INSTRUCTIONS
1.
Preheat
oven to 350F.
2. In
a food processor or bowl combine ingredients for pitas until smooth. Note: Add
more or less cassava flour to get the dough to be pliable. If you don't have
cooked sweet potato on hand, make it by peeling a large sweet potato, cutting
into 2" chunks, and boiling in water until soft (drain water from sweet
potatoes after boiling).
3.
Separate
dough into 4-5 equal parts and press down with your fingers into flat 5"
pitas on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake on 350F for 10 minutes
on each side until golden brown.
4.
Preheat
oven to 425F. Add chopped cauliflower on a baking tray lined with parchment
paper, drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper to taste, and bake on 425F for
30 minutes.
5.
To
make soft boiled eggs, bring a pot of water to a boil then add eggs and boil
for 7 minutes. Remove eggs and chill in an ice bath before peeling.
6.
In
a food processor blend ingredients for kale pesto until it reaches desired
consistency.
7.
Assemble
pitas by layering on pesto, roasted cauliflower, red peppers, and eggs. Top with
fresh lime juice, chili flakes, and coconut milk to taste.
