Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium sweet potato (firm, no soft spots)
- Almond butter, about 1 tablespoon per slice
- 1 ripe but firm banana, sliced
- Optional: cinnamon for sprinkling
- Optional: honey or maple syrup for drizzling
- Optional: pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Wash and dry the sweet potato. Peel if preferred, but skin adds texture and crisps well.
- Slice the sweet potato lengthwise into 1/4 inch (6 mm) thick slices.
- Optionally, lightly season the slices with a pinch of sea salt or cinnamon.
- Toast the slices in a toaster or toaster oven on medium-high for 4-6 minutes per side until edges are golden and crisp. Toast twice if needed for maximum crunch.
- While toasting, slice the banana into thin rounds and measure almond butter.
- Spread about 1 tablespoon of almond butter on each toasted sweet potato slice.
- Top with banana slices evenly.
- Optionally drizzle with honey or maple syrup and sprinkle cinnamon.
- Serve immediately while warm and crispy.
Notes
For extra crispiness, let toasted slices cool on a wire rack before adding toppings. If toaster struggles with thick slices, pre-bake at 400°F (200°C) for 10 minutes then toast. Store toasted slices separately from toppings to avoid sogginess. Reheat in toaster oven for best texture.
