Ingredients:

• 1½ tablespoons olive oil, plus extra for greasing
• Black Pepper Vitality™
• 2 sweet potatoes, unpeeled
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 4 ounces fresh mozzarella, thinly sliced (optional)
• 2 avocados
• 2 drops Lemon Vitality™
• 1 drop Lime Vitality™
• 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
• ¼ teaspoon chili powder
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1–2 Roma tomatoes, seeded and diced

Instructions:
1. Place oven racks in upper and lower thirds of your oven and preheat to 425⁰ F. Line two rimmed baking sheets with foil and lightly coat with olive oil.

2. Dip a toothpick into Black Pepper Vitality essential oil and swirl the toothpick in 1½ tablespoons olive oil. Continue blending essential oil and olive oil until you’ve reached your desired flavor.

3. Scrub sweet potatoes until clean and cut into ½-inch slices. Arrange in a single layer on greased baking sheets, then brush sweet potato tops with olive oil mixture. Sprinkle slices with salt. Roast for 20–25 minutes or until golden brown underneath.

5. Remove baking sheets from oven and set aside to cool slightly.

6. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, use a fork to mash together avocados, Lemon Vitality, Lime Vitality, lime juice, chili powder, and garlic.
