• salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

Get Ready:

• Oven: Preheat to 425°F (220°C).
• Air Fryer: Set to 375°F (190°C). If your air fryer runs hot, lower to 325°F (165°C).

Prepare the Sweet Potatoes:

• Slice off the ends of the sweet potato.
• Stand the sweet potato upright and halve it lengthwise.
• Cut one half into long, even slices about 1/4 inch thick. Consistent thickness ensures they cook evenly.

Oil the Slices:

• Lightly coat both sides of each slice with oil. Be sparing to prevent soggy toast.

Cooking Methods:

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Arrange the sweet potato slices in a single layer.
  • Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 10 minutes until tender.
  • Broil for 5 minutes on each side to crisp up.
• Air Fryer:
  • Place the slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
  • Cook at 375°F (190°C) for 10 minutes, flipping halfway through. Use 325°F (165°C) if needed for a hot-running air fryer.

Top Your Toast:

• Once your sweet potato slices are cooked, top them with mashed avocado.
• Add slices of boiled eggs.
• Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.

Different Serving Ideas:

Caprese Style:

• Layer fresh mozzarella slices, cherry tomatoes, and fresh basil leaves on the sweet potato slice. Drizzle with balsamic glaze and a touch of olive oil.

Breakfast Boost:

• Add a poached or fried egg on top of the sweet potato slice, and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper. Add a few slices of avocado and a handful of microgreens for extra nutrients.

Berry Nutty:

• Spread a layer of ricotta or cottage cheese on the sweet potato slice, then top with mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries). Drizzle with honey!
