Ingredients
-
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
-
2 teaspoons ground cumin
-
3/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
-
1/8 teaspoon salt
-
2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch-thick rounds (about 6 cups)
-
1 cup thinly sliced red onion
-
1 teaspoon cider vinegar
-
8 slices whole-wheat bread
-
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
-
4 teaspoons Dijon mustard
-
4 slices provolone cheese
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 400°F. Stir 1 1/2 tablespoons oil, cumin, smoked paprika and salt in a large bowl until well combined. Add sweet potato slices; toss well to coat. Spread on a large rimmed baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, toss onion in the bowl with the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons oil until evenly coated.
-
Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven; arrange the onion evenly over the sweet potatoes. Bake until the sweet potatoes are easily pierced with a fork and the onion is softened, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from oven; drizzle with vinegar.

-
Brush 1 side of each bread slice with about 1 teaspoon mayonnaise and brush the other side of each with 1/2 teaspoon mustard. Place on a work surface, mayonnaise-side down.
-
Place 1 slice of cheese on the mustard side of 4 slices. Evenly layer sweet potato and onion mixture on top of each cheese slice. Top with the remaining bread slices, mayonnaise-side up.

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook 2 sandwiches until toasted on both sides and the cheese is melted, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Repeat with the other 2 sandwiches. Cut in half crosswise; serve warm.
