• ½ clove garlic, minced

• 2 drops Basil Vitality

• 2 toothpick swirls Nutmeg Vitality

• 2 toothpick swirls Cinnamon Bark Vitality

2. Mix coconut oil, garlic, and vitality oils. Pour over sweet potatoes, opening the slits to allow mixture to cover as much as possible.

3. Bake for 40-45 minutes, until sweet potatoes are cooked through. Optional: garnish with fresh parsley, chives, or green onions!

Cauliflower Crust Pizza

• ½ teaspoon garlic powder

• ¼ cup parmesan cheese

• ¼ cup mozzarella cheese (or vegan / dairy substitute!)
