Sweet potato

‘toast’

As an alternative to a bread-

heavy starter, why not make

a colourful crostini-style bite

with sweet potato bases?

1

Wash the sweet potatoes, and slice

them into rounds at least half an inch

thick. Brush or rub the slices with the olive

oil, and arrange onto baking trays. Sprinkle

liberally with the seasonings – feel free to

also season with your favourite herbs.

2

Heat the oven to 200°C, then roast

the slices for 25–30 minutes, or until

golden in colour.

3

Finish with your favourite toppings

• hummus is a great option. These
  'toasts' are topped with smooth beetroot
  hummus, some fragrant chopped
  coriander and roasted chickpeas, but the
  options are endless!
