Ingredients:
Serves 2-4
- 1 sweet potato
- oil of your choosing (coconut oil or animal fat)
- red wine vinaigrette (3 parts olive oil to 1 part red wine vinegar, minced garlic clove, salt and pepper to taste)
- 2-3 tomatoes, chopped small
- black olives, chopped
- fresh basil, chopped
Instructions
Begin by washing and peeling your sweet potato. You will then slice your potato into ¼” slices. Slicing the potato into rounds or lengthwise is up to you.
Over medium heat, add your coconut oil or animal fat to a fry pan and brown the potato slices. You will fry the slices for approximately 10 minutes or until the potato is al dente.
In a small mixing bowl add your tomatoes, basil and the chopped olives. Then add enough vinaigrette to the ingredients to give them a good coating. Mix well to ensure they are coated evenly.
Place the browned potato slices on a baking sheet and top them with a spoonful of the mixture of tomatoes.
Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees and bake the bruschetta for approximately 10 minutes. You are only trying to heat everything up a little. This step can be skipped if you prefer to eat the bruschetta cold. Enjoy!
