Sweet Potato Toast

Sweet potato toast has been sweeping the internet and, at first, I thought it was a weird internet hack, but after a little experimentation it turns out it actually works! Not only is it rather easy to make, but it’s quite tasty too, and can be swapped for regular toast for a sweet or savory satisfying snack.

I absolutely love sweet potatoes. Since I don’t eat a ton of grains, they are a staple food in my diet providing a great source of complex carbohydrates to help me fuel and recover from all of my workouts. I typically roast them into wedges or fries, bake them whole or add them to soups or stews, but this toast idea is a great addition to my repertoire! Not only are sweet potatoes rich in vitamins A and C, but they are lower glycemic than standard bread making them a great alternative for those limiting carbohydrates or trying to lose weight.

How to Make Sweet Potato Toast

Making sweet potato toast is easy, here’s what you need to do:

1. Slice the potatoes. Sliced potatoes lengthwise into 1/4″ slices.
2. Toast the potatoes. Add sliced potatoes to a toaster, toaster oven, or baking sheet in the oven at 400°F and cook until tender on the inside and slightly crispy on the outside.
3. Layer with toppings. Once toasted, add your favorite toppings to the toast and enjoy!
