Sweet Potato Avocado Toast with Fresh Tomato

Prep Time: 10 minutes | Cook Time: 20 minutes | Servings: 2

Introduction

Sweet potato avocado toast is a vibrant, nutrient-packed twist on the classic breakfast favorite. Instead of bread, roasted sweet potato slices create a naturally gluten-free base that’s slightly crisp on the outside and tender inside. Creamy mashed avocado, juicy fresh tomato, and a touch of lime bring balance and brightness to every bite. It’s simple, wholesome, and perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a light lunch. For best results, slice the sweet potatoes evenly (about ¼ inch / 6 mm thick) so they roast uniformly and hold their shape beautifully.
