Ingredients

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes look for ones that are similar in size and shape
  • 4 oz tomatoes finely chopped
  • 2 jalapeños cut into rounds
  • 1/2 red onion cut into thin slices
  • 3.5 oz vegan sour cream for serving
  • Lime wedge for serving

Guacamole:

  • 2 medium avocados
  • A handful of fresh cilantro , finely chopped
  • Juice from half a lime
  • Sea salt to taste
  • Freshly cracked black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 F. Lightly spray 1 large (or 2 medium) baking sheets with avocado oil spray or olive oil spray. You can also line it with parchment paper for easier clean up.

  2. Peel sweet potatoes and use a mandolin on the third setting (about 1/6 inch) to slice. You can carefully cut with a sharp knife but you’ll find it much harder to get even slices.

  3. Spread the sweet potatoes onto the prepared baking sheet(s), trying not to overlap them too much.

    Bake for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway. They should be starting to crisp on the edges and soft in the middle.

  5. Make the guacamole: Mash the avocado using a fork then add in the finely chopped cilantro, lemon and season with salt and pepper.
