Method

Method for making the “Toast”

1

Use a large sharp knife to slice the sweet potatoes lengthwise, or alternatively make use of a mandolin. Aim to cut the sweet potatoes into 1/4-1/3 inch slices. Avoid slicing them too thin as they will loose their shape and if they are too thick they will not cook as fast in the toaster.

2

Lightly spray the slices of sweet potato with cooking spray or gently rub olive oil, by slightly dabbing the excess oil off with a paper towel.

3

Each toaster is different, therefore aim to toast these slices on a medium heat until tender but not too soft. Allow to cool on a airing rack not a plate as they will get soggy.

4

The ratios for the below will allow you to spread 2 of each flavor.

T+J Sweet Potato toast

5

Start by spreading the strawberry jam, followed by a drizzle of tahini paste, sprinkle some crushed almonds and finally drizzle with honey.

Nectarine Vanilla Spice Toast

6

Combine the yoghurt, vanilla bean paste and cinnamon along with the honey. Mix well, spread the sweet potato toast, add some persimmon slices, crushed almonds and a little extra honey.

Pesto Egg Toast

7

Spread the toast with the pesto, place your fried egg on top. Sprinkle with salt and some olive oil.

Avocado Sun-Dried Tomato Toast

8

Optional, to layer the toast with sliced avocado, sun-dried tomatoes drizzle lemon juice and sprinkle some salt and pepper, optional you can combine all the ingredients into a food processor for a few seconds creating a smashed avocado topping.

Strawberry Cream Cheese Toast

9

Combine the cream cheese or cottage cheese with honey. Mix well and spread on top of the toast. Add some fresh slices of strawberry. Optional you can even sprinkle a few mint leaves on top.
