Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 medium sweet potato
- 1/2 cup mixed berries
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- Pinch of cinnamon
Instructions
- Wash the sweet potato thoroughly and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
- Cut the sweet potato lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick slices, ensuring they are even and not too thick or thin for even toasting.
- If using a toaster, place sweet potato slices in the toaster and toast on high setting, checking and rotating slices every 2-3 minutes until edges are crispy and center is soft and cooked through.
- Alternatively, if using an oven, preheat to 425°F (218°C) and place sweet potato slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through for even cooking.
- While sweet potato is toasting, rinse mixed berries and pat dry gently with paper towel.
- In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt with honey and stir until well combined.
- Once sweet potato toast is done, let it cool for 1-2 minutes to prevent burning.
- Spread the honey-yogurt mixture evenly across each sweet potato slice.
- Top with mixed berries, sprinkle chia seeds, and dust lightly with cinnamon.
- Serve immediately while sweet potato is still warm and enjoy your nutritious breakfast or snack.
Tips
- Choose the Right Sweet Potato: Look for firm, smooth-skinned sweet potatoes without any blemishes. A medium-sized one will yield the perfect amount for two servings.
- Cut Uniformly: When slicing the sweet potato, aim for 1/4-inch thick slices to ensure even cooking. This will help achieve that perfect crispy edge while keeping the center soft.
- Toasting Techniques: If you're using a toaster, keep a close eye on the slices and rotate them every few minutes to avoid burning. If you prefer the oven, preheat it properly for the best results.
- Berry Bliss: Feel free to mix and match your favorite berries! Strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries all work wonderfully and add a pop of color and flavor.
- Customize Your Toppings: Experiment with different toppings like sliced bananas, nuts, or a drizzle of nut butter for added flavor and nutrition.
- Serve Warm: This dish is best enjoyed fresh out of the toaster or oven while the sweet potato is still warm. The contrast of warm toast and cold berries creates a delightful experience.
- Meal Prep: You can prep the sweet potato slices in advance and store them in the refrigerator. Just toast them when you're ready to enjoy!
