This Easy Sweet Potato Toast recipe is a simple, healthy twist on traditional toast, using thinly sliced baked yam as the base and topped with naturally sweet mashed banana and a touch of cinnamon, perfect for a quick breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • ½ of a yam (about 150 grams)
  • 1 ripe banana
  • A pinch of cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius) to prepare it for baking the sweet potato slices.
  2. Slice the Yam: Cut the yam in half lengthwise, then carefully slice each half into thin slices approximately ¼ inch thick using a sharp knife to ensure even baking.
  3. Bake the Yam Slices: Arrange the yam slices on a baking tray in a single layer and bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until the slices are soft and cooked through.
  4. Mash the Banana: While the yam is baking, peel and mash the ripe banana in a small bowl until smooth and creamy.
  5. Assemble the Toast: Once the yam slices are done baking and slightly cooled, spread the mashed banana evenly on top of each slice. Finish by sprinkling a pinch of cinnamon over the banana for added flavor.

Notes

  • You can substitute the yam with sweet potato if preferred.
  • For extra flavor, try adding a drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of chopped nuts on top.
  • This recipe is naturally gluten-free and vegan.
  • Be sure to slice the yam evenly for consistent cooking.
  • Allow yam slices to cool slightly before topping to prevent the banana from becoming too soft.
