Ingredients
To recreate this tasty dish, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- 2 large sweet potatoes, scrubbed and sliced into 1/4-inch thick pieces
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Your choice of toppings (e.g., avocado, nut butter, smoked salmon, or fresh berries)
If you don’t have olive oil on hand, feel free to substitute with coconut or avocado oil, which also complements the sweet potato’s natural flavors beautifully.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Slice your sweet potatoes lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick slices. This thickness ensures they’ll cook evenly and hold up under toppings.
- In a bowl, toss the sweet potato slices with olive oil, salt, and pepper until well-coated. This step reminds me of the times I helped my abuela season her dishes, learning the importance of balancing flavors.
- Arrange the slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the slices are tender and slightly crispy around the edges. The aroma will fill your kitchen with warmth, much like my grandma’s sopa de fideo on a cold day.
- Once baked, allow the toasts to cool slightly before adding toppings of your choice. The possibilities are endless, allowing you to personalize each slice to suit your tastes.
