πŸ›‘οΈ SAFETY FIRST

  • πŸ”₯ Open Flame: When charring the pepper, keep your sleeves rolled up and hair tied back. Always use Tongs, never your fingers.

  • πŸŒͺ️ Blender Splash: Make sure the Blender lid is on tight before you turn it on. Start on the lowest speed first.

  • πŸ”ͺ Sweet Potato: These can be very hard to cut! Ask a "kitchen helper" for a steady hand to keep the potato from rolling while you slice it.
