Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional, for oven method)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or set your air fryer to 380°F (195°C).
  2. Wash and dry the sweet potatoes thoroughly. Do not peel them.
  3. Slice the sweet potatoes lengthwise into uniform pieces, about 1/4 inch thick. Aim for 3 to 4 slices per potato.
  4. If using the oven: Lightly brush both sides of the slices with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  5. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the slices are tender but still hold their shape. Cooking time varies based on thickness.
  6. If using the air fryer: Place slices in a single layer in the basket (work in batches if necessary). Cook for 10 to 15 minutes, flipping halfway, until tender.
  7. Remove the cooked slices and let them cool slightly before adding your desired toppings.

Notes

  • For meal prep, you can toast the sweet potato slices ahead of time and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat briefly before topping.
  • If you are looking for convenient options, consider researching best meal delivery services for quick additions to your routine.
  • Sweet potato toast is naturally compatible with Whole30 and Paleo diets when using compliant toppings.
  • For a savory option, try topping with mashed avocado and a fried egg.
  • For a sweet option, spread with almond butter and top with sliced banana and cinnamon.
