I know – avocado toast is SO over, and even if it weren’t, you don’t need a recipe for it. This trend might be on it’s way out, but you’ll still find me (and pretty much everyone else on Instagram) happily smashing & snapping away.
I usually keep mine simple – avocado, lemon, salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of hemp seeds. It’s a perfect combo that doesn’t need to be messed with, but since this was “dinner toast” for us one night last week, I thought I’d get a little fancier with the toppings. (Also, Jack is still claiming that he doesn’t like avocado, but if I hide it a little, no complaints).
This chart of ingredients looks a little fussy, but most of these are pantry staples and items that I happened to have on hand. For example, the adobo sauce (our favorite addition here) comes from a leftover can of chipotles that I had previously opened for this chili recipe. So feel free to use and re-use whatever you like. Send me your winning combos and, together, let’s keep this trend alive!
- 1 medium avocado
- about 4 slices whole grain bread
- squeeze of lemon
- salt & pepper
- ½ cup cubed sweet potatoes
- a few teaspoons adobo sauce (from a can of chipotles in adobo)*
- 1 tablespoon pepitas, toasted
- ½ serrano pepper, sliced
- a few leaves of kale, torn, massaged w/ a little olive oil or lightly blanched
- a few pickled radishes or pickled onions
- 1 tablespoon Happy Hemp seeds
- a few sprouts
- Chop your sweet potatoes in to small cubes. Drizzle with olive oil, salt & pepper, and roast them in the oven or on a cast iron skillet. Oven: 400 degrees for about 20 minutes. Skillet: brown the edges in the skillet for about 10 minutes. If potatoes are not cooked through, add a little water, cover, and let steam until they're fully cooked.
- Toast your bread. Use the back of a fork to smush avocado onto it. Add a squeeze of lemon and a pinch of salt and pepper. Add toppings as pictured or however you like!

This is my kind of avocado toast! Love
i eat avocado toast almost every morning. i think it’s the perfect way to start the day.
I will never ever tire of avocado toast! I love sprinkling homemade dukkah on mine. But this sweet potato version sounds incredible! That adobo, must try.
I hope avocado toast is never over! It’s so tasty!
Love it! In the summertime I could eat avocado toast with tomatoes, olive oil and Maldon salt every day.
I am obsessed with avocado toast and eat it almost daily. I like avocado mashed with olive oil, garlic salt, and a bit of fresh lemon juice. I top it with chocolate cherry tomatoes and chives and then drizzle some siracha on top.
What a delicious combo!
Avocado toast may have had it’s 15 minutes of fame, but I am ALWAYS looking for new twists on it! This one was definitely original and sound delicious.

I love this combo and it makes such a gorgeous, versatile snack or lunch!
I am so not over avocado toast!!! Top it with an egg or these potatoes or just simply with CRP flakes and lemon zest, any way I am in!!! Hemp seeds? Worth a try?
I love all things on toast – especially if it combines avocado and sweet potatoes. YUM. Pinning this and hopefully trying it soon! 🙂
You’ve elevated toast to a whole new level for me and I’m loving the combo of sweet potato and avocado. Now why haven’t I combined those too?
I have something a little embarrassing to admit. I’ve never had avocado toast. (I wish I had the ability to type that in a very small font so it was like typing a whisper.) The truth is that I don’t have a good explanation for it. I love toast, I love avocado, and I love food trends, but maybe I’ll just jump on it soon and pretend like avocado toast and me were always best friends.
I Love this combo, can’t wait to try!
This toast recipe looks filling and delicious! I have to make it a.s.a.p. Happy Wednesday 🙂
I could eat avocado toast all day everyday and never tire of it! Definitely loving this version as well!
What a keen idea! It’s quick. Something different than a sandwich. Also can use left over sweet potatoes. Bingo—it takes good too.
