A plate with 3 parts, a vegetable, potato/rice/pasta and meat/egg/fish, do you remember when you parents served that every day. I do, but have almost stepped away from that the moment I left my parents home. I love to create healthy dishes that are fun, quick and easy to make, different from the ordinary, and delicious, all at the same time. When your base is sweet potato, you already take a step on the healthy path. You know there are actually very few unhealthy natural foods. It is the quantity and combination of ingredients that can be unhealthy, or a man-made product can be unhealthy, but at this moment I cannot come up with any truly unhealthy natural product. I know there are different opinions with respect to this, but this is my humble opinion.

How to Make Sweet Potato Slab Pie
Step 1 – Line a baking sheet (6 x 9) with parchment paper. Thaw one sheet of pastry dough and roll it out to fit your baking sheet. Place the pastry dough on top of the parchment paper.
Step 2 – Cover the pastry dough with thin slices of sweet potato. Allow them to overlap.
Step 3 – Drizzle olive oil over the potato and season with salt, pepper, oregano and coriander.
Place the sausages on to of the potato slices. I’ve used mild chicken sausage and chorizo sausage.
Step 4 – Divide the mozzarella in between the sausages. Not on top of the sausages, you want the meat to cook well and become crunchy. Place pieces of sun-dried tomatoes on top of the Mozzarella.
- Step 5 – Bake the Sweet Potato Slab Pie in a 400 degrees F. oven for 15-20 minutes. Tear fresh basil in small pieces and sprinkle them over the slab pie.
