Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the sweet potato slices out in a single layer. Spray the tops with cooking spray and sprinkle sea salt or Himalayan salt over the tops. Bake for about 15 minutes or until tender.For the guacamoleChoose the right avocado. It should feel squishy yet firm (like the palm of your hand), and be a nice dark green color on the inside.Cut the avocado in half (vertically) and remove the pit by stabbing carefully with your knife. Use a paper towel or dish towel (so the pit is not slippery in your hands) to remove the pit from the knife.Scoop the avocados out of peel and place on a plate or in a medium bowl.Use a fork or potato masher to mash until a smooth consistency is achieved. Stir in remaining ingredients.Take a taste or a few tastes and adjust seasoning as needed for yumminess!For the cowboy caviarDrain, chop, mince, seed all ingredients and then combine everything in a large bowl.For sweet potato bitesOnce sweet potato rounds have cooled, top and spread a dollop of guacamole over the top of each one. Then add a tablespoon of cowboy caviar on top of the guacamole. Garnish with a sprig of cilantro and serve immediately or store in the fridge for several hours before it's party time.
