread, turning off and on the stove helped me to spread the batter easily.

Vegan Ranch Dressing

1/2 cup water
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tbsp white wine vinegar

Blend all the ingredients in vitamix.

3/4 cup water

1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
3/4 tsp salt
1 and 1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 and 1/2 tsp onion powder

Add all the above to the blender and puree all the ingredients until smooth and creamy.

1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley (or dill, cilantro or combination or 1 and 1/2 tbsp dried)
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh chives (or 1 and 1/2 tbsp dried)

Add in the herbs and pulse few minutes to break the herbs and mix in. Pureeing the herbs will turn the dressing a pale green color, so be careful not to pulse too much if you want the dressing to look like traditional ranch.

The mixture will seem thin, but will thicken upon refrigeration.

Preheat the broiler. My broiler is set at 500 degrees F.

Add tomatoes (skin side up), garlic, red onion, jalapeño to foil lined baking pan. Broil for 10 minutes or until outside of the vegetables are charred. Drain the excess juice from the tomatoes and use it for something or drink it, otherwise the salsa will be too watery. Remove skin from garlic, tomato and jalapeno. Remove seeds from the jalapeño, if you don't like it spicy, if not, just use it with seeds.

Transfer the charred vegetables to food processor and process them.

1/3 cup cilantro, chopped

3 tbsp lime juice (juice from 1 lime)

To grill corn (preferably over charcoal for best flavor), leave the husk on and grill it first until charred.  Then remove the husk and strings and put it back on the grill for a little color, 2 to 3 minutes - rolling to heat all sides.

Once grilled, slice corn off of the cob and add to bowl with remaining ingredients and stir.

Serve immediately. Will keep covered in the fridge for several days, but is best when fresh.
