Sweet Potato Toast (Two Way’s)

Sweet potato toast is a healthy breakfast or snack that is super versatile! This is great for those of you who are gluten-free and/or vegetarian. Not only is the sweet potato portion of this meal healthy, but the toppings that go on are also good for you and so delicious.

I love this meal because it is so easy to make and I can make it whatever I want. My two favorite variations are peanut butter, honey and granola and mashed avocado. They both offer lots of healthy fat, fiber and so much flavor!

This is also a great recipe to meal prep and make ahead of time. I like to cook 1 or 2 potatoes at a time and store the extra cooked slices in the fridge. In the mornings all I have to do is reheat in the toasted or air fryer then top with my favorite toppings!

What you’ll need:

My recipe for sweet potato toast is super simple. I listed two of my favorite options for toppings here but have even more options below!

  • Sweet Potato: First and most importantly, you need one large sweet potato. I like to peel my sweet potato and slice it into 1/4 inch thick slices. You can keep the skin on if you prefer, just be sure to clean to sweet potato well first.
  • Peanut Butter Granola Topping: For a peanut butter granola topping, all you need is peanut butter, granola of your choice, and honey.
  • Mashed Avocado Topping: For a mashed avocado topping, you just need avocado and everything seasoning!

Air Fryer Method

Kelley’s Tips

  • Prep them ahead of time! You can make a batch of sweet potato toast to have the sweet potato ready and assemble with your favorite toppings on the day of. Keep in mind, you might want to cook the sweet potatoes a little bit less so that they don’t get too soft when you reheat them.
  • Cooking time varies! The cooking time here varies depending on the thickness of your sweet potato slices. If they are on the thicker side, try cooking them just a little longer.
  • Choose the largest sweet potatoes at the store. The larger the sweet potato the better! That way, you have more surface area on the toast for all those delicious toppings.
  • Slice off one end of the sweet potato first. For safe slicing, it is a good idea to chop off an end and stand the sweet potato on the flat edge to prevent any wobbling.
