Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 medium firm sweet potatoes, washed and sliced into 1/4 inch rounds or lengthwise slices
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Optional Toppings

  • Avocado, sliced or smashed
  • Feta cheese, crumbled
  • Hummus
  • Nut butter (such as almond or peanut butter)
  • Fresh herbs (basil, cilantro, or parsley)
  • Cherry tomatoes
  • Chili flakes
  • Honey
  • Poached eggs
  • Roasted vegetables
  • Smoked paprika or cumin
  • Seeds or nuts for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Begin by washing the sweet potatoes thoroughly. Slice them into 1/4 inch thick rounds or lengthwise slices. Thinner slices toast more quickly and become crispier, but be careful not to cut too thin to avoid breaking.
  2. Season the Slices: Lightly brush both sides of each sweet potato slice with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper evenly to ensure every slice is well coated, which enhances flavor and crispiness.
  3. Toast the Sweet Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place the slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper in a single layer, avoiding overcrowding. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through, until they are tender inside with crispy edges.
  4. Add Toppings: Once toasted, top the sweet potato slices with your choice of avocado, feta, hummus, nut butters, fresh herbs, or any other preferred toppings. Serve immediately to enjoy the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Choose firm, medium-sized sweet potatoes to prevent slices from falling apart.
  • Slice the sweet potatoes evenly to ensure uniform cooking and crispiness.
  • Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to allow proper air circulation and avoid sogginess.
  • Adjust oven temperature slightly if you want softer or crunchier results.
  • Serve Toast Patate Douce fresh out of the oven as toppings can become soggy over time.
