Sweet Potato Toast: 3 Ways
I LOVE sweet potatoes.
They are a source of vitamin A, potassium, fiber, B vitamins, and more! I roast them in the oven, make my own sweet potato fries, bake them, steam then freeze them for smoothies, etc. So, when I started seeing posts on social media I knew I had to give this sweet potato toast a try. I was hesitant at first, thinking it would be time consuming and difficult to prepare, but to my surprise it was so simple and easy.
Although these sweet potato toasts might look elaborate, they take under 10 minutes to make and taste just as good as they look. I can pretty much guarantee it! As for toppings, pretty much anything goes. Whatever you would normally put on regular toast you can put on sweet potato toast! I tested these out on my mother who is gluten free and she confirmed that sweet potato is WAY better than any gluten free toast options you will find! But don’t just take our word for it, try it out for yourself and let us know what you think!
Enjoy!
