This Sweet Potato Avocado Toast is the perfect way to switch up your breakfast routine. Keep it savory with veggies or add fruit for a sweet treat.
I’m a huge fan of incorporating avocados into my breakfast when I can. I decided to switch up my normal avocado toast with bread by swapping out bread for a sweet potato instead!
I’m very mindful of food waste. Sometimes it can get really hard, especially with produce! This is a great clean out the fridge meal because you can truly add just about any fresh veggies or fruit and it will make an amazing meal.
My day is always off to a much better start when I fill up on a nourishing breakfast. Avocados are loaded with nutrients and are great for heart health. They will also leave you feeling full! This is a huge win for me.
What Type of Avocados to use
Fresh avocados are important! I like to use locally grown.
How to Pick out an Avocado
Avocados are delicate. You can check to see if the fruit is ripe by giving it a quick light squeeze in the palm of your hand, but you shouldn’t press too firmly. Doing so can bruise the green interior you will ultimately eat.
While you’re in the store, you can test pressing down lightly on the top of the avocado near the stem. If it gives easily and retains its shape, the avocado is ready to eat. If your finger leaves a dent, the avocado is likely overripe and could be brown inside. Ripe and ready-to-eat fruit will be firm but will yield to gentle pressure.
Once purchased, I store my avocados in the fridge. This will keep them fresh longer.
How to Pick out a Sweet Potato
I like to look for sweet potatoes that are thick and long. That will make for really nice slices, that will resemble toast.
Do You Have to Peel the Sweet Potato? Can You Eat the Skin?
According to Healthline, it’s actually healthier to keep the sweet potato skin on. The skin on sweet potato is safe to eat. The skin is rich in fiber, other nutrients, and antioxidants that can help support a healthy gut, increase feelings of fullness, and prevent chronic disease.
