Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 large sweet potato washed and sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
  • 1 can canned tuna drained, preferably packed in water
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise optional, for mixing
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha adjust to taste
  • a handful microgreens for garnish
  • to taste salt and pepper for seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for brushing sweet potatoes

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Toothpick or fork
  • Mixing bowl
  • Knife

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Brush the sweet potato slices lightly with olive oil and arrange them on the baking sheet. Bake for about 15-20 minutes, until edges turn golden and they become tender yet still hold their shape.
  2. While the sweet potatoes are roasting, prepare the tuna topping. In a mixing bowl, flake the drained tuna and stir in mayonnaise and sriracha until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
  3. Once the sweet potatoes are done and slightly cooled, spoon or spread the tuna mixture evenly onto each toasted sweet potato slice, pressing gently to help it adhere.
  4. Drizzle a little extra sriracha over the tuna-topped sweet potatoes for added flavor and visual appeal.
  5. Garnish each sweet potato toast with a handful of microgreens for color and freshness. Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of crispy sweet potato and tender tuna.

Notes

For a crunchier texture, broil the sweet potato slices for an additional 1-2 minutes after baking. You can also customize the spice level by adjusting the amount of sriracha. Serve these toasts as a quick snack or light lunch.
