05 - 1/2 cup cottage cheese

# Directions:

01 - Set oven temperature to 400°F for optimal roasting conditions.
02 - Cut sweet potatoes lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick slices using a sharp knife for uniform thickness.
03 - Brush both sides of each slice with olive oil and sprinkle lightly with salt to enhance flavor.
04 - Place slices in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring no overlap for even cooking.
05 - Bake for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking, until slices are fork-tender and lightly golden brown.
06 - Remove from oven and allow slices to cool for 2–3 minutes to develop firm texture for topping.
07 - Top sweet potato toasts with desired combinations. Create savory pairings like avocado with cherry tomatoes, cottage cheese with chives, hummus with feta, or eggs with fresh herbs. For sweet variations, try peanut butter with banana and granola, or cottage cheese drizzled with honey.
08 - Serve immediately while warm for optimal texture and flavor experience.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • You can prep a batch of toasts ahead and keep them in the fridge for quick assembly all week long
  • Each toast is like a blank canvas that works equally well with savory breakfast toppings or sweet afternoon snack creations
02 -
  • Sweet potatoes vary wildly in thickness, so check your toast after 15 minutes and remove thinner slices early to prevent burning
  • Letting the roasted slices cool completely before storing them keeps them from getting soggy in the refrigerator
03 -
  • Look for sweet potatoes that are similar in diameter so your toasts cook evenly
  • If your sweet potatoes are particularly thick, slice them in half lengthwise before cutting into toast-sized planks
