Delicious and healthy sweet potato toast ideas you can enjoy for school lunch or a quick breakfast.

5 different variation of sweet potato toasts: peanut butter and jelly, peanut butter and banana, avocado with fried eggs, avocado with pico de gallo, and cottage cheese with fresh berries.

Sweet potatoes are a nutrient-dense ingredient I often use in roasted vegetables or potato salad. Today they get recreated in a tasty, grain-free version of toast that you can top with all your favorite ingredients.

Sweet Potato Toast Ideas

While sweet potato toasts don’t taste like bread, they make a delicious and healthy base for any toppings and spreads you’d use on regular bread. It’s a clean eating recipe at its best and here are a few ideas to get you started and packing them for lunch!

Peanut Butter & Jelly
Spread your favorite nut butter or nut-free butter on the toasted sweet potato and top it with a little jelly or marmalade.

Avocado & Egg Breakfast “Toast”
Mash avocado and spread it over your toasted sweet potato, sprinkle a little coarse salt, and then top it with a fried egg.

Protein & Berries
Top with some cottage or ricotta cheese and sliced berries or jam. It’s creamy, savory, and sweet all in one bite!

Sweet Cinnamon Roll
Sprinkle a dash of cinnamon over the toasts, spread with your favorite nut butter or nut-free butter, and top with banana slices and a drizzle of honey.

Fiesta Avocado Toast
Mashed avocado and a generous helping of pico de gallo or salsa. Its zesty, tangy flavor is irresistible.

Watch how all these ideas come together in this video.

Super easy, right? You can top and serve these any way you’d like without missing the grains!

How to Pack Sweet Potato Toast for Lunch

I’ll admit these aren’t your typical lunch recipe, but that doesn’t mean they can’t become a favorite. I recommend using a compartmentalized lunch container to keep the toast in tact. Out of the recipes above the peanut butter and jelly or cinnamon roll, sweet potato toasts pack the best.

How to Make Sweet Potato Toast

A good place to start is by washing and scrubbing the sweet potato clean. From there, it’s as simple as using a good kitchen knife and cutting the potato into ¼-inch thick slices. Toast them until golden brown and fork-tender.

You can watch how to make perfect sweet potato toasts in this video:

You can also prep these toasts ahead of time. Prepare them as directed and refrigerate for up to 5 days or until you’re ready to eat. Give them a quick toast then top to your heart’s content.

    If you don’t have a toaster oven can you make in oven and how?

      Yes, slice them as directed and place them onto a lined baking sheet. Drizzle with olive and bake for 30 minutes at 400F, until the sweet potato slices are tender and slightly toasted.
