There is no better combo sweet potato & avocado! I made this recently for a late afternoon lunch & I loved it. This recipe can be either a canape or a lunch time treat & it is perfect because it is a real food but satisfies any cravings you may have.
Enjoy on a Sunday afternoon with a lovely drink & good company.

Thanks for stopping by & commenting 🙂
Were the sweet potato thins crispy or soft? Tried to make sweet potato crisps but was a slow process!
They were crispy on the outside and soft in the middle. They do take time to steam and then in the oven but they are worth it! 🙂
