Serve them as finger food with a glass of champagne, they are great for a brunch buffet or even as a starter.For the sweet potato crostini wash the sweet potato and cut into 1 cm slices. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Coat the slices with olive oil and arrange them on a baking tray. Season to taste with salt. Put them in the oven and let them roast for 30 minutes. Turn them over after 15 minutes.
