We combined two favorite recipes into a healthy and satisfying meal: first, we were inspired by a NYT recipe for sheet-pan chicken with sweet potatoes (https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1019161-sheet-pan-chicken-with-sweet-potatoes-and-peppers?smid=ck-recipe-iOS-share): Preheat oven to 450.

Beans Marbella

Oven-baked sweet plantain coins
We tried this recipe: https://www.aspicyperspective.com/perfect-baked-plantains/ In our oven, we found 425 too high, so after 10 mins and flipping the plantain coins, we reduced temp to 400 and baked for only 5 additional minutes. (Jan. 2022)

Second, line a rimmed baking sheet with foil, then spread the carrot sticks in a single layer.… Continue reading Roasted carrots with hot sauce and honey
