What you'll need

  • Half-sheet pan — Bake, broil, or roast appetizers on a flat, rimmed surface.
  • Small ramekins — Individual portions for dips, baked eggs, and small bites.
  • Pastry brush — Brush egg wash or oil on dough without tearing it.

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Toss the potato cubes in a large bowl with avocado oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and sea salt until evenly coated.
  3. Spread the potatoes onto the baking sheet in a single layer and roast for 25–30 minutes, tossing halfway through, until golden and crisp.
  4. While the potatoes roast, sauté minced garlic in a small saucepan with a teaspoon of avocado oil over medium heat.
  5. Add the crushed tomatoes, red chili flakes, apple cider vinegar, and remaining sea salt to the saucepan.
  6. Simmer the tomato mixture for 10 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
  7. Stir together the avocado oil mayonnaise, grated garlic, and lemon juice to make a quick allioli.
  8. Spoon the brava sauce over the crispy potatoes (don't toss them in the sauce or they'll lose their crunch), then drizzle the allioli over the top.
  9. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.

FAQ

Can I use another type of oil instead of avocado oil?

While you can, it's best to stick with clean alternatives like olive or coconut oil if avoiding seed oils. Avocado oil is a great choice due to its neutral flavor and high smoke point.

How do I ensure the tomatoes are organic and non-GMO?

Look for labeling that specifies 'USDA Organic' on the tomato products you purchase, as this guarantees they meet strict farming standards including genetic modification bans.

What if I don't have apple cider vinegar?

You can substitute lemon juice or another natural acid like red wine vinegar to achieve a similar tangy flavor profile in the dish.
