Avocado toast is a classic healthy breakfast but if you want to try something new or level up your basic breakfast, you have to try making Sweet Potato Avocado Toast. The key is to use baked sweet potato slices instead of bread. This is a delicious gluten-free alternative to bread and packs in a ton of vitamin A. Another great bread-alternative is my Seedy Bread or Homemade Vegan Gluten-Free Bread! I’m so excited to have collaborated with Poosh on this recipe!

Notes on Ingredients
- Sweet potato: This is the base of this naturally gluten-free avocado toast. Use a whole sweet potato and cut it into ½ inch thick slices.
- Avocado: Make sure your avocado is ripe or use pre-mashed avocado to save time.
- Cucumber: Adds crunch to the toast but feel free to add whatever veggie you like. I also love adding sliced tomatoes and sprouts to my toast!

Commonly Asked Questions
You can let the sweet potato toast slices cool before you top them or leave them warm! It’s totally up to you. I usually let mine cool for 10-15 minutes before topping so they’re warm but not hot.
Yes! Freeze the slices in individual baggies and when you’re ready to eat, reheat them in the oven, toaster, or microwave.

What is the best way to store the sweet potato crisps?
Taylor From HealthyGirl Kitchen says
It is best to eat them fresh, but if you need to store them, use an air-tight container and add a little lemon juice to the avocado to keep it from browning.

What is the best way to store the sweet potato toast, an air tight container on the counter or in the refrigerator?
Taylor says
Hi! Taylor from team HealthyGirl here!
If it has all of the toppings on it, it is best to eat it once made. If you need to store it, put it in an airtight container, and add a little lemon juice to the avocado to keep it from browning.

This looks delicious and I’m ready to try!! So…I want to do some meal prep and bake the sweet potato slices and keep them in the fridge to toast in the toaster at work. Do they get so soft that they fall apart? I don’t want that mess in my toaster!! I can’t wait to try with the infinite choices to enjoy with the toast!! Thanks for sharing!
Jordan Stacy says
Hi Ilene! Jordan from the HealthyGirl team here. The sweet potato toast slices should not fall apart in the toaster. I would recommend slicing them a bit thicker (at least 1/2 an inch) so they are sturdy enough! Otherwise, if you’re packing these for work, it may be easier to reheat them in a microwave, add toppings, and then eat with a fork (or pick up as toast). Hope this helps!

SUCH a great hack for when you want toast but don’t want to use traditional bread! I am grain-free and it’s really difficult/expensive to find a grain-free bread that I enjoy so this has been the perfect solution.
