If you’re like us, we’ve been hearing a lot about sweet potato toast lately. Search it on Pinterest and you’ll see many, many different recipes. In the Test Kitchen, we decided to give it a try and see what all this buzz was about. Is sweet potato toast everything everyone says it is? Long story short, yes! <\/p>\n
There are three methods to cooking sweet potato toast. Each starts the same way.<\/p>\n
Thoroughly wash the sweet potatoes.
<\/p>\n
Cut ends off both sides. Then slice the sweet potatoes lengthwise 3-4 mm wide.
<\/p>\n
Next is where things switch around.<\/p>\n
Method 1. Baking Sweet Potato Slices<\/b>
Brush sweet potato slices with olive oil.
<\/p>\n
Bake at 375 for 20-25 minutes. Flip slices halfway through.
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Method 2. Baking Sweet Potato then Toasting<\/b>
Bake sweet potatoes following Method 1. Then place baked sweet potato into a toaster.
<\/p>\n
Toast on the highest setting two times or until crisp.
<\/p>\n
Method 3. Toasting Only<\/b>
Places slices of raw sweet potato into toaster.
<\/p>\n
Toast on highest setting until cooked through.
<\/p>\n
We liked Method 2 the best. The sweet potato is already cooked, so basically you are crisping it to your liking. It’s very easy to pick up with your hands and eat without a knife and fork. We found in Method 1, the sweet potato gets golden brown but is on the softer side. You had to eat it with a fork. Method 3 was the easiest, but we had to toast it many, many times to get the inside cooked enough. But, then we felt the outside got a bit too crisp.<\/p>\n
Here’s where the fun part begins… Sweet, savory, Paleo, gluten-free or low-carb, the combinations are endless! We tested a few we found in Pinterest-land. The herbed cream cheese and all the sweeter toppings were our favorite, but open your fridge and pantry and see what combinations you can come up with. <\/p>\n
Herbed Cream Cheese<\/b>
Top with herbed cream cheese, cucumber, smoked salmon, dill, cracked pepper and fresh squeezed lemon. Soft poached egg optional.
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Diced Avocado<\/b>
Top with diced avocado, sliced Roma tomatoes, cracked pepper, and more thinly sliced avocado. Again, soft poached egg optional.
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Cream Cheese<\/b>
Smear cream cheese. Add sliced strawberries. Drizzle equal parts balsamic vinegar and honey with a squeeze of lemon. Finish with sliced basil.
<\/p>\n
Almond Butter<\/b>
Spread almond butter. Top with thinly sliced honey crisp apple, toasted coconut and toasted almonds.
<\/p>\n
Peanut Butter<\/b>
Top with peanut butter, banana slices, and pecans. Drizzle honey.
