Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 Sweet potato, sliced lengthwise about 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 prepare for baking the sweet potato slices.
- Bake Sweet Potatoes: Arrange sweet potato slices in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake for 10–15 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they become tender with slightly crispy edges.
- Prepare Avocado Spread: While the sweet potatoes bake, scoop out the avocado flesh into a bowl. Add lemon juice, salt, and pepper, then mash until smooth to create a creamy spread.
- Cook Eggs: Using a non-stick skillet, cook the eggs according to your preference—fried or poached eggs work best for this recipe.
- Cool Sweet Potato Toast: Remove the baked sweet potato slices from the oven and allow them to cool slightly to make spreading easier.
- Assemble Toast: Spread the mashed avocado evenly over each sweet potato slice, creating a base layer of creamy texture.
- Add Egg and Seasoning: Place the cooked eggs on top of each avocado-covered sweet potato slice, then sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning and a pinch of red pepper flakes for extra flavor and a hint of heat.
- Serve: Serve the sweet potato avocado egg toasts warm, optionally garnished with additional seasoning or fresh herbs to enhance the presentation and taste.
Notes
- Sweet potato slices should be about 1/4 inch thick to ensure they cook evenly and achieve a crispy texture.
- Baking time may vary slightly depending on the thickness of sweet potato slices and your oven’s heat distribution.
- Fried or poached eggs work best, but you can also scramble or soft boil eggs if preferred.
- Everything bagel seasoning adds savory crunch and flavor; feel free to adjust the amount to taste.
- For extra crispiness, broil the sweet potato slices for 1–2 minutes after baking, watching closely to prevent burning.
- This recipe is naturally gluten-free and vegetarian, making it suitable for those dietary preferences.
