Loaded Sweet Potato Avocado Toast

I know – avocado toast is SO over, and even if it weren’t, you don’t need a recipe for it. This trend might be on it’s way out, but you’ll still find me (and pretty much everyone else on Instagram) happily smashing & snapping away.

I usually keep mine simple – avocado, lemon, salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of hemp seeds. It’s a perfect combo that doesn’t need to be messed with, but since this was “dinner toast” for us one night last week, I thought I’d get a little fancier with the toppings. (Also, Jack is still claiming that he doesn’t like avocado, but if I hide it a little, no complaints).

Loaded Sweet Potato Avocado Toast ingredients

This chart of ingredients looks a little fussy, but most of these are pantry staples and items that I happened to have on hand. For example, the adobo sauce (our favorite addition here) comes from a leftover can of chipotles that I had previously opened for this chili recipe. So feel free to use and re-use whatever you like. Send me your winning combos and, together, let’s keep this trend alive!

    Was wondering why adobo sauce is red?

    this looks SO good. will have to recreate soon! eatdrinkdishrepeat.com

  6. What a keen idea! It’s quick. Something different than a sandwich. Also can use left over sweet potatoes. Bingo—it takes good too.

  7. This toast recipe looks filling and delicious! I have to make it a.s.a.p. Happy Wednesday 🙂

  8. I have something a little embarrassing to admit. I’ve never had avocado toast. (I wish I had the ability to type that in a very small font so it was like typing a whisper.) The truth is that I don’t have a good explanation for it. I love toast, I love avocado, and I love food trends, but maybe I’ll just jump on it soon and pretend like avocado toast and me were always best friends.

  9. You’ve elevated toast to a whole new level for me and I’m loving the combo of sweet potato and avocado. Now why haven’t I combined those too?

  10. I love all things on toast – especially if it combines avocado and sweet potatoes. YUM. Pinning this and hopefully trying it soon! 🙂

  11. I am so not over avocado toast!!! Top it with an egg or these potatoes or just simply with CRP flakes and lemon zest, any way I am in!!! Hemp seeds? Worth a try?
