Sample The Mixes
- 1 -2 medium-sized long sweet potatoes, sliced into ¼ inch rounds, you should have 18-20 rounds.
- 1 tbsp ghee or olive oil
- ½ cup ricotta cheese
- 1 large honey crisp apple, diced
- 1 tsp Spice Spice Baby spice blend
- 1 tbs maple syrup
- 1 tbsp runny honey
- 4 bacon strips, fried, crunchy and broken into bits (optional)
- 2 tbsp dried cranberries
- 2 tbsp pistachio nut meat, diced
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
- Brush each sweet potato round (front & back) with ghee or olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Air fry or bake the sweet potato rounds on 400˚F for 15-20 minutes until they begin to color and crisp. Be careful not to burn.
- While the sweet potatoes bake, make the spiced apple mix. In a medium sized bowl, mix the diced apples, maple syrup and Spice Spice Baby spice blend.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the apple mixture to the dry pan. Sauté the apples until the soften and the liquid evaporates -3-5 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- When the sweet potatoes are finished and are stable and crisp, lay them on a serving tray and spread each round with a layer of ricotta cheese.
- Add a spoonful of the spice apples to each round and press down lightly with the back of the spoon so the apples stay put on the sweet potato. Sprinkle on the pistachio nuts, dried cranberries and bacon (if using.)
- Drizzle the runny honey all over the rounds in a zig zag formation covering each round with a few lines.
- Garnish with a sprinkle of the parsley and serve immediately.

Pumpkin Cranberry Muffins
Yes… we’re still baking things with pumpkin. But, in our defense, these healthy Pumpkin Cranberry Muffins are worth it! They make for a great breakfast or snack and they’re not like your typical unhealthy muffin. In true Healthy On You® style, these muffins have no unnecessary sugar, butter or gluten. Instead, the sweetness comes from maple syrup, the moisture from coconut oil and almond flour makes them gluten-free. Don’t let those ingredients scare you away though! These do not disappoint in flavor or texture. Plus, they’re extra special with the addition of our Spice Spice Baby Spice Blend. Give them a try and see for yourself. We bet you’ll be pleasantly surprised!
Moroccan Spiced Almonds
Spicing up your almonds is a great way to punch up the flavor. I use these almonds in salads, granola, and as pictured here on cheeseboards. I use Healthy On You® Moroccan Round the Clock spice blends to add the unique combination of flavors like cumin, mustard seeds, and allspice. When paired with honey and a little salt, it really creates a taste sensation in your mouth. You can use a range of nuts including pecans, walnuts and cashews if you want variety. These are fast and a great activity to do with the kids.
Moroccan Spiced Baked Sweet Potato Chips
You’ve asked for it and here it is! These baked sweet potato chips are a huge hit in my cooking classes. They are light, a great alternative to fried potatoes and are super tasty. I find the white sweet potatoes to be less sweet so I often use them, but any color sweet potato will do.
Za’atar-spiced Labneh Cheese
Labneh is a cheese found in middle east. It’s basically greek yogurt and salt and when the process is complete it has the texture of soft whipped cream cheese.
It’s simple to make a small batch of labneh cheese. If you have the time, it will save you the trip to your local middle eastern grocery store. There are many uses; a dip with fresh herbs or finished on a bagel with Healthy On You® While My Za’atar Gently Weeps spice blend.
