Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Alternatively, prep your toaster oven on high.
2. Slice sweet potato lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick slices. Thinner slices toast up crispier, while thicker ones will be softer and more “bread-like.”
3. For oven: Arrange slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush lightly with olive oil if desired and sprinkle with sea salt. Roast for 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and just tender.
4. For toaster: Insert slices into toaster slots (like bread) and toast on high, repeating cycles if needed (typically 2–3 rounds) until slices are fork-tender and edges are golden.
5. Remove the sweet potato slices and let them cool slightly. Top with your favorite savory or sweet spreads and toppings. Enjoy immediately for the best texture!
