Base
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, washed and sliced about 1/4 inch thick
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Toppings (choose as preferred)
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced or mashed
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta or goat cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (cilantro, basil, or parsley), chopped
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes or smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Optional Variations
- Hummus or nut butter (for vegan option)
- 1 poached or fried egg (for protein boost)
- 1/4 cup ricotta cheese, fresh berries, and a sprinkle of cinnamon (for sweet twist)
- 1/4 cup sautéed mushrooms (for savory spice)
- 2 tablespoons toasted nuts (walnuts or pecans)
- Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Wash and slice the sweet potatoes into evenly thick rounds about 1/4 inch thick to ensure they cook through without becoming mushy.
- Season and Oil: Lightly brush each slice with olive oil on both sides, then season with salt and pepper to enhance flavor and create a crispy exterior.
- Toast or Roast: Arrange the slices on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Roast in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through. Alternatively, toast in a toaster oven if slices fit.
- Add Your Favorite Toppings: Once the sweet potatoes are toasted and tender, layer on toppings such as avocado, crumbled cheese, fresh herbs, and a drizzle of honey to balance textures and flavors.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve the Toast Patate Douce warm for the best flavor and texture, making a satisfying snack or breakfast.

- Don’t overload toppings to keep the toast crisp and avoid sogginess.
- Experiment with spices like cumin or cinnamon to enhance flavor profiles.
- Use fresh ingredients such as ripe avocados and fresh herbs for better taste.
