Lavon and Miss NiNi talk about foods for fall and sweet potatoes.

Recipe:

Slice sweet potatoes into rounds or larger shaped slices about 1/4” thick. Toss or spray with olive oil. Roast in oven at 425 degrees for approximately 20 minutes. Slice could also be cooked in a Panini grill. Add topping of your choice. Try spreading with Cranberry Chutney or use as a dip. Sweet potato rounds spread with bleu cheese topped with Cranberry Chutney would be pretty party appetizer and yummy too.
