¾ lb. sweet potatoes, cubed
¾ lb. carrots cubed
3 large eggs
3 Tbsp. oil, divided use
⅔ cup almond flour
1½ tsp. salt
½ tsp. black pepper
Toppings: cream cheese, lox, peas, fresh dill, and chives
Preheat oven to 400°; grease two large baking sheets.
Add the sweet potato and carrot cubes to a food processor in batches. Pulse until chopped into fine pieces that resemble coarse salt. Add the eggs, 1 tablespoon oil, almond flour, salt, and pepper and pulse until combined.
Scoop ¼ cup of the sweet potato mixture and place onto baking sheet. Press each scoop into an oval, about ¼-inch thick. Bake for 25 minutes; remove from the oven, and brush the top of the flatbreads with oil. Gently flip the flatbreads, brush with remaining oil, and bake for another 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly. Top with cream cheese, lox, dill, chives, and peas.
