# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat the oven to 400°F for roasting the sweet potato slices.
02 - Cut the sweet potatoes lengthwise into slices 1/4-inch thick using a sharp knife.
03 - Brush both sides of each sweet potato slice with olive oil and sprinkle lightly with salt.
04 - Place the seasoned slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
05 - Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through, until fork-tender and lightly browned.
06 - Remove from the oven and allow the sweet potato toasts to cool for a few minutes.
07 - Top the warm sweet potato toasts with your chosen toppings. For savory options, try avocado with cherry tomatoes, cottage cheese with chives, hummus with feta, or hard-boiled eggs with fresh herbs. For sweet variations, combine peanut butter with banana and granola, or cottage cheese with honey and fruit.
08 - Serve immediately while the sweet potato toasts are still warm for the best texture and flavor.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Its a game changer when you want something substantial but bread feels too heavy or just does not agree with you
  • The topping combinations are endless so you never get bored with breakfast or snacks
02 -
  • If your sweet potato slices are too thick they will take forever to cook and stay raw in the middle while burning on the edges
  • Letting them cool for just a few minutes after roasting helps them firm up slightly so they are not floppy when you add toppings
03 -
  • Finish roasted sweet potato slices in the toaster for 2-3 minutes to get extra crispy edges before adding toppings
  • The thinner you slice your sweet potatoes the quicker they cook, but do not go thinner than 1/4 inch or they will fall apart
