Ingredients
Scale
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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Assemble Toasts: Spread the smashed avocado mixture evenly over each roasted sweet potato slice.
- 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.
- 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.
