📝 Ingredients (Serves 2)
This recipe keeps it simple, wholesome, and satisfying.
- 1 large sweet potato
- 1 small apple, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp almond butter
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- Optional: crushed walnuts, hemp seeds, or a drizzle of maple syrup
🔄 Substitution Tip: No almond butter? Use peanut butter, cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter for a nut-free option.
🔥 Instructions
1. Slice & Toast the Sweet Potato
Cut your sweet potato lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick slices. Keep the skin on for added fiber, or peel it off for a smoother texture.
- Toaster method: Toast each slice 3 times until soft in the middle and slightly crisp outside.
- Oven method: Bake slices at 400°F (200°C) for 20 minutes, flipping halfway.
🧊 Make-Ahead Hack: Roast a whole batch and refrigerate. Just reheat slices when you’re ready to eat!
2. Sauté the Apples
While the sweet potatoes are cooking:
- In a small skillet, add the thinly sliced apple, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Sauté over medium heat for 3–5 minutes, until the apples are soft and fragrant.
3. Assemble Your Toast
- Spread 1 tbsp almond butter on each sweet potato slice.
- Top with warm cinnamon apples.
- Sprinkle with crushed nuts, hemp seeds, or a drizzle of maple syrup if desired.
