Directions:

FOR ROASTED SWEET POTATOES

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  2. Place sweet potato rounds on greased or silicone mat lined baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with rosemary, salt and pepper.
  3. Roast for about 20-25 minutes, flipping half way through until softened and golden brown around the edges.

FOR CARAMELIZED RED ONIONS

  1. Place olive oil in a small sauce pot over medium heat.
  2. Add onions and salt, reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring often until softened and starting to turn golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside.

FOR THE SANDWICH

  1. Brush one side of both pieces of bread with the melted butter.
  2. Turn the bread slices over and spread the Sabra Spreads honey mustard on each piece.

  4. Place the sandwich in a pre-heated skillet and press down firmly with a large spatula to help melt the cheese.
  5. Flip after 2-3 minutes once bread is golden and crispy on the bottom and repeat on the other side.
