Serves: 4
Ingredients:
2 large sweet potatoes, the thicker around the better for shapes
2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp. sea salt
¼ tsp. white pepper
*Cayenne pepper (optional), a small sprinkling for spicy version
Directions:
Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees F.
Line a baking sheet with a silpat, or parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Peel sweet potatoes and cut into ½ inch thick rounds.
Using a paring knife, or a small pumpkin-shaped cookie cutter, cut rounds into a pumpkin shape, making a stem, and trimming the bottom slightly. Each one will be different and unique, just like real pumpkins!
