Ingredients
Sweet Potato Toast
- 1 large sweet potato, scrubbed clean and sliced lengthwise
- 1 tbsp olive or coconut oil
- 1 garlic clove, smashed
Avocado Topping
- 1 avocado
- ½ tbsp lemon juice
- ¼ tsp sea salt
- ¼ tsp chili flakes
Eggs
- 4 eggs
Instructions
- Preheat oven and prepare sweet potatoes: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Oil and bake sweet potato slices: Arrange the sweet potato slices on the baking sheet and brush both sides with oil. Place them in the oven and bake for 30 minutes total, flipping the slices after 20 minutes to ensure even cooking.
- Rub with garlic: After baking, rub the hot sweet potato slices with the smashed garlic clove to infuse them with flavor.
- Prepare avocado spread: In a bowl, mash the avocado with lemon juice, sea salt, fresh pepper, and chili flakes until creamy and well combined.
- Spread avocado on sweet potatoes: Generously spread the mashed avocado mixture over each sweet potato slice.
- Cook eggs: Prepare the eggs to your liking; frying is recommended for runny yolks that complement the toast well.
- Assemble and serve: Top each avocado-covered sweet potato slice with a cooked egg and serve immediately for a delicious, nutritious meal.
