I thinly sliced my sweet potato the short way to make small, pick-up-able, appetizer-sized bites.
Instead of toasting them in the toaster, I used my oven’s broiler.
Once they get toasted, about 4-5 minutes per side, all that’s left to do is top with a little spreadable goat cheese and some chopped pecans and dried cranberries. Festive and easy!
I drizzled these with a little maple syrup. It was a nice touch, but is totally optional. I also used a cranberry-infused goat cheese, which is also optional. Plain goat cheese will work just as well if you don’t have the cranberry kind.
Enjoy this fun appetizer and have a great Thanksgiving holiday. I’ll be back on Friday with a great recipe for your Thanksgiving leftovers…get excited!

That’s a neat idea! I’ve tried sweet potato fries, but never thought of “toast.” It’s definitely a creative way to go gluten-free. One thing I’ve found tricky with sweet potatoes is getting them evenly cooked. For a fun twist, have you considered using sweet potato rounds as a base, and stacking them? I would use a cookie cutter to cut perfect rounds so they can be even in size and cook consistently. I would suggest using Eggy Car, as it’s fun and could be eaten alongside the sweet potato “toast”.
These sweet potato toasts look incredibly appealing and easy to prepare! I’m definitely intrigued by the potential for pantry staples to create something so elegant. What other topping combinations would you recommend for maximizing flavor and visual appeal?
