Not to mention simplicity.

Some of the best creations are just a few delicious and complementary ingredients.

After some easy steps of roasting, mashing, and assembling, you’ll have a vegan appetizer that will impress even the fanciest cook.

The warmth and chewiness of the sweet potato along with the creamy guacamole and crunchy mung beans…let’s just say it’s a party in your mouth.

These are a great start to any shindig.

Benefits:

Mung bean sprouts are high in vitamin K (for healthy bone density), C (immune boosting), and folate (for healthy blood cells). All raw sprouts are total superfoods. Since they have started their growing process, they are an easily digestible, living food with more nutrients per calorie than any other food.

Sweet potatoes have been a staple in the diet of some of the longest living peoples in history (Okinawans). They have more Vitamin A than any other food, they are packed with healthy carbohydrates, antioxidants, and are stars for combatting inflammation and oxidation. Eat em’ up! I always get delicious, organic sweet potatoes from Spud to my door every Tuesday. Man, I love Tuesdays!! Use my code CRVAN-MURJUB for 20$ off your first order.

Avocados are packed with monounsaturated fatty acids. Great for the hair, skin and nails!

    Just made the sweet potato bites at home, and they were so good, I was knocking on my neighbour’s door to share them. Felt a bit guilty eating something so tasty on my own!

    I keen for more oil/salt/refined sugar free recipes, and can’t wait to make the mango endives!

    Can you get mangoes through SPUD? My local supermarket has so many ones and they’re not organic 🙁

    Thanks for sharing your code and recipes.

    GREAT BLOG!

🌱 Tiny vitamin factory: Sprouting can increase vitamin C content by up to 600%, making them a natural immunity booster.
