Sweet Potato Toast
- 2 medium sweet potatoes (about 1 pound total)
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
Toppings
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/2 pint raspberries or blueberries, or a combination
- 2 tablespoons sliced almonds
- Honey, to taste
- Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Using a sharp knife or mandoline, slice the sweet potatoes lengthwise into 1/4 inch thick slices to create the ‘toast’ base.
- Toast the Sweet Potato Slices: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the sweet potato slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush both sides lightly with the melted butter. Bake for about 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are tender and edges start to crisp up.
- Assemble the Toast: Spread a generous layer of ricotta cheese evenly over each toasted sweet potato slice while still warm.
- Add the Berries: Top each slice with fresh raspberries, blueberries, or a mix of both to your preference.
- Finish with Almonds and Honey: Sprinkle sliced almonds over the berries, then drizzle honey on top to taste for a touch of natural sweetness.
- Serve Immediately: Serve your sweet potato toasts warm as a nutritious and flavorful treat.
Notes
- Choose sweet potatoes that are firm and free of blemishes for best results.
- You can toast the sweet potato slices in a toaster oven if they fit properly.
- For a vegan version, substitute ricotta with almond or cashew-based cheese and use agave syrup instead of honey.
- Adjust the berry quantity based on your preference or seasonal availability.
- To add extra flavor, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg on the sweet potato before toasting.
