Ingredients
Sweet Potato Toast
- 1 large sweet potato, scrubbed clean and sliced lengthwise
- 1 tbsp olive or coconut oil
- 1 garlic clove, smashed
Avocado Topping
- 1 avocado
- ½ tbsp lemon juice
- ¼ tsp sea salt
- ¼ tsp chili flakes
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Eggs
- 4 eggs
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Prepare Sweet Potato Slices: Arrange the sweet potato slices lengthwise on the lined baking sheet. Brush both sides of each slice with olive or coconut oil to ensure they roast evenly and develop a crispy surface.
- Roast Sweet Potatoes: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast the sweet potato slices for 30 minutes total. Flip the slices over after 20 minutes to promote even cooking and browning on both sides.
- Garlic Rub: Once the sweet potato toast is cooked and slightly cooled, rub each slice with the smashed garlic clove to infuse a subtle garlic flavor.
- Prepare Avocado Spread: While the sweet potatoes roast, mash the avocado in a bowl. Mix in lemon juice, sea salt, chili flakes, and freshly ground black pepper to taste. This creates a zesty and creamy topping.
- Spread Avocado: Evenly spread the mashed avocado mixture over each sweet potato slice, covering the tops generously.
- Cook Eggs: Cook the eggs to your liking. The recipe recommends frying them to enjoy runny yolks that complement the avocado and sweet potato toast beautifully.
- Assemble and Serve: Top each avocado-covered sweet potato toast with a cooked egg. Serve immediately while warm for a delicious and nutritious meal.
Notes
- For extra crispness, you can broil the sweet potato slices for 1-2 minutes after roasting, watching closely to avoid burning.
- Feel free to add toppings like cherry tomatoes, feta cheese, or fresh herbs for more flavor.
- Use ripe avocados for a creamier spread.
- This recipe can be made vegan by omitting eggs and adding other toppings such as sautéed mushrooms or tomatoes.
