- ½ cup cherry tomatoes halved
- ¼ cup microgreens
- 2 oz 60g smoked salmon (optional)
- 2 tbsp almond butter with 1 banana sliced, and a pinch of cinnamon
Instructions
Slice and Roast
- I preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. I wash and dry 2 sweet potatoes, slicing them lengthwise into ¼–½ inch thick pieces. I brush both sides with 1 tbsp olive oil, sprinkle with ¼ tsp salt and ¼ tsp black pepper, and arrange on the baking sheet. I roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway, until tender and lightly golden.
Prepare Toppings
- While roasting, I prep toppings. I mash 1 avocado with a pinch of salt and a splash of lemon juice. I poach 1–2 eggs if using, slice ½ cup cherry tomatoes, and gather herbs, microgreens, or other toppings for this nutrient-packed toast.
Assemble and Serve
- I let the sweet potato slices cool slightly, then spread with avocado, add eggs or other toppings, and finish with 1 tsp everything bagel seasoning or 1 tbsp herbs. I serve warm for maximum flavor.
Notes
- Slice potatoes evenly to ensure consistent cooking.
- Roast extra slices ahead and reheat for quick breakfasts during the week.
- Season potato slices with spices like paprika, garlic powder, or cumin for added flavor.
- For extra crispness, broil the slices for the last 2–3 minutes.
