Description
Sweet Potato Bites with Avocado are the perfect healthy appetizer, naturally gluten-free, vibrant, and packed with flavor from creamy avocado and roasted sweet potatoes. Quick to assemble and irresistibly satisfying.
Ingredients
- 1 large sweet potato, sliced into ¼-inch rounds
- 1 ripe avocado, mashed
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional toppings: chopped cilantro, red pepper flakes
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Slice sweet potato into ¼-inch rounds and arrange in a single layer on baking sheet.
3. Roast for 20–25 minutes until tender and caramelized at edges.
4. Meanwhile, mash avocado with lime juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
5. Once sweet potatoes are roasted, cool for 5 minutes.
6. Top each round with a generous spoonful of avocado mixture.
7. Garnish with cilantro and red pepper flakes if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Do not slice sweet potatoes too thin or too thick, ¼-inch is ideal for holding toppings.
- Use ripe avocados for best texture; underripe ones will be too firm to mash smoothly.
- Add toppings like pickled onions, goat cheese, or microgreens for variation.
- Best served fresh; avoid assembling more than 2–3 hours in advance.
