Before You Start
Heat the oven or toaster oven to 425°F, scrub the sweet potato, and set out the avocado, lemon, and pumpkin seeds so you can build the toast the second the planks come out hot.
How To Make It
- Slice the sweet potato lengthwise into thick planks about a quarter inch wide so they cook through without falling apart.
- Lay the planks on a tray and bake at 425°F, 18 to 22 minutes, flipping once, until they are tender in the middle and the edges look lightly crisp.
- Meanwhile, mash the avocado with the lemon juice and a pinch of salt until it is creamy with just a few small lumps.
- Spread the mashed avocado over the hot planks so it softens into them.
- Scatter the pumpkin seeds and chili flakes over the top and serve right away.
Fix It: If the planks come out floppy in the middle, they were cut too thick or pulled too soon; give them another 5 minutes until a fork slides in easily.
Air Fryer
- Heat the air fryer to 380F.
- Add the ingredients you would cook on the stove or in the oven in a single layer, without crowding the basket.
- Cook for about 20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway, until cooked through and lightly crisp.
- Let it rest a minute, then finish and plate the dish as written in the steps above.
