Breadless Toast: Madness, Genius or Just Plain Deliciousness?

Today’s kitchen creation is being served with a confession on the side.

I’m not a bread person.

Did you even know that’s a thing? To not like bread? My secret shame. Nope, can’t even order avocado toast for Sunday Brunch despite my all-consuming avoddiction (P.S. that word DOES exist. Look it up).

But *insert sigh of relief* order is now restored to the galaxy because I’ve discovered a breadless alternative—sweet potato toast. A.K.A. the latest foodie trend currently taking over my life. Forreal.

And if plant-based + gluten-free + downright delectable sounds like the ultimate jam, then prepare for a takeover on your life too.

I rest my case. Times three, in fact. Because you’re about to experience…

Just grab a sweet potato, then go culinary crazy with all the fixings. And here’s some inspo to get those creative juices (not to mention, appetite!) flowing.

 Preparation:

1. Cut the Potato into 3 slices about, 1/4-inch thick, leaving the skin on.
2. Put each slice in a toaster and cook for 5 minutes, or until the texture becomes pliable but still firm.
3. Drain and rinse the Chickpeas, then transfer 1/2 into a food processor.
4. Add the Lemon and 1 tbsp. Olive Oil, then puree this mixture until a hummus consistency forms.
5. Place the remaining Chickpeas on a foil-lined baking sheet and pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees.
6. Drizzle them with 1 tbsp. Olive Oil, Cumin and Paprika, then cook in the oven for 10 minutes, or until the Chickpeas become crispy.
7. Spread the hummus over the first Potato slice and top with the roasted Chickpeas to make savory toast.
8. Chop the Almonds coarsely and slice the Apple, then spread Almond Butter over the second Potato slice.
9. Top with the Apples, Almonds and Cinnamon to make sweet toast.
10. Mash the Avocado until a guacamole consistency forms and spread over the third Potato slice.
11. Top with the Spinach and Sea Salt, then drizzle on Sriracha to make spicy toast.

Seriously…moment of silent introspection for these wondrous little tubers.

Alright, moment over. Girl’s gotta eat!
