2 tsp cajun spice

1 tsp cumin

2 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp sugar

​

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400' F.

3. Place beans on paper towels and pat dry.

4. Spread beans on coking sheet and drizzle with olive oil.

5. Move beans around with hand or spatula to make sure they are coated with oil.

6. Split beans onto separate sides to get ready for seasoning (or if you want to season the beans all the same, spread evenly on the pan).

7. Sprinkle with seasonings.

8. Bake for 30 minutes. Make sure to move beans around every 10 minutes because the beans on the outer edge of the pan will cook fast than those in the middle.

Ingredients:

3 large sweet potatoes

1/2 c olive oil (may use coconut oil, melted)

1 T salt

1 T cayenne pepper (may use paprika, Cajun seasoning, brown sugar, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, etc. to change up the taste)

 

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 450' F (for extra crispy, 500 degrees)

2. Scrub the sweet potatoes.

3. Cut off the ends (you will no use these)

   • For wedges: cut length wise, then in half crosswise

   • For circles/disks: cut into about 1/2 inch disks the entire length of the potato

4. Put sweet potato pieces into a large bowl and toss with olive oil, salt, and seasoning of your choice. Make sure all pieces are coated well.

5. Spread sweet potato onto tin foil covered baking sheet in a single layer.

6. Bake for 25-30 minutes. Turning them at the 15 minute mark to ensure both sides are browned.​

Ingredients

2 medium Italian Squash

Mozzarella cheese

Canned chicken (or chicken breast)

1 tsp oregano

2 tsp basil

 

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350' F.

2. Wash squash

3. Cut squash in half, then in 1/4 inch slices long ways (these will be your boats)

4. Once all boats are cut, place on cookie sheet

5. Sprinkle with Mozzarella cheese and spices

6. Open canned chicken and rinse with water. This helps eliminate some of the salt that is used in the canning process. (I use canned chicken because you do not have to precook it. If you decide to use chicken breasts make sure they are cooked before removing boats from oven)

7. Bake boats for 15-20 minutes. Cook longer if you want the cheese to be more toasted.

8. Enjoy :)
