Ingredients
- 1 medium Sweet potato
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 4 slices Whole grain bread
- 1 large Avocado
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 1 cup Baby spinach leaves
- 0.25 medium (thinly sliced) Red onion
- 4 tablespoons Hummus
- 0.25 teaspoons Smoked paprika
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Peel the sweet potato and slice it into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
Step 3
Place the sweet potato rounds on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle them with olive oil and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon of salt and the ground black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Step 4
Roast in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the sweet potato slices are tender and golden around the edges.
Step 5
While the sweet potatoes are roasting, prepare the avocado spread. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl.
Step 6
Mash the avocado with a fork until smooth. Add the lemon juice, the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and smoked paprika, and mix well.
Step 7
Toast the whole grain bread slices until golden and crisp.
Step 8
Spread 1 tablespoon of hummus on each slice of toasted bread.
Step 9
Assemble the sandwich: On two slices of the bread, layer the roasted sweet potato rounds, baby spinach leaves, thinly sliced red onion, and the mashed avocado spread.
Step 10
Top with the remaining slices of bread to complete the sandwiches. Slice them in half if desired and serve immediately.
