Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400F
  2. Wash & dry your sweet potato. Leave the skin on.*
  3. Cut your potato lengthwise into 1/4” thick slices.
  4. Pierce each slice with a fork to help steam escape & improve the texture.
  5. Lay slices flat on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silpat.
  6. Bake for about 15-20 minutes at 400F. **
  7. Allow to cool slightly & add desired toppings.

*Eating the skin adds more nutrition such as fiber & potassium. In addition, baking or toasting them preserves more nutrients than boiling.

**Note: You can also make sweet potato toast in a toaster. Toast on the highest setting of your toaster until tender when pierced with a fork.
