Sweet potato “toast” has been on my radar for some time now and I finally got around to trying it. Getting a foot of snow and being snowed in gave me the perfect opportunity to do so and luckily, I had all the ingredients for this variation on hand. Supposedly, you can make these in an actual toaster too, but I got rid of my toaster oven a while back because I no longer had use for it.
I went with a nutty (yes, I know sunflower seed butter isn’t made from nuts, but it yields a nutty flavor), spiced and slightly sweet combo here, but really, there are many possibilities. All the toppings listed here are to taste, so make it how you want it. Also, I used a white sweet potato here, but feel free to use whatever sweet potato variety you like. Meanwhile, I may post other creations of sweet potato “toast” in the near future, so stay tuned.
Enjoy!
By the way, I went back on KATU Afternoon Live this past Monday and made my spiced chicken stew recipe. Watch my segment HERE.
Ingredients:
- 1 medium sweet potato, sliced into ~ 1/4″ vertical slices
- Avocado oil, for drizzling (I used this brand)
- Unsweetened sunflower seed butter (I used this one)
- Unsweetened shredded coconut flakes
- Ground turmeric
- Sea salt
- Black pepper
- Raw honey, if desired
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place sweet potato slices evenly on sheet. If any of the sweet potato slices end up being a bit thicker, pierce a few times with a fork. Lightly oil both sides of the sweet potato slices with avocado oil and then place in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until slightly toasted.
- Once the sweet potato slices have cooked, spread desired amount of sunflower seed butter on top of each slice. Then, top each with desired amount of unsweetened coconut flakes, turmeric, sea salt and black pepper, and a drizzle of raw honey, if using. Enjoy warm.
Yields: 2 servings
This sounds wonderful!!
Thanks, Shonnie! My husband and I really enjoyed these and actually, they tasted even better than we anticipated.
I think we will make these this weekend.
Yay! Enjoy!

I found the recipe I was looking for! Yay! I bought the ingredients and maybe this will be breakfast in the am! I’m kind of excited. I planned to make this a long time ago, but body issues derailed my plans. I am kind of used to body issues now … so I’ll let you know
Hope you enjoy it! I hope your body does okay with it too.
Thanks! I was so glad when I remembered where I shared it. Hoping my body keeps holding. Right now, eating paleo kinda makes me gain, but it helps with my energy …so… we will see.
This is awesome! I love sweet potatoes so I am looking forward to trying this over the weekend.
Aw, thank you! Hope you enjoy it (or enjoyed it if you already made it)!
Amazing. It looks so appetizing and delicious. I want to try one someday.
Thanks, I hope you do!
