Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
Servings: 4
Skill Level: Beginner
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 2 ripe avocados
- 200g smoked salmon
- 1 lemon
- Fresh dill, for garnish
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash and slice the sweet potatoes lengthwise into approximately 1/4-inch thick slices.
- Place the sweet potato slices on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until the slices are tender and slightly crispy around the edges.
- While the sweet potatoes are baking, cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash with a fork until smooth and creamy. Add a little salt and a squeeze of lemon juice to taste.
- Once the sweet potatoes are ready, let them cool slightly. Spread a generous layer of mashed avocado on each slice.
- Top with pieces of smoked salmon, arranging them beautifully on the avocado layer.
- Garnish with fresh dill and lemon slices. Serve immediately and enjoy!
If you’re new to baking sweet potatoes, keep an eye out during those last few minutes to prevent overcooking. For an extra kick, try adding a sprinkle of red pepper flakes to the avocado mash.
The assembled toasts are best enjoyed fresh. However, you can store any leftover sweet potato slices in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Simply reheat and top with fresh avocado and salmon when ready to eat.
If you don’t have sweet potatoes, you can use regular potatoes, or thick slices of your favorite whole-grain bread. Substitute lime for lemon for a different citrus flavor, and try using fresh chives or parsley if dill isn’t available.
This delightful toast pairs perfectly with a light salad and a tall glass of iced tea or a crisp, refreshing white wine. For a breakfast spread, serve it alongside a bowl of fresh fruit and some yoghurt with honey.
