Ingredients
For Sliders:
- 1 large about 8 ounces sweet potato
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil or spray
- 1 teaspoon salt
Optional Toppings:
- ½ cup homemade guacamole
- 1/4 cup homemade salsa
- 1/4 cup scallions sliced
- 1/2 cup shredded chicken beef or pork
- ½ cup canned black beans drained and rinsed
- 1 small tomato diced
- Cilantro sliced
Instructions
- Preheat an oven to 425ºF and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Scrub, wash and dry the sweet potato. Cut off the tips of the sweet potato.
- Using a knife (or alternatively a mandolin) slice the sweet potato into rounds about 1/4" thick.
- Lay on parchment paper with room in between and either spray or brush avocado oil on both sides. Sprinkle with salt.
- Bake for 5 minutes, then flip and back for an additional 5 minutes. The sweet potato should be fully cooked through, meaning you can easily stick a fork through it, but not overcooked that it would fall apart when you picked it up.
- Let cool briefly, and then place on a large serving platter.
- Top the roasted sweet potatoes with toppings of choice. Feel free to get creative and use some or all of the suggested toppings, or some of your own.
- Serve immediately.
