Sweet Potato Toast

These rich little babies are fantastic, especially if you’re grain free!  Sweet Potato Toast are simply slices of sweet potatoes with lots of good stuff on top (or between).  They’re a great way to get more produce in your diet.  I’m doing ‘7 Day Healthy Cleanse’ and have challenged myself to eat as many produce a day as I can till I’m filled up.  Sweet potatoes really do fill a person up quickly.  I made some vegan dips and mayos to spread on top and stick some crispy veggies into.  I roast mine on my NewWave; some people cook them in the toaster.  They only take a few minutes to cut with a knife, slicer or a food processor.  Hope you have fun with these!

 

Ingredients

produce

sweet potato

condiment

olive oil

favorite spices (I use my Ranch Dressing Mix)

Instructions

  1.  Wash Sweet Potatoes
  2.   Cut them.
  3.   Put them in a bowl (that has a lid) and drizzle oil & spices on top.
  4.   Put on the lid and shake them up!
  5.   Roast them in the oven @ 350 for 25 min till browned.  Flip them over and roast another 20 min.    -or-   Roast them in the New Wave for 15 min; flip them and roast another 12-15 min till browned. 
  6.   Top with your favorite dips or sauces.

I topped some with my Avocado Parsnip Mayo – vegan (dairy free, egg free), GF, nut free  and others with Vegan Cheese Sauce – nut and oil free.
The purple sweet potatoes have a more uniform, cylindrical shape.
I topped with my Garlic Chive Cream Cheese – dairy free, high protein deliciousness!

Avocado Parsnip Mayo – vegan (dairy free, egg free), GF, nut free

Mayo: avocado | parsnip

Mayo makes nearly everything taste better! Since I’m dairy free, gluten free and pro produce, this blend is perfect for me! For variety, I swap out different spice combos. I use this as a dip for veggies, a spread for sandwiches, a sauce for noodles or a dressing for salads.

Why Parsnips & Avocado?

Parsnips are packed with fiber and many nutrients (like mood raising folate, immune boosting vitamin C and stress relieving potassium).  Avocado is also incredibly nutritious!  Avocado’s creamy richness can lower cholesterol and triglycerides while moisturizing the skin & boosting brain power.  I hope you love this as much as I do.

ingredients

produce

avocado, peeled with pit removed, 1

lemon juice, 1 tsp (or apple cider vinegar)

parsnip, steamed & processed, 1 cup

green onions, 1/8 cup

bell pepper, orange, 1/4 cup

condiment

mustard, 1 TBS

seasoning

cayenne pepper

garlic powder, 1/2 tsp

pepper, black, 1/2 tsp

salt, 1 tsp (omit if doing the ‘7 Day Healthy Cleanse‘)

 

instructions

  1.  Dice bell peppers & green onions.  Set aside.
  2.  Remove avocado pit and peel.
  3.  Steam parsnips.
  4.  Blend all ingredients (except bell peppers & green onions) at medium speed until mixed well.
  5.   Stir in bell peppers & green onions.

notes

*I love swapping in my Ranch Dressing Mix  for the seasonings in this great mayo.
