Ingredients:
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for drizzling
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the sweet potatoes from sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
- Wash and peel the sweet potatoes, then slice them into rounds approximately 1/4 inch thick. Arrange the rounds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Drizzle the sweet potato rounds with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to guarantee that each round is evenly coated, then spread them out again in a single layer.
- Roast the sweet potatoes in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they’re golden brown and tender.
- While the sweet potatoes are roasting, prepare the avocado topping. In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe avocado with lime juice and season with salt and pepper. Gently fold in the chopped cilantro.
- Once the sweet potato rounds are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Top each round with a spoonful of the avocado mixture and garnish with additional cilantro if desired.
Extra Tips:
For added flavor, consider sprinkling some chili flakes or cumin on the sweet potato rounds before roasting for a hint of spice. You can also experiment with different toppings, such as feta cheese or diced tomatoes, to customize the dish to your taste.
These sweet potato rounds are best enjoyed fresh but can be made ahead of time and assembled just before serving for convenience.
Enjoy this healthy and delicious appetizer!
