Sweet Potato Caprese Sliders 

Recipe Yields:  
6 Sliders; 

1 Slider = 1 Starch, 1/2 Vegetable, 1 Morning Cheese,  1 Fat

Suitable for Freedom meal plans 4-7 only

Ingredients:
3 medium Sweet Potatoes, washed, peeled and spiralized
1 tsp. Garlic Powder
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes
6 slices fresh Mozzarella
1 large Egg
Fresh Basil, for garnish
Unflavored Non-Stick Cooking Spray
Garlic Powder and Black Pepper, to taste

Preparation:
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Spiralize sweet potatoes into noodles and place them in medium-large bowl. Heat a skillet over medium heat sprayed with unflavored non-stick cooking spray and add in "noodles". Sprinkle with garlic powder and pepper if needed. Cook for about 7 minutes then set aside in bowl to let cool for a few minutes. Beat the egg and mix into the cooled sweet potato noodles.

Divide the sweet potato into 6 portions using the bottom of a muffin tin tray. Form spiralized sweet potato into the bottom of the tin, pressing down with foil if needed to create a slider. Place these in the freezer for 15-20 minutes to form a solid structure.

Line a baking sheet with foil and spray with unflavored cooking spray. Place the sweet potatoes onto the baking sheet and cook for 4-5 minutes in the oven each side. When cooked, remove the baking sheet from the oven and top with fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, and basil. Drizzle with Kraft Light Zesty Italian dressing if desired.
