Sweet potato “toast” – spreading your favorite toast toppings over toasted sweet potato instead of bread! Not only does the sweet potato add a nice subtle sweetness without overpowering the toppings you choose, but they are a great option if you’re gluten free or want a little more fiber in your diet. Another big advantage of using sweet potatoes as a bread substitute is the added nutrition you get! Sweet potatoes, like carrots and other orange colored fruits and vegetables, contain beta-carotene that gets converted into vitamin A in our body. Vitamin A is important for hair, skin, nails, vision, and plays a key role in immune function. Combine them with superfood toppings, protein, and a healthy fat and you have a seriously nutrient packed and delicious meal or snack!
