    Sweet Potatoes are one of my favourite veggies you can eat in so many ways. There are popular ways such as roasting and baked sweet potato but have you tried Sweet Potato Toast?

    Yep, you heard right toast!

    It’s a fun way of switching up traditional toast by cutting sweet potatoes lengthways to make slices then either bake in the oven or put in a toaster.

    This recipe walks you through making sweet potato slices. I then share some of my toppings which have been my new breakfast and lunch these past weeks.

    These toasts are easy to make and great for meal prep with so many different toppings from sweet to savory.

    So if you love sweet potatoes like me then this recipe is for you, if not this presents new ideas for sweet potatoes and how they can be enjoyed.

    It’s healthy, gluten free and wholesome real food full of nutrients not to mention tastes amazing.

    Below are some favourite toast recipes you must try!

    Avocado and Halloumi Sweet Potato Toast Recipe

    • Whilst potatoes are cooking, slice Halloumi Cheese into squares and pan fry on medium heat in olive oil
    • They will only take 1-2 mins to cook on each side to be nice and golden
    • To ensemble, smear some smashed avocado on the potatoes and add sea salt
    • Add rocket leaves and halloumi cheese. Season with chili flakes, a squeeze of lemon, and a drizzle of honey

    Peanut Butter Banana Toast

    • Add a smear of peanut butter, slices of banana with a sprinkle of chia seeds
    • You can also substitute it with almond butter

    Sweet Potato Avocado Toast

    • Add sliced avocado, Pickled Onions along with some Everything Bagel Seasoning
    • Season with a squeeze of lemon and enjoy!

      Some other ideas are to make sweet potato toast are with:
    • Egg
    • Chicken
    • Hummus
    • Pesto

    Important Tips Sweet Potato Toast Recipe

    • It's best to pick a large sweet potato that is wide so that they are easier to make sweet potato toasts
    • When cutting the sweet potato, cut a thin slice lengthways on one side so you can face this side down on the chopping board. This makes it more stable to slice all the pieces given it's a raw sweet potato
    • Make sure to slice sweet potatoes approximately 1cm in thickness (under half an inch thick).
      You don't want them to be too thin as they can become soggy and won't hold their shape.
    • Once the sweet potatoes have been removed from the oven, let them cool on a wire rack. This prevents them from becoming soggy on a plate from the steam
    • You can also cook them in a toaster oven. You will have to keep checking on them and cook a few times so that they are cooked all the way through and don't burn
    • Sweet potato toast air fryer steps are about the same as the oven recipe. Timing will reduce a little however.

      Love it. Do you think you could prepare the toast ahead of time and reheat them?
