Sweet Potato Flatbread

August 24, 2020

These are so simple and truly delicious. You will love them for open face sandwiches.

Sweet Potato Flat Bread (makes 8)

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup cooked sweet potato
  • black pepper to taste

Optional, add your favorite herbs and veggies, For example:

  • • ¼ cup onion, finely diced, and 2 tablespoons caraway seeds
  • • ¼ cup onion, finely diced, and 2 tablespoons dry dill weed
  • • ¼ cup tomato, small dice, and 2 tablespoons Italian spice
  • • 1 jalapeño pepper, small dice, and 1 teaspoon chili powder

And these are wonderful without seasoning, served warm with fresh fruit on top or rolled in them.

Cook the sweet potatoes by baking at 350º for 50 minutes, covered or boiled until tender.

Add the oats, sweet potato and pepper to a food processor, and process until a ball begins to form.

If you're adding herbs or veggies, do that now and pulse to combine well.

Take the dough out and knead it a few times, then roll it into a log and divide into 8 pieces.

Shape each piece into a smooth ball and flatten between 2 pieces of wax paper or saran wrap to 1/8” thick. Use the palm of your hand, or a rolling pin. I find the rolling pin easier to get them uniform. They will roll out to approximately 4-inch circles.

You can also divide the dough in half and roll out to a 12” round for a pizza crust. This is nice with tomato and Italian spice added.

And you can divide the dough in half and roll out to an 8” x 8” square and score it for crackers to serve with hummus or other dips.

Frying method:

Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat and fry the rounds 2-3 minutes until they brown on the bottom and flip them to fry another 2-3 minutes to brown on that side.

Repeat with other portions of dough.

Air Fry method:

Air fry at 350º for 3 minutes on each side
