# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Its gluten-free without trying to be, perfect for anyone who feels heavy after regular toast
  • The toppings are endless, meaning you never have to eat the same breakfast twice
  • Sweet potatoes hold up beautifully under toppings, no soggy bottoms here
02 -
  • Slicing the potatoes lengthwise instead of into rounds gives you more surface area for toppings
  • If your slices are uneven thickness, the thinner ones will burn before thicker ones cook through
  • These are best eaten immediately—reheating them never quite recreates that perfect texture
03 -
  • A mandoline makes perfectly even slices, but a sharp knife and steady hand work just fine
  • For extra crispy edges, finish the slices in the toaster for 1 to 2 minutes after roasting
