Meatballs with Crunchy Sweet Potato Chips



Ingredients
250g mince
1tsp salt
1/3 cup almond meal
3 cups baby spinach
1tsp dijon mustard (optional)
25g tomato paste
2tbs sage
1 sweet potato, medium
Olive oil

Instructions
Preheat a fan-forced oven to 180o Celsius/350o Fahrenheit.
Place spinach in a bowl and cover with boiling water,
leave for 2 minutes before draining as much liquid as
possible from the spinach. Chop well.

Place spinach in a bowl along with mince, salt, almond
meal, mustard, tomato paste and sage. Combine well.

Roll into 2.5cm size balls and place on an oven proof
baking tray lined with baking paper.

Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes, or until browned
and cooked through.

Meanwhile, heat enough oil in a frying pan for deep
frying. Peel sweet potato then slice into ribbons using a
vegetable peeler.

Place a small handful of sweet potato ribbons in frying
pan and fry for 2-3 minutes, or until slightly browned.
Remove from frying pan and place on a plate lined with
paper towel to drain.

Repeat with remaining sweet potato.

To serve, place sweet potato ribbons on a plate and top with meatballs.
