Ingredients
Scale
Sweet Potato Base
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Pinch of salt & pepper
Toppings
- 2 avocados
- 4 radishes, thinly sliced
- 10 to 15 raspberries, crushed
- Optional: microgreens and edible flowers
Instructions
- Heat the skillet: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat to prepare for cooking the sweet potato slices evenly.
- Prepare sweet potatoes: Slice the sweet potatoes into 1/4 inch thick pieces. In a large bowl, combine a tablespoon of olive oil with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, then toss the sweet potato slices to coat them evenly with the seasoning mixture.
- Cook sweet potatoes: Place the sweet potato slices in the hot skillet and cook for about ten minutes on each side, or until they become nicely browned and tender inside.
- Mash avocado: While the sweet potatoes cook, mash the avocados with a fork until smooth and creamy, ready to spread.
- Assemble the toast: Spread the mashed avocado generously between the cooked sweet potato slices. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper and drizzle the remaining olive oil over the top.
- Add toppings: Finish by topping with thinly sliced radishes, crushed raspberries, and optionally, microgreens and edible flowers for added color and flavor.
Notes
- Sweet potatoes can alternatively be roasted in the oven at 425°F (220°C) for about 20 minutes if you prefer.
- For a vegan version, this recipe is already suitable as is.
- Add a splash of lemon juice to the mashed avocado to prevent browning and add brightness.
- Adjust salt and pepper to taste depending on your preference.
- Microgreens and edible flowers are optional but add great texture and visual appeal.
