    This recipe for sweet potato and black bean dip rounds makes an elegant appetizer to serve at a party. It is easy to prepare and can be adapted as you wish.

    Sweet potato and black bean dip rounds.

    This recipe for sweet potato and black bean dip rounds was inspired by a Cuban restaurant in Florida. My sister and I stopped in this cute little restaurant in Florida. We ordered a plantain appetizer that was pretty and delicious, and I thought it would be great to make something similar for the blog.

    Sweet Potato and Black Bean Dip Rounds

    I was worried that plantains may be difficult to find, so I chose sweet potatoes as the base.

    Sweet potato rounds ingredients.

    These are the ingredients, but feel free to switch them up. For example, you could use white beans instead of black. Toppings such as guacamole or sour cream, and any cheese you like. 

    Black bean dip

    Consider making extra of this black bean dip. You can place some of it in a baking dish, topped with a Mexican cheese blend and bake. Then serve the baked dip with tortilla chips. Now you have two appetizers.

    Sweet potato rounds tossed in olive oil

    You can brush the olive oil on the sweet potato rounds, or simply toss them in a bowl.

    Roasted sweet potato rounds

    Bake them in a single layer in the oven.

    One thing I like about this recipe is using just one cilantro leaf, and one thin slice of jalapeno.

    They look great and are easily removed, for those who do not like cilantro or cannot handle the spicy nature of jalapenos.

    A simple, tasty, and elegant appetizer to serve your guests.
