Enjoy these Sweet Potato Caprese Sliders {With A Twist} to get a boost of vitamin C! Color offers more than just eye appeal! 

Ever since I bought my spiralizer attachment for my Kitchen Aid I keep finding excuses to spiralize foods! I was going to make a basic sweet potato with ground turkey and avocado but thought of these sliders instead…and SO happy with how they turned out! I was not sure how I would like the flavor combo but it was totally awesome. These make for a perfect appetizer and if you have a spiralizer or something similar this recipe will be a piece of cake. 

I love the deep orange sweet potatoes have. Color offers so much more than eye appeal to a wonderful meal.  The orange means sweet potatoes are rich in carotenoids, bioflavonoids, and the antioxidant Vitamin C which may promote a healthy heart, vision, immunity, and reduced risks for some cancers. The deeper the color, the more carotenoids these foods have! I told a few of the 9th grade health classes I was teaching earlier this week that a rainbow of fruits and veggies creates a palette of nutrients and phytonutrients on their plate… all of which have benefits in a healthful diet! 

PIN this recipe for later!

I am confused. If you are you putting the potatoes on the baking tray, flipping them, then how can they be in the muffin tin?
