Instructions

Roast Sweet Potatoes

Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
Use a mandoline to thinly slice the sweet potatoes lengthwise. No need to peel them first.
2 small sweet potatoes
Lay slices of sweet potato in a single layer on a lined or greased baking sheet.
Use a basting brush to brush a very light layer of olive oil over the slices of sweet potato, then bake in the oven for 10 minutes.
2 tbsp olive oil

Goat Cheese Sandwich

While the sweet potato slices are roasting: toss the arugula with lemon, salt, and pepper, set aside. Toast the bread.
4 cups arugula, 3 tbsp lemon juice, pinch salt and pepper
Spread a layer of goat cheese over four of the slices of toast while they're still warm. Top with a light drizzle of honey (if using).
4 ounces goat cheese, 2 tsp honey, 8 slices bread
Add a layer or two of roasted sliced sweet potato on top of the goat cheese and honey layer, then top with arugula.
Top each sandwich with another slice of bread. Cut each sandwich in half and serve right away.

Notes

The amount of goat cheese needed will vary depending on the size of the bread slices you use to make the sandwiches.
Use cracked pepper goat cheese or cranberry goat cheese to level up the flavor even more.
If you prefer sweeter foods (like me, haha!), definitely add honey the first time you make this recipe.
Recipe variations: use roasted beets, butternut squash, or eggplant instead. Change up the flavor of goat cheese, add fresh herbs, or a drizzle of balsamic glaze.
Looking for more protein? Add hard-boiled egg, prosciutto, sliced mozzarella, or thinly sliced deli meat.
