Let’s Make it together
Preheat and Prepare
Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). While it warms up, wash your sweet potatoes thoroughly under cool running water to remove any dirt.
Slice those Sweet Potatoes
Next, grab a sharp knife and slice the sweet potatoes into 1/4-inch thick slices. Aim for uniformity; this ensures they cook evenly.
Roast the Slices
Arrange the slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle them lightly with olive oil and sprinkle salt and pepper over each slice before placing them in the oven.
Bake Until Tender
Bake for about 20-25 minutes until they are fork-tender and slightly crispy around the edges. You’ll know they’re ready when they smell like heaven!
Assemble Your Toasts
Once out of the oven, let them cool slightly before topping each slice generously with creamy avocado mash mixed with lime juice.
Garnish and Enjoy!
Sprinkle additional toppings like cherry tomatoes or feta cheese if desired. Serve immediately while still warm and enjoy every delicious bite!

You Must Know
- Freshly baked sweet potato toast is a delightful breakfast option, bursting with flavor.
- Here are three tips to elevate your breakfast sweet potato toast game.
Perfectly Cut Sweet Potatoes: Slice your sweet potatoes into 1/4 inch thick pieces for even cooking and optimal texture. I once cut mine too thin, resulting in toast that resembled sad little chips.
Season Generously: Don’t shy away from spices! Cinnamon or paprika adds depth to your sweet potato toast. I learned this after my first bland attempt; now I’m a spice enthusiast!
Toast to Perfection: Use the oven or a toaster for crispiness. I prefer the oven method—just set it at 400°F for 25-30 minutes. The smell of roasting sweet potatoes is heavenly!
Perfecting the Cooking Process
To get the best results, roast your sweet potato slices at 400°F until golden brown, flipping halfway through for even crispiness.
Add Your Touch
Feel free to swap toppings based on your taste! Avocado, nut butter, or yogurt all work beautifully to personalize your breakfast sweet potato toast.
Storing & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes to regain crispiness.
