Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large sweet potato
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes
- 6 leaves fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon date paste
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and scrub the sweet potato, then slice it lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick slices to resemble toast.
Brush both sides of the sweet potato slices with olive oil and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the sweet potato slices in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they're tender but still hold their shape.
While the sweet potatoes are baking, prepare the balsamic glaze. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine balsamic vinegar and date paste. Stir until the paste dissolves, then simmer for 3-5 minutes until the mixture reduces and thickens slightly.
Slice the cherry or grape tomatoes in half, and roughly tear or chop the basil leaves.
Once the sweet potato 'toast' is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly.
Top each slice with halved tomatoes, fresh basil, a drizzle of the balsamic glaze, and a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste.
Serve immediately and enjoy this Whole30-friendly twist on a classic toast!
