Ingredients
Makes 2 Servings
- sprouted grain bread (2 slices)
- mashed cooked sweet potato (1 sweet potato); peel removed (see note) (1 c)
- lemon juice (2 1/2 tsp (12.5 mL))
- iodized salt (1/8 tsp (0.6 mL))
- ground black pepper (optional) (to taste)
- avocado, cubed or 2 tbsp (30mL) black olives, sliced (1/2)
Directions
-
Toast the bread.

Note: It's useful to bake sweet potatoes in advance. Place whole sweet potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment. Bake at 450 F (232 C) for 40 to 60 minutes, or until very soft. (Cooking time will depend on the size of the sweet potato.) Store in the fridge until ready to use (up to 6 days) or in the freezer for a couple of months.
