Ingredients

Scale

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)

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the Toast Patate Douce warm for the best flavor and texture, making a satisfying snack or breakfast.

Notes

  • Use evenly sliced sweet potatoes to ensure uniform cooking and avoid burning.
  • Preheat the oven to get a quick, crispy crust on each slice.
  • 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.
