Sweet Potato Caprese Sliders {With A Twist}

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!

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Spiralize your sweet potatoes and place in medium-large bowl. Heat 2 Tbsp. olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and add in zoodles. Sprinkle with garlic powder, salt and pepper and additional olive oil if needed. Cook for about 7 minutes then set aside in bowl to let cool for a few minutes. Beat the egg and mix into the sweet potato noodles.

Place the sweet potatoes onto the baking sheet and cook for 4-5 minutes in the oven on 1 side, flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes on the other side. When done, remove from baking sheet and top with fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, and basil. Drizzle with balsamic reduction if desired.
