Frequently Asked Questions
How do I prevent my sweet potato toast from getting soggy when I add chocolate toppings?
Since the sweet potato toast takes about 10 minutes of toasting to become tender, ensure the slices are very firm before topping. For chocolate toppings like chocolate chips, briefly melt them separately and then drizzle, or use a thicker spread like the chocolate peanut butter listed in the recipe to create a barrier against moisture.
Can I make this High Protein Sweet Potato Toast ahead of time, especially the chocolate versions?
While the base sweet potato toast can be pre-toasted, it's best served immediately as it can dry out. If prepping ahead, store the toasted slices in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a day and re-toast them briefly before adding the chocolate peanut butter or chocolate chips to maintain the best texture.
What is the best method for ensuring my sweet potato slices cook evenly in the toaster?
For this medium-difficulty recipe, the key is slicing the sweet potato consistently to 1/4-inch thickness, as directed. Set your toaster to high and plan for two toasting cycles; if one side is browning faster than the other, flip the slices halfway through the second cycle to ensure they are tender and slightly browned all over.
