Sweet Potato Toast
Sweet potatoes can be baked whole (just like Sweet Potato Bake) and chilled ahead of time, then sliced and popped into the toaster for a quick and easy – and familiar – breakfast. Recipe courtesy of Cheryl Overton.
Ingredients:
- Sweet Potatoes (at least 3” diameter)
- Select Toppings: Walmonut Butter, Bananas, Blueberries, Strawberries, Mulberries, Peaches, Apricots, Plums, Raisins, Prunes, Dates, Sweet Jam, Avocado, Sweet Guacamole
Pre-Prep (optional):
Arrange whole sweet potatoes in baking pan. Bake at 400-425°F until you smell a sweet savor and they poke through easily with a fork (about an hour, depending on the size of the sweet potatoes). Remove from oven and allow to cool, then place in the refrigerator to chill. If desired, you can also pre-slice the sweet potatoes into ½-inch patties and layer them with parchment paper.
Toast:
FROM PRE-BAKED: Remove baked sweet potato “loaves” from refrigerator and (if you haven’t already) gently slice into ½-inch patties. Toast the patties in a toaster until they’re hot and crisp on the outside and smell delicious. It may seem odd to put soft, moist sweet potato rounds in the toaster, but don’t worry – they’ll crisp on the outside and come out just fine. Remove toast from the toaster, top with desired toppings, and enjoy!
FROM RAW: If you don’t have the time or desire to bake the sweet potatoes beforehand, you can also make sweet potato toast directly from fresh un-baked sweet potatoes. Slice the sweet potatoes very thin and toast in toaster on the highest setting. The timing will vary, and you may need to toast them twice, but with a little practice (preferably when you’re not in a time crunch) you’ll figure out how to most efficiently work your toaster to produce your favorite breakfast delicacies anytime.
Sweet Jam
If you’d like a favorite familiar fruit topping, blend (in a pull chopper or food processor) any fresh and/or dried fruit for a sweet jam to complement your Walmonut Butter on your toast. For a list of fruit ideas, see Seasonal Fruit Salad.
