Method

Roasting Sweet Potatoes

  1. 1

    Prepare Sweet Potatoes

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Peel and cut sweet potatoes into cubes.

  2. 2

    Season and Roast

    In a bowl, toss the sweet potatoes with olive oil, coffee grounds, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until tender and caramelized.

Making Onion Nut Jam

  1. 3

    Cook Onions

    In a saucepan, sauté diced onions over medium heat until they become soft and translucent, about 10 minutes.

  2. 4

    Add Sugar and Nuts

    Stir in brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, and chopped nuts. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until the mixture thickens. Season with salt.

Preparing Yogurt Aioli

  1. 5

    Mix Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and salt. Mix well until smooth and creamy.

Making Cocoa Nib Brittle

  1. 6

    Prepare Brittle

    In a saucepan, combine sugar and water. Cook over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture turns golden brown.

  2. 7

    Add Cocoa Nibs

    Remove from heat, stir in cocoa nibs and butter. Pour onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and let cool. Once set, break into pieces.
