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.
