→ Sweet Potato Base

01 - 2 large sweet potatoes, scrubbed
02 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
03 - Pinch of salt

→ Topping Options

04 - 1 avocado, sliced
05 - 1/2 cup cottage cheese
06 - 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
07 - 2 tablespoons peanut butter
08 - 1 banana, sliced
09 - 2 tablespoons granola
10 - 1 tablespoon honey
11 - 2 large hard-boiled eggs, sliced
12 - 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
13 - 1/2 cup hummus
14 - 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
15 - 1/4 teaspoon chili flakes
16 - Fresh herbs such as parsley, cilantro, or basil, to taste

# Directions:

01 - Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Slice sweet potatoes lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick slices using a sharp knife on a cutting board.
03 - Brush both sides of each sweet potato slice with olive oil and sprinkle lightly with salt.
04 - Arrange sliced sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap.
05 - Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping slices halfway through cooking, until they are fork-tender and lightly browned at the edges.
06 - Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow sweet potato slices to cool for 2 to 3 minutes before topping.
07 - Top roasted sweet potato slices with your choice of toppings. Select savory combinations such as avocado with cherry tomatoes, cottage cheese with chives, hummus with feta, or hard-boiled eggs with fresh herbs. Alternatively, choose sweet combinations such as peanut butter with banana and granola, or cottage cheese with honey and fresh fruit.
08 - Serve immediately while sweet potato toasts are still warm to achieve optimal texture and flavor.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It's naturally gluten-free and works for almost any dietary preference you might have.
  • The crispy-soft texture somehow feels indulgent without any guilt attached to it.
  • You get to play around with toppings instead of following one rigid formula, which keeps breakfast from ever getting boring.
02 -
  • If your sweet potatoes are uneven in thickness, the thin pieces will burn before the thick ones cook, so try to slice them as uniformly as possible.
  • Flipping halfway through makes an enormous difference in how evenly they cook and how crispy they become overall.
03 -
  • For extra crispiness, run the roasted slices through the toaster after they've cooled completely, which gives you that perfect contrast between crispy edges and creamy insides.
  • If you want to meal-prep these properly, freeze the roasted slices flat on a baking sheet, then transfer them to a freezer bag—they'll last a month and reheat in about five minutes.
