How to make sweet potato toast

Making sweet potato toast is easy. Trim the ends off of a large sweet potato. Then slice the potato into 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch slices. We prefer 1/2 inch slices but you can slice them thinner, if desired. Cook the sweet potato slices in an oven or toaster.

Toast sweet potatoes

To toast the sweet potato slices in a toaster, you need to toast them a few times until they are cooked through. Toast three to five times on a medium setting, or until the sweet potato is cooked through. Or, you can bake them in the oven and then reheat in the toaster. To reheat, simply pop them in the toaster, top and enjoy!

To make baked sweet potato toast

Baking the slices in the oven is easy! Arrange the sweet potato slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. No oil is needed. Bake at 400°F for 20 minutes or until the sweet potato is soft and tender. You should be able to easily pierce it with a fork.
