Sweet Potato Toast with Avocado

Instructions

1. Prepare the sweet potato
   Wash and dry the sweet potato thoroughly. Using a sharp knife, slice the sweet potato lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick slices to create 'toast' slices. You should get about 4-6 slices depending on the size of your sweet potato.
2. Toast the sweet potato slices
   Set your toaster to the highest setting and toast the sweet potato slices 2-3 times until they're cooked through and slightly browned. Alternatively, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C), brush the slices with olive oil, and bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and golden.
3. Prepare the avocado spread
   In a small bowl, mash the avocado with lime juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth but still slightly chunky.
4. Assemble the toast
   Spread the avocado mixture evenly over each sweet potato toast. Sprinkle with remaining salt, red pepper flakes if using, and chopped cilantro.
5. Add optional toppings
   If using eggs, fry or poach them to your liking and place one on top of each assembled toast. Sprinkle with pumpkin seeds for added crunch and nutritional value.
