Learn how to make perfect sweet potato toast using your oven or air fryer, complete with simple instructions and five versatile sweet and savory topping ideas for a healthy breakfast alternative.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional, for oven method)
  • Pinch of salt and pepper (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the sweet potatoes: Wash and dry the sweet potatoes. Slice them lengthwise into planks about 1/4 inch thick. You should get 3-4 slices per potato.
  2. Choose your cooking method:
  3. Oven Method: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly brush the slices with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper, if using. Arrange slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15-20 minutes, flip the slices, and bake for another 10-15 minutes, until tender but firm enough to hold toppings.
  4. Air Fryer Method: Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Place slices in a single layer in the basket (work in batches if necessary). Cook for 10-12 minutes, flip, and cook for another 5-8 minutes until cooked through and slightly crisp.
  5. Remove the cooked sweet potato toast slices from the heat source. Let them cool slightly before adding toppings.
  6. Top immediately with your choice of sweet or savory combinations.

Notes

  • For meal prepping, you can toast the sweet potato slices ahead of time and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat briefly in the toaster or oven before topping.
  • If your sweet potatoes are very thick, you may need to increase the cooking time by 5-10 minutes.
  • Sweet potato toast is naturally gluten free, paleo, and Whole30 compatible when using compliant toppings.
