Ingredients:

  • 1 large sweet potato (about 300g / 10.5 oz), scrubbed clean
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (15ml)
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt (1.5g)
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground, 1.5g)
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice (15 ml)
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Everything bagel seasoning (optional)
  • Fried egg (optional)
  • Smoked salmon (optional)
  • Ricotta cheese (optional)
  • Honey (optional)
  • Fresh herbs (chives, parsley, dill) (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F/Gas Mark 6). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (optional, but makes cleanup easier).
  2. Carefully slice the sweet potato lengthwise into ½-inch (1.25cm) thick slices. Aim for even thickness for even cooking.
  3. Toss sweet potato slices with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Arrange in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway, until tender and slightly caramelized. Look for a fork to easily pierce the sweet potato.
  4. While the sweet potato is roasting, mash the avocado in a bowl. Add lime juice, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper.
  5. Once the sweet potato slices are roasted, transfer them to plates. Spread with mashed avocado (or your chosen topping). Add any additional toppings, such as a fried egg, herbs, or a drizzle of honey.
  6. Serve your Sweet Potato Toast immediately while it's still warm!
