# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • It works for any meal and you can top it with whatever is already in your fridge.
  • The sweet potato base holds up under weight without getting soggy like regular toast sometimes does.
  • You get that satisfying crunch on the outside and creamy texture inside without any gluten or grains.
  • Prep is simple enough for a weekday but impressive enough to serve to guests who think youre fancy.
02 -
  • If your slices are thicker than 1/4 inch, they will take longer to roast and might stay too soft in the center.
  • Flipping them halfway is not optional, the bottom side will steam and stay pale if you skip this step.
  • Do not add wet toppings like tomatoes or honey until after roasting or they will make the sweet potato soggy.
  • If you want extra crispness, pop the roasted slices in a toaster for a minute before topping.
03 -
  • Use a mandoline slicer if you have one to get perfectly even slices every time.
  • Brush the baking sheet with a little oil too so the slices lift off easily without sticking.
  • Try rubbing the raw slices with garlic or smoked paprika before roasting for extra flavor.
  • If you are serving these at a party, set out small bowls of toppings and let people build their own.
