Sweet Potato Toppers

Sweet potatoes, and many varieties of squash, have a rich, creamy texture after cooking and pair nicely with a variety of spices. When seasoned, sliced, and placed atop a crunchy cracker, they’re a deliciously unexpected taste treat. Pair them with rosemary and thyme, or use any combination of dry spices you like. For an extra kick, try adding a few feta crumbles.
