Yield: 1 serving

Sweet Potato Toast

Ingredients

  • 1 medium to large sweet potato
  • Your choice of toppings (see below)

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry a sweet potato.
  2. Slice the sweet potato lengthwise into slices about 1/4 inch thick. For smaller slices cut the potato in half before making lengthwise slices.
  3. Place the potato slices on the toaster oven rack or in the toaster (make sure they are long enough to get out!).
  4. Press toaster as many times it takes to make your sweet potato slices browned as much as you like. Some slices may toast faster than others so just take them out early if they do.
  5. When your sweet potato slices are toasted, spread them with the toppings of your choice and enjoy!

Notes

Some delicious toppings for this Sweet Potato Toast include butter, almond or peanut butter with fruit, hummus, tofu sour cream and chives, eggs, maple syrup, avocados, cream cheese and strawberries, chili, lentils, bruschetta and Parmesan, plus so many more possibilities!

Some of the browned spots may turn almost black and that is fine in my opinion.

You can toast the skin ends of the sweet potatoes too but they may take longer or shorter to cook.

Serve this Sweet Potato Toast for breakfast, lunch, dinner and even as an appetizer or snack!

Yield: Varies

Hard Boiled Eggs

Ingredients

  • Eggs
  • Water

Instructions

  1. Place eggs in a saucepan that is large enough for them to sit in a single layer.
  2. Add enough cold water to cover the eggs by 1 inch.
  3. Bring the water to a boil over high heat.
  4. When a boil is reached, remove the pan from the heat and cover it with a lid.
  5. Let eggs stand for: 12 minutes for large eggs, 9 minutes for medium eggs, and 15 minutes for extra-large eggs.
  6. When the time is up, drain the eggs and cool completely by putting the pan under cold running water or putting them in ice water. After they are cool refrigerate them.
  7. To peel an egg, first tap it to break the shell. Next roll it between your palms to loosen the shell. Start peeling at the large end. Hold it under running water to make it easier.

Notes

Very fresh eggs can be difficult to peel. Use eggs that are about 7 - 10 days old. This resting time will allow the eggs to take in some air which will help to separate the membranes and they will be easier to peel.

The best time to peel a hard boiled egg is right after cooling. During this cooling process the egg will contract slightly in the shell.

Hard-boiled eggs in the shell will be good for 1 week in the refrigerator. Once peeled, eggs should be eaten within a day.
