Description
Toasted sweet potato crostinis for appetizers, snacks or a flavorful sweet or savory bite.
Ingredients
Sweet potato crostinis:
1 medium sweet potato (makes about 6 slices)
Soft boiled egg and burrata crostini:
2 sweet potato crostinis
2 oz burrata
1 medium-boiled egg
2 teaspoons “everything but the bagel” seasoning
pinch of salt
PB & J crostini:
2 sweet potato crostinis
2 tablespoons creamy almond or peanut butter
2 tablespoons chunky jam (blackberry is my favorite)
optional: ¼ cup fresh berries or granola
Instructions
Sweet potato crostinis:
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Chop top and end off sweet potato. Slice in half lengthwise, then slice each half into 4 slices discarding the fully skinned side piece on each half.
- Place a piece of parchment paper on a baking tray and place sweet potato slices on paper. You can drizzle with olive oil but I like to roast them dry to make them crunchier and resemble toast.
- Bake for 15 minutes then flip the toasts.
- Bake for 10-15 more minutes until you can pierce with a fork. Make sure they or not overcooked, if they are too soft they will not resemble toast nor be sturdy enough to hold all of our toppings!
Soft boiled egg and burrata crostini:
- Spread half the burrata on each piece of toast.
- Cut egg into four segments and place two on each toast.
- Sprinkle with sea salt and the bagel seasoning.
PB & J crostini:
- Spread nut butter on toast.
- Spread jam on top of nut butter and swirl together slightly.
- Top each toast with fresh berries or a sprinkle or granola.
Notes
If the sweet potato crisps are cut too thick they will not crsip up when baked.
