Instructions

  1. Prepare the sweet potatoes: Wash and dry the sweet potatoes. Slice them lengthwise into uniform pieces, about 1/4 inch thick. You should get 3 to 4 slices per potato.
  2. Preheat your cooking device. For the Oven Method: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. For the Air Fryer Method: Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (195°C).
  3. Season the slices: Lightly brush both sides of the sweet potato slices with olive oil (if using) and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  4. Cook the slices (Oven Method): Arrange slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
  5. Cook the slices (Air Fryer Method): Place slices in the air fryer basket in a single layer, working in batches if necessary. Cook for 12 to 15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and tender.
  6. Prepare your chosen toppings while the toast cooks.
  7. Assemble the toast: Place the cooked sweet potato slices on a plate. Add your desired toppings immediately.
  8. Serve your sweet potato toast right away for the best texture. This is a great base for your weekly meal planning, similar to using best meal delivery services for inspiration.

Notes

  • For crispier edges, you can lightly toast the slices a second time after the initial cook, watching carefully to prevent burning.
  • If you are following a keto meal plan delivery, use low-sugar toppings like avocado and egg, avoiding the cinnamon sugar option.
  • This recipe works well for meal prep; toast the slices ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat briefly in the toaster or air fryer before topping.
