Sweet Potato Toasts

I like these little toasts. They make tiny sandwiches without the refined carbs of bread. They give the sandwich a unique taste with the sweetness of the sweet potato paired with the saltiness of your filling.

To make the toast, slice them and bake them in the oven. So easy!

I don’t use any oil. My experience is oil makes them soft and besides, who needs the extra calories?

I let them cool in the oven to reduce the moisture that can build up as they cool. If they are too moist, they will be floppy, sticky and difficult to hold. They turn out a little drier this way, especially if you are going to store them in the refrigerator.

What can you put on them? They made wonderful BLTs. I use mashed avocado instead of mayonnaise.

How about a PLT? (prosciutto, lettuce and tomato)

Throw on some leftover turkey and spinach leaves, add a small dollop of cranberry sauce and you have a portable turkey dinner.

Use cold cuts (turkey, ham).

How about some chicken salad with spinach leaves? or chickpea salad? Yum.

Today we had crab salad. The rest had it on bread, I had it on my sweet potatoes.

 

How about little mini burgers?

or just eat them plain with a little salt or cinnamon.

All good. 😋

Watch the sweet potatoes at the end so they don’t burn, at least until you know how quickly they cook in your oven, especially if some are thinner than others. You may need to adjust the time a bit. If some start to get too brown just pull them off early.
