Servings: 10 slices
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes washed and dried
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Peanut butter + banana sweet potato toast:
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter
- ½ banana
- Drizzle of honey
Mediterranean cottage cheese sweet potato toast:

Feta egg and spinach sweet potato toast:

- 1 fried egg with salt and black pepper
- 1 tablespoon feta cheese
Yogurt and berries sweet potato toast:
- ¼ cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup berries of choice
- 1 tablespoon sliced almonds
- 1 tablespoon seeds of choice hemp, chia, flax
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400F and line a large baking tray with parchment paper.
- Use a sharp knife or mandolin to slice off the ends of the sweet potatoes and discard. Then, the sweet potato lengthwise down the middle. Carefully make about 5 slices about ¼” thick.
- Arrange the sweet potato slices in a single layer on your baking tray. Lightly brush each side of the sweet potato slices with olive oil. Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, until they are able to be pierced with a fork but are not too soft! (air fryer method: bake at 390F for 11 minutes, flipping halfway* ensure you do not overcrowd your air fryer basket!).
- Allow to cool and top with your desired toppings
Notes
You can peel the skin or leave the skin on, I personally prefer to leave the skin on the sweet potato for a ‘crust’.
For the safest cutting, slice off a thin portion of the sweet potato on one side to create a flat base. This will make it easier and safer to cut. It is also important to ensure your knife is sharp!
