Ingredients for Sweet Potato Toasts with Toppings

  • 1 large sweet potato, scrubbed (peel if desired, but it’s not necessary)

  • Toppings of choice (I like almond butter and berries for a sweeter version or avocado and an egg for a savory twist)

  • Pinch of sea salt

How to make Sweet Potato Toasts with Toppings

Cut the sweet potato lengthwise into 1/4-inch slices. Toast it in a toaster (you will probably need two cycles) or in a toaster oven for about 10 minutes, until the potato has cooked through and is golden brown around the edges. Add the toppings of your choice and sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt. Get creative!

Store any unused “toast” in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat before serving.
