Sweet Potato Toast with Avocado and Eggs Recipe

Introduction

Sweet potato toast is a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional bread toast. With a crispy texture and rich flavor, it pairs perfectly with creamy avocado and eggs for a satisfying breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

• 1 large sweet potato (scrubbed clean and sliced lengthwise)
• 1 tbsp. oil (olive or coconut oil)
• 1 garlic clove (smashed)
• 1 avocado
• ½ tbsp. lemon juice
• ¼ tsp sea salt
• ¼ tsp chili flakes
• 4 eggs

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Step 2: Arrange the sweet potato slices on the lined baking sheet. Brush each slice with oil on one side, then flip and brush the other side.
3. Step 3: Bake for 30 minutes, flipping the slices over after 20 minutes to ensure even cooking.
4. Step 4: Once out of the oven, rub the sweet potato slices with the smashed garlic clove while still warm.
5. Step 5: In a bowl, mash the avocado with lemon juice, sea salt, freshly ground pepper, and chili flakes until creamy.
6. Step 6: Spread the mashed avocado evenly over each sweet potato slice.
7. Step 7: Cook the eggs to your liking; fried eggs with runny yolks work especially well. Place the eggs on top of the avocado-covered sweet potato to serve.

Tips & Variations

• For extra flavor, sprinkle fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley on top before serving.
• Swap the chili flakes for smoked paprika for a different spice profile.
• Use a grill pan to cook the sweet potato slices for a smoky, charred taste.
• Try topping with feta cheese or a drizzle of hot sauce for added zest.

Storage

Store leftover sweet potato toast components separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat the sweet potato slices in the oven or toaster oven to regain crispness. It’s best to add avocado and eggs fresh before serving.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use a regular potato instead of sweet potato?

Yes, but sweet potatoes have a natural sweetness and softer texture that lends itself well to this recipe. Regular potatoes will be firmer and less sweet, which may alter the flavor.

How do I make this recipe vegan?

Simply skip the eggs or replace them with scrambled tofu or sautéed mushrooms for a plant-based option.

Sweet Potato Toast

• 1 large sweet potato (scrubbed clean and sliced lengthwise)
• 1 tbsp olive or coconut oil
• 1 garlic clove (smashed)

Avocado Spread

• 1 avocado
• ½ tbsp lemon juice
• ¼ tsp sea salt
• ¼ tsp chili flakes

Toppings

• 4 eggs

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easy.
2. Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Arrange the lengthwise sweet potato slices on the lined baking sheet. Brush one side with oil, then flip the slices and brush the other side as well to ensure even roasting.
3. Roast Sweet Potatoes: Place the baking sheet in the oven for 30 minutes. After 20 minutes, flip the sweet potato slices to roast both sides evenly until tender and golden.
4. Garlic Rub: Once the sweet potato ‘toast’ slices are out of the oven, rub the smashed garlic clove over each slice to infuse a subtle garlic aroma and flavor.
5. Prepare Avocado Spread: In a bowl, mash the avocado together with lemon juice, sea salt, fresh black pepper to taste, and chili flakes until smooth and well combined.
6. Assemble Toasts: Spread the smashed avocado mixture evenly over each roasted sweet potato slice.
7. Cook Eggs: Fry the eggs to your liking, ideally with runny yolks for extra creaminess, and place them on top of the avocado-covered sweet potato toasts.
8. Serve: Serve your sweet potato toast warm for a hearty, nutritious meal that’s full of flavor and texture.

Notes

• You can substitute lemon juice with lime juice for a slightly different citrus flavor.
• If you prefer, you can top your toast with other seasonings like smoked paprika or fresh herbs such as cilantro or parsley.
• For a vegan version, omit the eggs or replace with tofu scramble.
• Ensure sweet potato slices are cut evenly to guarantee consistent cooking.
• Leftover sweet potato toasts can be refrigerated and reheated in the oven for best texture.
