    Can we talk about sweet potato toast?!

    To be brutally honest, when this insanely popular food trend first surfaced, I didn’t immediately hop on the sweet potato toast train. Admittedly, I didn’t really get it. I mean, I could see how it would taste good, but it wasn’t one of those things that I saw on Pinterest and said, “OMG!!! I have to make that!”

    Black Bean Salsa recipe || The perfect topping for sweet potato toast or for dipping chips! || @thismessisours @litehousefoods

    Over the last 6 months, I kept seeing all sorts of versions of sweet potato toasts pop up in my feed. I slowly started thinking that maybe, just maybe, this was a trend I needed to try for myself. I do really LOVE sweet potatoes after all!

    So a few weekends ago, I decided to put any skepticism about this burgeoning food trend aside and give it a go. I stuck with flavors that I really enjoy like black bean salsa, creamy Litehouse Avocado Dip, and pipits.

    I first tried thin slices in my toaster, but decided I wanted a bit of crispiness like real toast around the edges. Therefore, I opted for quickly roasting the sweet potato planks in the oven. 15 minutes later, I topped them with a schemer of Litehouse Avocado Dip, my go-to black bean salsa, some salt and pepper, a few pepitas, and a hearty dose of red pepper flakes.

    This avocado topping can be used on anything you want. 

    If you’ve never tried Litehouse Avocado Dip, you are truly missing out! I’ve been keeping a container of it in the fridge. It's perfect for afternoon snacks, taco toppings, and a tangy dressing for my favorite Tex Mex inspired salads. It’s rich, creamy, and highly addictive!

    Those little planks sure did look beautiful, but the flavor is what really blew me away. Salty, sweet, with a little kick, exactly how I like to start my day! Consider me a sweet potato toast convert. I think I might just need to explore this breakfast situation on a weekly basis!
