These easy sweet potato toasts might just become a go-to weeknight meal. The sky is the limit with what you can top them with, but I really enjoy them with a Mexican twist of smashed avocado, bell peppers, onion, and olives. Another spin would be to layer some black lentils over the mashed avocado before the veggies. And when I shared this on Instagram, one mentioned she was fat-free and was going to swap the avocado for pea pesto. A great idea! This pea hummus recipe would be a great one in place of the avocado. So many delicious options to top these humble and healthy sweet potato toasts with!
Sweet Potato Toasts
1 serving
Ingredients
- 1 large sweet potato, cut into toast-like sizes/widths
- 1 avocado, smashed and mixed with 1 minced garlic clove, squeeze of lemon/lime, chili powder, cayenne, & salt
- red onion, cut up – as much as you want on the toasts
- mini bell peppers, cut up – as much as you want on the toasts
- olives of choice, I like Kalamata olives with it
- lime or lemon squeeze
- chili powder
- optional, microgreens or spinach
Method
- Slice the potato into toast like sizes and bake or air fry at 400. I air-fry mine without any oil for 30 minutes. I slice them fairly thick. You can also bake them on a parchment lined baking sheet. Just check them at 30 minutes and see what they need in your oven. You want them slightly toasted and soft enough to easily pierce with a fork.
- Top with toppings of choice. Pictured is 1 mashed avocado with a 1/2 lime, a good dash of chili powder, dash of cayenne, pinch of salt, and one minced garlic clove mixed in. Slather the mashed mix on each toast and top with some peppers, red onion, and olives. Sprinkle on some more chili powder or squeeze of lime if desired.
- I always try to add fresh greens in whenever I can (when I’m not doing a salad alongside it), so I held some spinach under each toast as I ate it. Raw greens act as natural digestive enzymes and help with the breakdown of our food. These enzymes also help with the absorption of the nutrients from our food. Microgreens on top would also be another great option.
