Ingredients
Scale
Sweet Potato Toast
- 2 medium sweet potatoes (about 400g)
Toppings
- 1 cup fresh ricotta cheese (240g)
- 1 cup mixed berries (150g), such as strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries
- 2 tbsp raw honey (30g)
- ¼ cup sliced almonds (30g)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for roasting the sweet potatoes.
- Slice Sweet Potatoes: Cut the sweet potatoes into half-inch thick slices ensuring even thickness for uniform roasting, then arrange them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Roast Sweet Potatoes: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast the sweet potato slices for 25-30 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized on the edges, which enhances their natural sweetness.
- Cool Slightly: Remove the roasted sweet potato slices from the oven and allow them to cool slightly so the ricotta won’t melt when spread on top.
- Spread Ricotta: Generously spread fresh ricotta cheese over each slice of sweet potato, creating a creamy base for the toppings.
- Add Berries and Honey: Top each ricotta-covered sweet potato slice with mixed berries, drizzle with raw honey to add natural sweetness, and then sprinkle sliced almonds for crunch.
- Serve: Serve the sweet potato toasts warm to enjoy the perfect combination of textures and flavors.
Notes
- Sweet potatoes can be sliced thinner for crispier toast or thicker for softer texture.
- Use seasonal berries for best flavor and freshness.
- Raw honey enhances the natural sweetness but can be substituted with maple syrup for a vegan option.
- For a nut-free version, omit the sliced almonds or replace them with pumpkin seeds.
- Leftover sweet potato toasts can be refrigerated and gently reheated before serving.
