Cook time: 20 minutes
Serves: 2

Ingredients

1. Sweet Potato, sliced into ½-inch planks: Sweet potatoes are starchy root vegetables with a naturally sweet flavor and a creamy texture when cooked. Slicing them into ½-inch planks creates flat, uniform pieces that are perfect for roasting or toasting. They're packed with vitamins, minerals, and fiber, making them a nutritious choice for any meal. When sliced and cooked, sweet potato planks develop a crispy exterior while maintaining a soft and tender interior, offering a delightful contrast in texture.
2. Coconut Oil: Coconut oil is a versatile cooking oil derived from the flesh of mature coconuts. It has a mild, pleasant coconut flavor and a high smoke point, making it suitable for various cooking methods, including frying, baking, and sautéing. Coconut oil is prized for its health benefits, as it contains medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), which are believed to promote heart health and aid in weight loss. When used to cook sweet potato planks, coconut oil adds a subtle hint of coconut flavor and helps enhance their crispiness.
3. Sea Salt to taste: Sea salt is a natural, unrefined salt obtained by evaporating seawater. It contains trace minerals that add complexity to its flavor profile. Adding sea salt to taste enhances the natural sweetness of sweet potato planks and balances out the flavors in dishes. Sprinkling sea salt over the sweet potato planks before or after cooking adds a savory touch and brings out their delicious flavor.

Sweet and/or savory toppings of choice such as peanut butter and banana, Greek yogurt, hummus with veggies, avocado, Nutella, and berries, the choices are endless

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400° F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper for easy clean up.

Lightly grease the sweet potato planks with coconut oil and season to taste with salt.

Place the sweet potato slices in the oven and bake until fork-tender and slightly browned around the edges, approximately 16-20 minutes.

Remove the sweet potato toasts from the oven and allow to cool for a couple of minutes before topping with your sweet or savory toppings of choice.
