5 Sweet Potato Toast Lunches
Ingredients
Peanut Butter Banana Sweet Potato Toast
- 1 medium sweet potato, sliced into ¼-inch thick slices
- ¼ cup peanut butter or almond butter
- 1 banana, sliced
Instructions
- Cut the ends off of the sweet potato. Slice it lengthwise into ¼-inch thick slices so that you have 4 slices.
- Place slices into a toaster. Toast on high for 2-3 times until the outsides are lightly browned and the inside is cooked through. Repeat with the other two slices.
- Spread 1 tablespoon onto each slice. Top with banana slices; close to form two sandwiches.
