Description
A cozy and nutrient-dense toast that combines warm roasted sweet potatoes, creamy cottage cheese, and a hint of fall spices on hearty whole grain bread. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a light dinner. Naturally high in protein, fiber, and vitamin A, this toast is both satisfying and nourishing.
Ingredients
1 large sweet potato, peeled and sliced into ½-inch rounds
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
Pinch of cardamom
½ teaspoon sea salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
4 slices whole grain bread
½ cup cottage cheese (preferably full-fat, small curd)
1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional)
Optional toppings: toasted pumpkin seeds, fresh thyme, honey drizzle, rosemary
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Prepare the sweet potatoes: In a large bowl, toss sweet potato slices with olive oil, cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
Roast sweet potatoes on a parchment-lined baking sheet for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until caramelized and tender.
Toast the bread to desired crispness.
Assemble the toast: Spread cottage cheese on each slice (3–4 tablespoons per toast), layer with roasted sweet potatoes, and drizzle with maple syrup if desired.
Add toppings like pumpkin seeds, herbs, or a light honey drizzle.
Serve immediately while warm for best flavor and texture.
Notes
Pre-roast sweet potatoes and store refrigerated for up to 5 days to make weekday prep quick.
Whip the cottage cheese in a food processor for a smooth, creamy spread.
For a savory twist, swap sweet spices for smoked paprika, garlic powder, and rosemary.
