Sweet potato toast is a delicious & nutritious way to add some fall flavor to your meals. It works great as a breakfast toast or a lunchtime open-faced sandwich.

Here are our four favorite topping combinations. The first two bring out the sweet potato’s natural sweetness, and the other two emphasize its savory side.

One sweet potato will give you at least four slices of toast, so you can try them all!

Basic Sweet Potato Toast

Ingredients:

• 1 large sweet potato (makes 4 slices)

Directions:

1. Wash & scrub potato with a vegetable brush.
2. Slice off one end first. Then, with the flat side down, prop up the sweet potato and hold firmly.
3. Using a large, sharp knife, carefully cut lengthwise into 1/4 inch thick slices.
4. Place slices in toaster oven and toast until fork-tender but not soft. (10-15 minutes) 
   • No toaster oven? You can use a regular toaster, but you’ll probably have to push the lever down several times. OR, bake in an oven at 350° for 15-20 minutes.
5. Remove sweet potato slices and allow to cool slightly before adding toppings.
