Sweet Potato Toast

Sweet Potato Toast

Whether you’re gluten-free or just trying to limit your grain intake, saying “bye” to bread doesn’t mean you have to give up on toast. When thinly sliced into slabs, sweet potato makes a terrific base for all of your favorite breakfast toppings. Avocado, vegan cream cheese, fresh veggies, and even peanut butter taste amazing paired with toasted sweet potato slices. The only hard part is deciding which combination to try first.

Sweet Potato Toast

Come to think of it, why limit yourself to just one piece? My favorite way to eat sweet potato toast (and regular toast) is to have one savory option and one sweet. That way I get the best of both worlds. My favorite flavor combination is vegan cream cheese, tomato, and everything bagel seasoning. Of course, I have to follow that up with something sweet. Sweet potato smeared with peanut butter and topped with sliced banana, maple syrup, and a sprinkle of cacao nibs really hits the spot.

 

Sweet Potato ToastBy now, you might be wondering what the heck sweet potato toast is. All you have to do to make breadless toast is cut up a sweet potato into even slices and pop them in your toaster. No roasting required! I used my mandoline to create even, quarter-inch slabs. At a medium setting, it took four rounds of toasting to achieve fork-tender perfection. Your “cook” time may vary depending on the thickness of your sweet potato and your toaster settings.

 

Sweet Potato ToastThe key to getting enough surface area for your toast toppings is selecting the right sweet potato from the start. Look for a sweet potato that’s large, wide, and flat – if that makes any sense. What you don’t want is a long, skinny shape. You won’t get many slices out of it, and the ones you do get will be tiny. Once you have your slices, trim the ends so the pieces fit in your toaster. This recipe is great for weekend brunch or anytime you want breakfast for dinner!

Print Recipe
Pin Recipe

Ingredients

Scale

1 large sweet potato, peeled (½ pound)


Instructions

  1. Use a sharp knife to create a flat side on the sweet potato. Then use a mandoline to create ¼-inch thick slabs. If you don’t have a mandoline you can use your knife, but be extra careful to make each slice evenly thick.
  2. Pop one sweet potato slice in each toaster slot and set to medium. Remove the sweet potato slices after each round of toasting and stick with a fork to check for doneness. This can take anywhere from four to six rounds, depending on the thickness of your sweet potato and how powerful your toaster is.
