Ingredients
Scale
Sweet Potato Toast
- 1 large sweet potato, scrubbed clean and sliced lengthwise
- 1 tbsp olive or coconut oil
- 1 garlic clove, smashed
Avocado Topping
- 1 avocado
- ½ tbsp lemon juice
- ¼ tsp sea salt
- ¼ tsp chili flakes
- freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Eggs
- 4 eggs
Instructions
- Preheat oven and prepare baking sheet: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure the sweet potato slices don’t stick during roasting.
- Prepare and oil sweet potato slices: Arrange the lengthwise slices of sweet potato on the lined baking sheet. Brush one side generously with oil, then flip each slice and brush the other side to ensure even roasting.
- Roast the sweet potatoes: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast the sweet potato slices for 30 minutes total. Flip them halfway through, at the 20-minute mark, to achieve even cooking and a crispy texture on both sides.
- Rub garlic on roasted sweet potatoes: Once the sweet potato toast is done and slightly cooled, rub each slice with the smashed garlic clove to infuse a subtle garlicky aroma and flavor.
- Prepare avocado spread: In a bowl, mash the avocado with lemon juice, sea salt, freshly ground black pepper, and chili flakes until smooth and creamy. This adds a zesty and spicy dimension to the creamy avocado.
- Assemble the toast: Spread the smashed avocado mixture evenly over each roasted sweet potato slice, creating a vibrant base for the eggs.
- Cook and top with eggs: Cook the eggs to your preference—fried eggs with runny yolks are recommended for the best taste and texture. Place an egg atop each sweet potato toast slice with avocado and serve immediately.
Notes
- For the best results, select sweet potatoes that are firm and evenly shaped for uniform cooking.
- You can substitute lemon juice with lime juice for a different citrus note.
- Adjust chili flakes according to your spice preference or omit if you prefer a milder flavor.
- Eggs can be poached, scrambled, or boiled depending on your taste.
- This recipe is naturally gluten-free and can be made dairy-free by choosing coconut oil instead of butter.
- Leftover sweet potato slices can be stored in the refrigerator and gently reheated in a toaster or oven.
