Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large sweet potato
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 large ripe avocado
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and peel the sweet potato, then slice it lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick slices. You should aim for 2-3 slices per sweet potato, enough for two servings.
Place the sweet potato slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Brush both sides of each slice with olive oil using a brush.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway, until the sweet potato slices are tender and edges are slightly browned.
While the sweet potato is baking, cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl.
Add nutritional yeast, lemon juice, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper to the avocado. Mash everything together until smooth and creamy.
Once the sweet potato 'toasts' are done baking, remove them from the oven and let cool for a minute.
Spread the avocado mixture evenly over each slice of baked sweet potato.
Sprinkle red pepper flakes over the avocado spread for an added kick.
Garnish each 'toast' with freshly chopped cilantro.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Whole30-friendly avocado and nutritional yeast toast!
