Baked Potato Rounds With Edamame Hummus And Microgreens

Ingredients

• 2 large potatoes
• hummus (edamame, recipe below)
• microgreens
• chives
• sesame seeds olive oil
• pepper
• salt
• 12 ounces edamame (shelled, frozen)
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• 1/4 cup Tahini
• 1/2 cup vegetable stock
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Edamame hummus

• 12 oz shelled edamame (frozen)
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp minced garlic
• 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
• 2 tbsp sesame oil
• 1/4 cup tahini
• 1/2 cup vegetable stock
• 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

• Preheat your oven to 375 degrees
• Using a mandoline slicer, slice your potatoes into 1/4 inch thick rounds (if you don’t have a mandoline slicer, just slice with a very sharp knife, but be careful!)
• Place the rounds on an oiled baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt + pepper. Bake in the oven for about 15 minutes, flipping halfway through
• While your potatoes are baking, make your edamame hummus
• First, microwave your edamame in a microwave-safe dish with a little bit of water (according to package directions)
• Add the edamame to your food processor/blender along with all the other hummus ingredients and blend until smooth (adding more broth little bits at a time as needed)
• Turn your broiler on, and broil your potato rounds for a few minutes on each side to get them a little crispy (be sure to watch so they don’t burn!)
• Remove your potatoes from the oven, and you can either spread some hummus over top, or if you want to pipe the hummus on like I did, do so now
• Garnish with fresh microgreens, fresh chives, and sesame seeds!
• Store the leftovers in the fridge, they taste great as leftovers too!

Peach Ricotta Pizza with Spicy Microgreens

Ingredients

• 1 1/8 cups warm water
• 3 teaspoons active dry yeast
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt PIZZA
• 3/4 cup ricotta cheese
• 4 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 3 to 4 peaches, thinly sliced
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
• 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
• 1 large ball of burrata cheese
• 1 cup spicy microgreens, or any microgreens you can find!

Instructions

• In a large bowl, combine water, yeast, honey and olive oil. Mix with a spoon, then let sit until foamy, about 10 minutes. Add in 2 1/2 cups flour and salt, stirring with a spoon until the dough comes together but is still sticky. Using your hands, form the dough into a ball and work in the additional 1/2 cup flour, kneading it on a floured surface for a few minutes. Rub the same bowl with olive oil then place the dough inside, turning to coat. Cover with a towel and place in a warm place to rise for about 1-1 1/2 hours.
• After the dough has risen, punch it down and place it back on the floured surface. Using a rolling pin or your hands, form it into your desired shape (sometimes I use baking sheets and do rectangles or free form pizzas – this specific dough will yield one pizza large enough to feed about 3-4 people) and place on a baking sheet or pizza peel. Place the towel back over the dough and let sit in the warm place for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place the ricotta on a paper towel. Press the top of it with another paper towel to release some of the water.
• Heat the oven to 425 degrees F. (If I use my pizza stone, I heat my oven to 475 degrees and bake for 15 minutes. If you’re just using a baking sheet, follow the directions below for baking and set to 425 degrees.)
• Brush the pizza dough edges with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Sprinkle the garlic cloves on the dough. Spread the ricotta on the dough evenly – so just a bit covers the dough leaving a 1-inch outer rim. Place the peach slices on the pizza. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and drizzle with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Cover with the fresh cilantro, basil and rosemary, Carefully pull apart the burrata ball and place it in the center, pulling pieces out towards the edges.
• Bake for 20 to 25 minutes (or around 15 to 20 minutes if using the pizza stone) until the cheese is golden and bubbly. Remove and top with the spicy microgreens. Slice and serve immediately.

Microgreen Watermelon Radish Salad Over Oven Baked Salmon

Ingredients

• 1, roughly 6-8 oz salmon
• 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
• salt and pepper
• 1 small watermelon radish
• 3 cups loosely packed microgreens (like baby kale or fennel)

Dressing

• 1/2 teaspoon whole grain dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon honey
• 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar

Instructions

• To cook salmon, pat dry with a paper towel and place on baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and use a pastry brush or your hands to cover the entire fish. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Bake for 10 minutes at 375 F or until the fish flakes easily with a fork, or an internal temp thermometer reads 145 F.
• Note: the thermometer is my method of choice. Our thermometer is a Thermapen instant read and we love it! Don’t buy it on Amazon- get it direct from the supplier- it’s much less expensive.
• While the fish is cooking, whisk dressing ingredients together with a whisk or a fork. Use a mandolin slicer and thinly slice the watermelon radish into discs. Place in a stack and cut into quarters. Add microgreens and radish to a large bowl and toss with dressing, reserving 1/4 of the dressing for the top of the salmon.
• To plate, add salad on top of and surrounding salmon
