Easy Sweet Potato Toast
Description
Easy Sweet Potato Toast uses halved yams sliced about a quarter-inch thick, baked in the oven until tender. The slices become soft yet sturdy enough to support toppings. Topping the baked slices with mashed banana and a pinch of cinnamon adds creamy sweetness and warming spice. The method is straightforward, requiring only the oven for cooking and no frying, keeping the preparation uncomplicated.
The texture of the toasted sweet potato gives a tender bite contrasting with the smooth banana mash. This recipe can be enjoyed as a breakfast or snack, offering a change from traditional breads. Adjusting slice thickness ensures even baking.
Alternatives include skipping banana and cinnamon for savory toppings, while selecting orange sweet potatoes can increase sweetness naturally. Cutting slices evenly helps them cook uniformly.
Ingredients
- ½ yam
- 1 banana
- cinnamon a pinch
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Cut yam in half lengthwise. Thinly slice using a sharp knife with slices about ¼ inch thick.
- Place yam slices on a baking tray and bake for 20 minutes or until soft.
- While the yam is baking, mash the banana in a small bowl.
- When the yam is finished baking, top with mashed banana and sprinkle on a pinch of cinnamon.
Notes
- Cut sweet potato slices evenly to ensure they cook at the same rate in the oven.
- For a sweeter flavor, orange-fleshed sweet potatoes can be used instead of yams.
- Omit banana and cinnamon and try savory toppings for variety.
