Learn the simple methods to create perfect sweet potato toast using your oven or air fryer. This recipe provides a sturdy, nutrient-packed base for quick, customizable, gluten-free, and paleo breakfast or snack options.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional, for oven method)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or your air fryer to 380°F (195°C).
  2. Wash the sweet potatoes well. Do not peel them.
  3. Slice the sweet potatoes lengthwise into uniform pieces, about 1/4 inch thick. Aim for 4 slices per potato.
  4. If using the oven: Lightly brush both sides of the slices with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  5. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the slices are tender when pierced with a fork but still hold their shape.
  6. If using the air fryer: Place slices in a single layer in the basket (work in batches if necessary). Air fry for 10 to 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until tender.
  7. Remove the sweet potato slices from the heat source. They are now ready to use as your grain-free breakfast base for sweet or savory toppings.

Notes

  • For a crispier texture, you can toast the slices in a standard toaster after the initial baking/air frying step, but watch them closely as they can burn quickly.
  • For meal prep, prepare a batch of toast slices and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat briefly before topping.
  • Sweet potato toast is a fantastic avocado toast alternative.
