Sweet Potato Toast

Sweet Potato Toast

Depending on you tastes, these Sweet Potato Toast Recipes have endless possibilities, here are some of my favorite recipes but make sure you try your own.

Avocado on Sweet Potato Toast

Just plain and simple your sliced sweet potato toasted and add your sliced avocado on top or mash it up with a little lemon or lime juice and add a little red pepper flakes for a little kick.

This is such a healthy brunch recipe, sometimes I make it for a light dinner

1 large and long sweet potato
 1 tbsp vegetable broth (no salt added)
 1 handful arugula
 1 large avocado (smashed)
 2 medium radishes (sliced)
 ½ cup broccoli sprouts (or your preferred sprout)
 1 small lemon or lime (juiced)
 ½ tsp dried oregano
 1 tbsp basil (fresh, chopped.)
 ¼ tsp crushed red pepper (optional)
 ¼ tsp ground black pepper (optional)
Directions
1 Wash and cut sweet potato lengthwise so you have ”toast-like” slices, ½” thick.
2 Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add enough water so that all potatoes will be covered.
3 Boil potatoes for about 5 minutes or until tender, but not so soft that they’re breaking apart (pierce with a fork to test).
4 Once soft, drain the water and set potatoes aside.
5 Heat a stove top pan or griddle to medium-high heat. Add the vegetable broth. Place the sweet potatoes in the pan, side by side.
6 Heat on one side until lightly browned and then flip; about 5–7 minutes per side.
7 While the potatoes are browning, gather the rest of your ingredients.
8 Lay two slices of sweet potato
9 Top with a layer of arugula followed by smashed avocado, sliced radish, and sprouts.

10 Squeeze lemon/lime juice on top, sprinkle with oregano, basil, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper (if using).

Almond Butter and Banana

This is an amazing combination that is so tasty, but if your not an Almond Butter person, try regular old Peanut Butter, Sunflower, Cashew Butter or Coconut Butter, they are available in most supermarkets and also in sampler sizes so you can try them out. They are generally low in sodium, but high in calories and in the good saturated fats, so be sure to read the labels.
