Make-Ahead Tips
We can handle many steps beforehand to save time and reduce stress on game day. Planning ahead gives us more freedom to enjoy the festivities. Here are our top suggestions:
- Marinate the chicken wings: Combine our favorite seasoning blend with extra-virgin olive oil or coconut aminos. Coat the wings and let them rest in the fridge overnight for maximum flavor.
- Prepare the sweet potatoes: Slice them in advance. Store them in an airtight container in the fridge. We can toss them with olive oil right before baking so they stay crisp.
- Chop our veggies: Slice carrots celery and bell peppers one day before. Wrap them in paper towels and keep them fresh in sealed bags.
- Blend our avocado dip base: Pulse ripe avocados lime juice and garlic ahead of time. Cover tightly to prevent browning. Finish with a drizzle of olive oil right before serving.
- Line up serving trays: Set out our platters and bowls. This eliminates last-minute rushes.
Below is a quick reference for how far in advance we can tackle key tasks:
| Task | Max Advance Time |
|---|---|
| Marinating chicken wings | 24 hours |
| Cutting sweet potatoes | 12 hours |
| Chopping vegetables | 24 hours |
| Blending avocado dip base | 1 day (store in airtight container) |
We focus on fresh ingredients and sealed storage. This approach keeps our Paleo Super Bowl recipes vibrant and full of flavor.
