If you haven’t tried sweet potato toast yet, then you are missing out! I always have sweet potatoes lying around, so this is a great recipe to use up that single potato you have in the kitchen. It’s such a healthy way to start the day, and it’s just as easy as making regular toast. It’s really as simple as adding the sliced sweet potatoes into a toaster! Don’t believe me? Keep on reading to see how I make mine as well as step by step photos. 

Key Ingredients You Need

Ingredients needed to make sweet potato toast.
  • Sweet potatoes — I like to slice my sweet potatoes lengthwise, so I have to make sure the length of the potatoes isn’t longer than my toaster. Avoid any sweet potatoes that are stringy as it is a sign that they are past their prime. Make sure to store your sweet potatoes in a cool and dry place until you’re ready to use them. Avoid storing them in the fridge as it will cause the middle to be hard. 

How to Make Sweet Potato Toast

Step 1: Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes as we are keeping the skins on.

Step 2: Cut the sweet potato lengthwise into ½" slices.

Step 3: Lightly coat each sweet potato slice with olive oil.

Step 4: Place the potato slices into a toaster and cook on a medium-high level for 3 - 4 toasting cycles depending on your toaster.

Tips For This Recipe

  • If you do not have a mandoline slicer, you can use a knife. Cut off one tip of the potato so you can stand it upright to make slicing it more manageable.
  • If there is a large selection of sweet potato varieties, pick the red or oranged skinned sweet potatoes as they tend to be creamier.
  • Depending on how powerful your toaster is, you may have to toast the slices of sweet potatoes more or less than 3 to 4 toasting cycles. Once the sweet potatoes are fork-tender, they’re ready to go.
  • Avoid slicing the potatoes too thin or too thick. If they’re too thin, they might burn in the toaster, and if they’re too thick, the interior won’t be cooked through while the exterior burns.
  • You might have to rotate or flip the sweet potato slices between toasting cycles depending on your toaster. Use a pair of tongs to move them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are sweet potatoes healthy?

They are! Sweet potatoes have a ton of fiber, vitamin C, and potassium. They’re also suitable for various diets as they’re naturally gluten-free, paleo-friendly, Whole30 approved, keto-friendly, and low in calories. 

Can I make this ahead of time?

You can make this recipe ahead of time and then reheat them quickly in the toaster in the morning. Be sure to store the cooked sweet potatoes in an airtight container in the fridge. Do not reheat them in the microwave as they will become soft and won’t hold up the toppings.

What if I don’t have a toaster?

You can bake the sweet potatoes in the oven or a toaster oven if you do not own a toaster. Simply line a sheet pan and bake for 15 to 20 minutes at 350°F. 

What toppings can I put on my toast?

I usually top my sweet potato slices with avocado and everything but the bagel seasoning. My other favorite toppings are bacon, guacamole, cottage cheese with fresh fruit, peanut butter with banana slices, sunny side up eggs, and mango salsa.
