Baking Tips

Select sweet potatoes with a uniform width throughout for the most consistent toast slices

The optimal thickness is about 1/4 inch - too thin and they'll burn, too thick and they won't cook through in the center

A mandoline slicer will give you the most consistent results, but a sharp chef's knife works well too

For crispier edges, pat the sweet potato slices dry with paper towels before cooking

If using the toaster method, be careful when removing the slices as they may be softer than regular toast

Sweet potato toast can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 3 days - simply reheat in the toaster when ready to eat

For meal prep, cook a batch of slices and store in an airtight container with parchment paper between layers

Different sweet potato varieties will yield different flavors - orange ones tend to be sweeter, while purple or white varieties have a milder taste

Allow the toast to cool for 1-2 minutes before adding toppings to prevent sogginess

For extra flavor, brush slices with olive oil mixed with spices (like cinnamon for sweet or garlic powder for savory) before cooking

Instructions

Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly, but do not peel them. Pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Using a sharp chef's knife or mandoline slicer, cut the sweet potatoes lengthwise into slices approximately 1/4-inch thick. For best results, keep the thickness as consistent as possible.

Choose your preferred cooking method from the following options:

TOASTER METHOD: Place the sweet potato slices directly in your toaster. Toast on the highest setting for 2-3 cycles, or until the slices are fully cooked and slightly browned on the edges. The exact number of cycles will depend on your toaster's power.

OVEN METHOD: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the sweet potato slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until fork tender with slightly crisp edges.

PAN-FRY METHOD: Heat 1-2 tablespoons of oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add sweet potato slices in a single layer (working in batches if necessary). Cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork.

Optional: Lightly season the cooked sweet potato slices with a pinch of sea salt.

Allow the slices to cool slightly (they will firm up a bit more as they cool).

Top each slice with your choice of sweet or savory toppings.

Add optional garnishes as desired.

Serve immediately while still warm.
