Ingredients
For the Sweet Potato Crostini
• 1 bag Roots Farm Fresh Organic Sweet Potato Toasts
• Guacamole, store-bought or homemade
For the Garlic Shrimp
• 2 tbsp avocado oil
• 1 lb shrimp, patted dry
• 6 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp honey
• ¼ cup soy sauce
• ¼ cup water
• 1 lime
• Pinch of salt
Optional Additions
• Crumbled feta
• Extra lime juice
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Shrimp
Pat the shrimp dry and sprinkle with a pinch of salt.
Step 2: Make the Honey Soy Sauce
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, water, and honey. Set aside.
Step 3: Cook the Shrimp
Heat avocado oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Add shrimp and cook for about 3 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
Step 4: Cook the Garlic Sauce
Add minced garlic to the same skillet.
Cook for about 4 minutes over medium heat, stirring often to prevent burning. Add the honey soy sauce mixture and cook until it bubbles and thickens, about 5 minutes.
Step 5: Finish the Shrimp
Add the shrimp back to the skillet and toss with the garlic honey soy sauce.
Squeeze fresh lime juice over the shrimp.
Step 6: Cook the Sweet Potato Toasts
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F.
Cook Roots Farm Fresh Organic Sweet Potato Toasts in the air fryer for 12-14 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
Step 7: Assemble the Crostini
Add a layer of guacamole to each sweet potato toast.
Top with 1-2 garlic shrimp, extra lime juice, and optional crumbled feta. Serve immediately.
Pro Tips
🔥 For crispier sweet potato toasts, arrange them in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
🍤 Pat shrimp dry before cooking to help them sear instead of steam.
🧄 Stir garlic often and keep the heat at medium to prevent burning.
🥑 Use thick guacamole so the toppings sit well on each toast.
🌶 Add chili flakes or hot sauce for a spicy finish.
