Crispy Sweet Potato Toast with Toppings

Slice the large sweet potato lengthwise down the middle using a sharp knife.

Carefully create 4-5 thin slices, each about 1/4-inch thick, from the middle of the sweet potato. You can choose to keep or discard the skin.

Spray the sweet potato slices evenly with cooking spray and season with salt and pepper.

For toaster method: Insert slices into the toaster similar to bread and toast them on high. After the sweet potatoes pop up from the toaster, check if they are fork-tender. Toast longer or adjust the toaster setting to medium if necessary. Remove the sweet potatoes from the toaster and place them on a wire rack to cool before adding desired toppings.

For oven method: Preheat the oven to 350℉, and place a wire rack on a large rimmed baking sheet. Bake the seasoned sweet potato slices for 15-20 minutes, until they are fork-tender, but not fully cooked or soft. Remove the sweet potato slices from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack before adding your favorite toppings.
