Ingredients
  

2 medium-sized sweet potatoes

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and black pepper to taste

Assorted toppings of your choice (e.g., smashed avocado, ricotta cheese, smoked salmon, almond butter, sliced bananas, or fresh herbs)

Instructions
 

Prep the Sweet Potatoes: Begin by thoroughly washing the sweet potatoes under cool running water to eliminate any dirt. Using a clean kitchen towel, gently pat them dry. Cut off the ends, then slice each sweet potato lengthwise into even slices, aiming for a thickness of about ½ inch.

    Season the Slices: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweet potato slices with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together until each slice is evenly coated with the seasoning.

      Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to preheat at 375°F (190°C) for approximately 5 minutes. This step is crucial for achieving a perfectly crispy texture on your toast.

        Arrange in the Air Fryer: Carefully place the seasoned sweet potato slices into the air fryer basket, ensuring they are laid in a single layer without overlapping. Depending on the capacity of your air fryer, you may need to cook in batches to avoid overcrowding.

          Air Fry: Cook the sweet potato slices in the air fryer for 12-15 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking process. Watch for them to turn golden brown and crispy around the edges.

            Check for Doneness: After the initial cooking time, check if the slices are tender by piercing them with a fork. If they need further cooking, you can air fry them for an additional 2-3 minutes.

              Serve with Toppings: Once cooked to perfection, carefully remove the sweet potato toast from the air fryer and allow them to cool for a minute. Top each slice with your chosen toppings to create a delightful combination.

                Garnish and Enjoy: For a finishing touch, sprinkle fresh herbs or a pinch of sea salt on top before serving. Enjoy your Sweet Potato Toast Delight warm, as a wholesome meal or delicious snack!
