Ingredients
Scale
Sweet Potato Toast Base
- 2 medium sweet potatoes (about 1 pound total)
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
Toppings
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/2 pint raspberries or blueberries, or a combination
- 2 tablespoons sliced almonds
- Honey, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and dry the sweet potatoes thoroughly. Using a sharp knife, slice the sweet potatoes lengthwise into 1/4 inch thick slices to create toast-like pieces.
- Roast the Slices: Place the sweet potato slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush both sides of each slice lightly with melted butter to ensure crispiness and flavor. Roast in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the slices are tender and slightly browned around the edges.
- Prepare the Toppings: While the sweet potatoes roast, rinse the berries and pat them dry. Toast the sliced almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently until golden and fragrant, then set aside.
- Assemble the Toast: Once the sweet potato slices have cooled slightly but are still warm, spread about a tablespoon of ricotta cheese evenly on each slice. Top with a generous handful of fresh berries, sprinkle toasted almonds over the berries, and drizzle honey to taste over everything.
- Serve and Enjoy: Arrange the assembled sweet potato toasts on a serving plate and enjoy immediately as a wholesome breakfast or snack.
Notes
- You can substitute the ricotta with Greek yogurt or mascarpone for variation.
- Try different nuts like walnuts or pecans if preferred.
- This recipe works great with an air fryer as well; air fry the sweet potato slices at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway.
- Additional toppings like fresh mint or a sprinkle of cinnamon add extra flavor.
