Easy Sweet Potato Toasts

3. Bake the slices for about 20 minutes until they’re a bit soft but not completely cooked. 4. Let the potatoes cool until you can touch them safely. Then, if you want to have a toast right away, just pop a slice in the toaster until it’s crispy on the edges. Remove from toaster, add your desired toppings, and dig in! If you’d like to save your toasts for later, stash the baked sweet potato planks in an airtight container in the fridge over the next 4 days.

We can’t say enough good things about sweet potatoes — they’re nutritionally dense, versatile, and best of all, delicious! Plus, they can be as savory or dessert-like as you want to make them. If you’re feeling a little creative when you do your next batch of food prep, give these quick and easy sweet potato toasts a try. Yes, that’s right; we said toasts! You don’t have to give up bread to stick to your healing foods meal plan, but this is a fun alternative to the Ezekiel and sprouted grain breads we favor. Try topping your toasts with goat cheese, smoked salmon, and pickled onions for a savory twist, or raw

peanut butter, banana slices, and cinnamon for something sweeter. Ingredients

• 2 large sweet potatoes

• Toppings of your choice

Directions 1. Heat your oven to 350 F. While it heats, find a baking sheet and an ovenproof wire cooling rack. Place the cooling rack on top of the baking sheet. 2. Cut off the ends of your sweet potatoes, then slice them lengthwise into 1/4-inch planks. Lay the slices out on the wire rack.
