This sweet potato toast done 3 different ways is the best thing since sliced bread! Choose from sweet figs and marmalade yogurt, Indian curried apricots and peas, or a rich Thai peanut butter and fried egg combo – you will love this gluten free, paleo breakfast!

Okay, guys. Let’s get real. Y’all know I’m pretty keen on selling food for what it is – tasty, colourful, bright. I am well aware that my chocolate cauliflower pizza crust is not pizza, and that my love affair with zucchini noodles is not quite as strong as it is with the real deal. I am also in the know that sweet potato “toast” is not actually toast, BUT that if you called it anything else, it wouldn’t make sense.

Bread is only bread until you put it into a toaster. So naturally, sweet potato can bare the title as well if it takes a dip into the appliance. I wanted to have a little fun and switch up my usual breakfast routine and ta-da, that’s how sweet potato toast was born.

How to Make Sweet Potato Toast

Whipping up some sweet potato toast is actually pretty easy. First, I peel my sweet potatoes and slice them about 5 mm thick, give or take. There’s only so much control you can have over a sharp knife along a hard vegetable like a sweet potato. The next step is the last one really- just pop it into the toaster for a few rounds until the piece is hot and relatively tender. I find it takes about 3 rounds in my toaster, but you may be good to go after just one on the “bagel” setting. This sweet potato toast is a forgiving recipe so I wouldn’t stress either way.

Black Pepper Fig Marmalade Sweet Potato Toast

This sweet potato toast is definitely my jam. I like the sweet and spicy combination of tangy marmalade and greek yogurt, caramelized and peppered figs and crunchy pistachios on top.

Indian Curried Apricots with Coconut Cream Sweet Potato Toast

This sweet potato toast starts my whizzing cottage cheese and coconut milk in a food processor until smooth. Then I lightly caramelize apricots in curry powder, finish it with fresh peas and a little cilantro. Talk about a fun way to wake up!

Thai Peanut Butter, Mango and Fried Egg Sweet Potato Toast

Talk about a mouthful of happiness. This sweet potato toast starts with a Thai-inspired peanut butter spread, a layer of sweet mangos, crushed peanuts and a runny egg. Feel free to load it up with sriracha for an extra kick!
