Ingredients

Scale

Sweet Potato Toast

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes (about 1 pound total)
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted

Toppings

  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 pint raspberries or blueberries, or a combination
  • 2 tablespoons sliced almonds
  • Honey, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Wash and dry the sweet potatoes thoroughly. Slice them lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick slices to create the ‘toast’ base.
  2. Toast Sweet Potato Slices: Heat a grill pan or regular skillet over medium heat or preheat an oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly brush each sweet potato slice with melted butter on both sides. Toast the slices until tender and slightly golden, about 3-5 minutes per side if using a skillet or grill pan, or 10-15 minutes total if baking in the oven. Flip halfway through to ensure even cooking.
  3. Prepare the Toppings: While the sweet potato ‘toasts’ are cooking, rinse the berries and set aside. Lightly toast the sliced almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant and slightly browned, about 2-3 minutes. Be careful not to burn them.
  4. Assemble the Toasts: Spread a generous layer of ricotta cheese onto each warm sweet potato slice. Top with fresh raspberries and/or blueberries. Sprinkle toasted almonds over the berries for crunch.
  5. Finish with Honey: Drizzle honey over the assembled toasts to taste, adding a natural sweetness that complements the creamy ricotta and tart berries.
  6. Serve: Serve the sweet potato toasts immediately while warm for the best texture and flavor experience.

Notes

  • Sweet potato toasts can also be cooked in an air fryer at 400°F for about 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway.
  • For a dairy-free option, substitute ricotta with almond or coconut-based ricotta alternatives.
  • Use any fresh berries of your choice to vary the flavor.
  • Adjust honey amount according to desired sweetness or use maple syrup as a substitute.
  • Sliced almonds can be replaced with chopped walnuts or pecans for different nutty flavors.
