How to make sweet potato sandwich?

Start by making eggplant hummus. To do this, wash the eggplants, cut them in half and place them on a baking sheet covered with baking paper. Poke holes using a fork and bake at 180 degrees for about 40 minutes or until the eggplant is softened. Allow the eggplant to cool slightly and then place the cooled eggplant halves on a sieve, remove the skin and squeeze out the excess water from the cooked contents. Then place the eggplant with the garlic, tahini and seasonings in a food processor and whiz until smooth.

Set the eggplant hummus aside to cool and make the sweet potato slices. To do this, wash and, if desired, peel the sweet potato (unpeeled sweet potato is also suitable) and slice it into slices about 0.5-1 cm thick. Place the sweet potato slices on a baking tray covered with baking paper and bake at 200 degrees for 30 minutes until the sweet potato is soft and golden brown. Let the sweet potato slices cool and then proceed to make the sandwich. Spread eggplant hummus on one sweet potato slice, place a lettuce leaf, tomato slice and onion ring on top and repeat the process if desired. Place another sweet potato slice on top and enjoy!
