Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 Sweet potato, sliced lengthwise approx. 1/4 inch thick
- 2 Eggs (fried or poached)
- 1 Ripe avocado, halved and pitted
- 1 tsp Everything bagel seasoning
- Pinch of red pepper flakes
- 1 tsp Lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet to prevent sticking.
- Bake Sweet Potato: Arrange the sweet potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10–15 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until the slices are tender and slightly crispy on the edges.
- Prepare Avocado Mash: While the sweet potatoes bake, scoop the avocado flesh into a bowl. Add lemon juice, salt, and pepper, then mash until smooth and creamy.
- Cook Eggs: In a non-stick skillet, cook the eggs to your preference, either fried or poached, ensuring the yolks remain runny or cooked through as desired.
- Cool Sweet Potato Slices: Once baked, remove the sweet potato slices from the oven and allow them to cool slightly for easier handling.
- Assemble Toasts: Spread the mashed avocado evenly over each sweet potato slice.
- Top with Eggs: Place the cooked eggs on top of the avocado-covered sweet potato slices.
- Season: Sprinkle everything bagel seasoning and a pinch of red pepper flakes over the assembled toasts for added flavor and a touch of heat.
- Serve: Serve the sweet potato toasts warm, optionally garnished with extra herbs or seasoning to taste.
Notes
- You can substitute frying the eggs with poaching for a lighter option.
- Adjust red pepper flakes amount based on preferred spice level.
- Sweet potato slices can be made thicker or thinner, but 1/4 inch ensures crispiness and tenderness balance.
- For extra protein, add smoked salmon or a sprinkle of feta cheese if not keeping strictly vegetarian.
- Store leftover baked sweet potato slices in an airtight container and reheat in oven or air fryer for best texture.
