YEP I SAID IT – Sweet Potato Toast! Can you tell I love sweet potatoes? Between my Breakfast Sweet Potat-“Oats” and my Caramelized Onion & Kale Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes, It seems I find a way to work them into this blog once a week!
A couple of weeks ago I woke up craving avocado toast and thought we had bread but WE DIDN’T! So sad. So I sliced up some taters, made my first sweet potato toast and posted it on my Instagram. I knew that it was an awesome idea and although it doesn’t really require a recipe, I had to share it with you! I decided to try it with a few topping options and loved all 3 so much.
Avocado was an obvious choice as it goes well on anything – especially sweet taters. So then I thought, what else do I love on toast? Well there were really only 2 other things. Almond Butter and Tuna! Not together. That would be a little scary. Unless I made the almond butter into some kind of thai dressing and tossed it with tuna…. mmmmm see how my brain works? YUM. These are PERFECTION for when I do a Whole30 or am trying to limit my grains!
I digress. Almond butter goes with banana and cinnamon and the tuna gets a kick from relish and red onion.
So here is how its done:
How to make Sweet Potato Toast:
Step 1: Slice sweet potato into toast like pieces (about 1/4 inch thick) and add to toaster.
Step 2: Toast TWICE! It took mine 2 rounds on high (could take 3-4 though!) in the toaster to cook through and result in this slightly browned “toast”. Here is the Cuisinart Toaster I have:
Step 3: TOP!
Topping options for Sweet Potato Toast:
Avocado Toast: Sliced avocado, salt, pepper & lemon zest.
Nut Butter: Almond Butter, banana slices and cinnamon!
Tuna! I added mayo, relish & red onion to mine but feel free to make it how you like it.
Nutrition for Sweet Potato Toast:
Sweet Potato Toast is a healthy, whole30 & grain free alternative to your favorite breakfast! Sweet potatoes are high in Vitamin A & C, much higher in these nutrients than White Potatoes are, so they are much more nutrient rich option! Vitamin A assists with eye health and Vitamin C with immunity! Eat sweet potatoes 2-3 times a week to reap the benefits!

I love this!!!! What a great idea you rock miss!!!
Thanks Macy!! ENJOY! 🙂
Anyone try this in the toaster oven?
I have not but try it out and let me know!! 🙂
Yes! I did it in the toaster oven because my toaster didn’t cook it enough. I still ran it through the cycle twice (it was still crunchy-but delicious) I had 1/2 an avocado so I sliced it added sea salt & pepper and lemon zest and it was fabulous! The lemon zest gave it a nice ending note. Now I have to try the other options too.
Woo hoo!! 🙂
Was the sweet potato raw before you put it into the toaster
Yes it was!! 🙂

What is the secret to slicing the sweet potato? I have always had difficulty cutting raw sweet potato into chunks.
A good knife! You can also slice a little off of the bottom for stability before slicing!
This looks delicious and so easy! I’m going to have to give this a try!
Thanks Donna!! You have to try and let me know what you think! 🙂
Can’t have any grains. I have not had toast for 3 1/2 years and every time I cut into an avocado, I crave toast. SO excited right now, I wish I was hungry. I noticed you didn’t peel the SP. I’m not trying to be a child, but will I want the crusts off?
Ah you will love this!!! Yes you can totally peel the crust off! 🙂 I hope you love it!!
OMG OMGOMG!!! YOU CAN PUT SWEET POTATO INTO A TOASTER! STOP IT!!!
HAHA!! YESSS YOU CAN AND I WILL NOT STOP!! 🙂 🙂
This is brilliant! Does the sweet potato leak or get sticky/sappy in the toaster?
Nope! Cooks it perfectly and stays dry!! 🙂
Love this!!!!
Thanks Linda!!
Thanks so much for the new ideas. I love sweet taters, avacados, tuna, and I will be trying the almond butter with bananas for sure. I would probably just add Lemon pepper in stead of salt, pepper & zest but your taste buds are right up my alley so to speak. Lol I’m trying to eat healthier and loose some Lbs. Thanks again.
Love lemon pepper!! I hope you enjoy! 🙂
