Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 ripe tomatoes
- 0.5 cup fresh basil leaves
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 4 slices prosciutto
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and slice the sweet potatoes into 1/4 inch thick rounds. Place them on a baking sheet.
Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the sweet potato slices, ensuring they are evenly coated. Season with salt and black pepper.
Roast in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are tender and lightly browned.
While the sweet potatoes are roasting, dice the tomatoes and finely chop the basil leaves.
Mince the garlic cloves, then combine the tomatoes, basil, and garlic in a bowl.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the balsamic vinegar to the tomato mixture. Mix well and set aside.
Once the sweet potato slices are cooked, remove them from the oven and allow to cool slightly.
Top each sweet potato round with a spoonful of the tomato basil mixture.
Tear the prosciutto slices into smaller pieces and place them on top of the tomato mixture.
Serve immediately, garnished with additional fresh basil if desired.
