Step 1: Slice and Roast the Sweet Potato

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and dry the sweet potatoes. Slice lengthwise into ¼–½ inch thick pieces. Brush lightly with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Arrange slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and lightly golden at the edges.

Step 2: Prepare Toppings

While the sweet potatoes are roasting, prepare your toppings. Mash avocado with a pinch of salt and lemon juice. Poach eggs if using. Slice tomatoes or gather herbs and seasonings.

Step 3: Assemble and Serve

Remove sweet potato slices from the oven. Let cool slightly. Spread mashed avocado on top, add poached egg or other toppings, and finish with herbs, seasoning, or microgreens.

Common Mistakes to Avoid When Making Sweet Potato Toast

❌ Cutting slices too thick — they’ll take longer to cook and won’t hold toppings well
❌ Skipping oil — the toasts can dry out
❌ Under-seasoning — sweet potatoes benefit from a little salt even if you’re going sweet
❌ Not roasting long enough — you want them tender but sturdy
