If you’ve never made sweet potato rounds, you’ll love them! I first posted my Roasted Sweet Potato Rounds with Herbed Ricotta and Walnuts a number of years ago and they were a huge hit!

Employing the same concept as a chips and guacamole / finger food type of situation, these guacamole sweet potato rounds with crispy bacon are mouth-watering bites of bliss! 

They are perfect for whipping up as an appetizer to serve to guests, as a snack for your family, and/or as dinner…for yourself. What happens between you and the sweet potato round stays between you and the sweet potato round. No one’s judging ๐Ÿ˜‰

Let’s make them!

How to Make Guacamole Sweet Potato Rounds:

Step 1: Slice a sweet potato into rounds, coat them with oil and sea salt and bake them on a baking sheet.

Step 2: Whip up your favorite batch of homemade guacamole. Get creative here with your own guacamole recipe, or follow my instructions for guac in the recipe card below!

Step 3: Cook Bacon to crispy perfection!

Step 4: Assemble this appetizer by dolloping guacamole on top of the roasted sweet potato rounds and sprinkling with onion, chopped bacon and cheese.

Step 5: Share and devour!

Ingredients

  • 1 large sweet potato chopped into ยฝ-inch rounds
  • 2 slices thick-cut bacon cooked
  • 1 large avocado peeled
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 jalapeno seeded and finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic minced

For Serving:

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Wash and dry the sweet potato, and slice it into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Lightly coat both sides of the sweet potato slices with grapeseed or olive oil, sprinkle with salt, and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes, flip, then bake for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until rounds are cooked through and crispy on the edges. Place sweet potato rounds on a serving platter and allow them to cool.
  • Cook the bacon over medium heat, flipping occasionally, until crispy, about 5 minutes. Transfer bacon to a cutting board and chop into pieces once cool enough to handle.
  • Add all ingredients for the guacamole to a bowl and mash with a fork until it reaches desired consistency. I like leaving mine slightly chunky.

Questions and Reviews

  1. Wow, this recipe is so much more than the sum of its parts! Served a platter of these for a fancy looking appetizer. Great flavor and texture combination. We don’t eat meat in our household so I swapped the bacon for crumbled sauteed Smoky Maple Tempeh and it was divine.

  3. HA! Love your marital advice…and yes, that bourbon thing is SO true. These are the perfect shower apps!!

  4. I love the combo of guac on a sweet potato, even though I don’t do sweet potatoes often but would so consider this little number. Plus I’m a sucker for sweet potatoes ๐Ÿ™‚

  5. This app is the only app I’d ever need! It’s all my favorite things in one bite! Ok, two bites.
