Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium sweet potato
- 1/2 ripe avocado
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- Optional toppings: red pepper flakes, everything bagel seasoning, a squeeze of lime
Instructions
- Preheat your oven or toaster oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash the sweet potato thoroughly.
- Slice the sweet potato lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick slices. You should get about 2-3 slices per sweet potato, depending on its size.
- Arrange the sweet potato slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes per side, or until the sweet potato toast is tender and lightly browned. The exact time will depend on the thickness of your slices and your oven.
- While the sweet potato toast is baking, mash the avocado in a small bowl with a fork. Season with salt, pepper, and optional lime juice.
- Once the sweet potato toast slices are ready, remove them from the oven.
- Spread the mashed avocado evenly over each sweet potato toast slice.
- Add any desired optional toppings.
- Serve your avocado sweet potato toast immediately.
Notes
- Ensure your sweet potato slices are uniform in thickness for even cooking.
- You can also use a toaster oven or a standard toaster (if the slices fit) for cooking the sweet potato toast, though baking often yields a more evenly cooked result.
- Experiment with different seasonings and toppings to customize your sweet potato avocado toast.
