Frequently Asked Questions
How should I store leftover Mashed Sweet Potato Toast mixture?
Since this recipe is best served warm and fresh, it's not ideal for long-term storage. However, you can store any unused mashed sweet potato base in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Remember to reheat it gently in the microwave before serving to restore that warm, spreadable consistency.
Can I make this Mashed Sweet Potato Toast ahead of time?
While the prep time is very short (5 minutes), you can certainly bake the sweet potato ahead of time. Once baked, mash it with the spices and syrup, but skip the final microwaving step. Store the mixture chilled and warm it for 45 seconds right before topping it with your strawberries and coconut flakes.
What are some easy topping substitutions for this sweet potato dessert?
This recipe is highly customizable! If you don't have nut butter, you can substitute it with sunflower seed butter or a tablespoon of full-fat Greek yogurt for creaminess. Feel free to swap the strawberries for sliced bananas or blueberries, and use hemp seeds instead of chia seeds for an added textural crunch.
