Ingredients

1 large wide sweet potato
Cooking spray
Salt to taste

Topping Ideas

Cream cheese with blueberries and chia seeds
Ricotta cheese with raspberries and coconut
Peanut butter with banana slices and cinnamon
Cottage cheese with tomatoes and everything seasoning
Fried egg with fresh chopped parsley, salt and black pepper

Instructions

Using a large sharp knife, cut off the bottom stem and place the sweet potato on a cutting board cut side down. Keep the skin on.
With a steady hand, make about 6 thin slices about 1/4"-1/3" thick from the one end of the sweet potato to the other.
Spray sweet potato slices with cooking spray and season with salt.

Toaster Instructions

Insert slices into toaster (similar to bread) and toast the slices on high. Alternatively, you can toast them in a toaster oven.
After the sweet potatoes pop up from the toaster, check to see if they are fork tender, and toast longer if desired. Depending on your toaster, you may also want to turn down the toaster setting to Medium.
Remove the sweet potatoes from the toaster, and cool on a wire rack before adding toppings.

Oven Instructions

Preheat oven to 350℉. Place a wire rack on a large rimmed baking sheet.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, until potatoes are fork tender, but not fully cooked or soft.
Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven, and cool on a wire rack before adding toppings.

Notes

* Please note the nutrition label is only for one slice of sweet potato toast and includes no toppings.

Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container. For best results, don't store with the toppings which will eventually make the sweet potatoes soggy. The sweet potato toast will last about 3-4 days in the fridge. When you're ready to eat, place it back in the toaster over or toaster for just 1 minute to reheat.

Don’t overcook the sweet potatoes: You want them to be fork tender, but not knife tender so they hold their shape and can take the additional weight of the toppings.

What to do with Leftover Sweet Potato: After slicing the widest part of the sweet potatoes, you'll be left with two halves. You can roast these in the even and add toppings of choice. Here's a loaded breakfast sweet potato idea that works great! Or you can peel the skin, and dice the sweet potato to make a sweet potato hash.
