Sweet Potato Sandwich
Description
The Sweet Potato Sandwich starts with sweet potato sliced lengthwise and sautéed with diced onion and garlic to impart savory notes. These sweet potato slices rest on ciabatta rolls, offering a hearty base. Fresh avocado and tomato slices add creaminess and juiciness, while chopped romaine lettuce contributes crunch. The optional additions of vegan mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and caramelized onions bring layers of flavor that can be customized. The sandwich blends textures from tender-crisp sweet potato to crunchy lettuce in a handheld format.
Cooking instructions recommend sautéing the sweet potato just until tender-crisp, preserving some bite rather than fully soft. Toasting the ciabatta can enhance texture and flavor. You can experiment with seasonings on the sweet potato such as curry powder, Italian herbs, chili, or smoked paprika to vary the taste profile and suit personal preferences.
Ingredients
- 1 small-medium sweet potato
- ½ tablespoon olive oil
- ½ cup onion diced, red or white or yellow
- 3 garlic cloves
- 2 ciabatta rolls (or your favorite rolls)
- 1 avocado sliced
- 1 tomato sliced
- ½ head romaine lettuce chopped
- vegan mayonnaise (optional)
- Dijon mustard (optional)
- onion optional, caramelized
Instructions
- Slice the sweet potato lengthwise into ½-inch slices.
- In a medium pan over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil (or water). Add the onion and garlic and saute for 3 minutes or until the onion becomes tender and translucent.
- Add the sweet potato and mix so it can absorb the onion and garlic flavor. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes.
- Cut the ciabatta rolls in half lengthwise. Top with the sweet potato mixture, avocado, tomato, and lettuce. Optionally add the vegan mayo, dijon, and carmelized onions.
Notes
- Toast the ciabatta rolls for a crisper texture before assembling the sandwich.
- Cook the sweet potatoes to your preferred tenderness—tender-crisp or softer depending on your taste.
- Experiment with different seasonings on the sweet potato such as curry powder, Italian herbs, chili, smoked paprika, fajita seasoning, or BBQ spice for variety.
