How to Make Sweet Potato Toast in the Air Fryer

Now that you have your ingredients ready, let’s get started on making this delicious breakfast treat. Follow these easy steps:

  1. Step 1: Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees. Take a whole sweet potato and clean it. You can peel it if you like but it’s not necessary. Slice the sweet potato to make (toast) by turning it onto its side and using a knife to slice pieces that are 1/2 of an inch thick. Depending on the size of the sweet potato, you should be able to get 4 slices.
  2. Step 2: Brush both sides of the sweet potato slices with olive oil. Season the slices with salt and pepper to taste. Place the sweet potato slices in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
  3. Air fry for 18 minutes, or until the sweet potato slices are tender and lightly browned. Remove from the air fryer and serve immediately.

Equipment You’ll Need For Air Fryer Sweet Potato Toast

  • Cutting Board
  • Knife
  • Parchment Paper
  • Air Fryer

Can I Use My Air Fryer as a Toaster?

Yes, you can use your air fryer to make toast, including sweet potato toast. The air fryer is a great alternative to a traditional toaster, as it allows you to cook food quickly and evenly without the need for oil.

The air fryer will cook the sweet potato similarly to how a toaster will. The air fryer heats up the surface of the sweet potato slices so that they get crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

This makes a perfect piece of sweet potato toast that won’t stick to the plate or fall apart if you try to pick it up and eat it with your hands.

How to Make Sweet Potato Toast in the Toaster

Conversely you can use a regular toaster to make sweet potato toast! If you don’t have an air fryer or toaster oven, using a toaster is the quickest way to make sweet potato toast.

To make air fryer sweet potato toast in the toaster simply place the slices of sweet potato into the toaster and toast it on high.

If the slices aren’t perfectly cooked run them through the toaster once more.

What Temperature Should Sweet Potatoes Be in an Air Fryer?

This is hard to say because all air fryers cook food slightly differently. I would say that what ever setting you normally use your air fryer to make french fries is the best temperature.

The ideal temperature for cooking sweet potato slices in an air fryer is 400°F. If your air fryer runs hot you can drop that temperature down to 375.

Can You Freeze Sweet Potato Toast?

Yes, you can freeze Air Fryer Sweet Potato Toast. Simply place the cooked sweet potato slices in an airtight container and store them in the freezer for up to 3 months.

How to Freeze Air Fryer Sweet Potato Toast

The best way to freeze air fryer sweet potato toast is to place a piece of parchment paper between each slice. Then put all of the slices in an air tight container or zip lock bag. The parchment paper will keep the slices from sticking together.

That way you can remove single slices from the freezer container without having them stick together and rip when you try to pry them apart.

How to Reheat Frozen Sweet Potato Toast

In the air fryer:

To reheat frozen sweet potato toast, simply place the slices in the air fryer and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until heated through.

In a skillet on the stovetop:

You can also warm the slices in a small skillet over a low flame. Cook the sweet potato on each for 3 minutes. Make sure not to raise the heat or the sweet potato will burn before it is heated evenly.

In the toaster oven:

Preheat your toaster oven to 200 degrees. At this temperature the toast will warm up but it will not cook further.

Place the sweet potato toast on a parchment lined baking sheet. Place the cookie sheet in the oven on the middle rack for 12 minutes. Flip the slices over half way through cooking.

How to Store Leftover Sweet Potato Toast

If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. If you decide to freeze the sweet potato toast separate each piece with some parchment paper. This will prevent them from sticking together.

How Long Does Sweet Potato Toast Last?

In the fridge sweet potato toast will last for 5 days.

In the freezer the toast will last for up to 4 months.

Do You Have to Soak Sweet Potatoes Before Air Frying?

No you don’t have to soak sweet potatoes in water before you air fry them. People often recommend soaking potatoes in water for 30 minutes before cooking them.

Potatoes are naturally high in starch, soaking the potatoes helps to remove some of that starch. When you release starch from the sweet potato prior to cooking you’ll get a crispier potato.

So while it isn’t necessary, if you want crispy sweet potato toast you can soak the slices before you air fry them.

I personally like the inside of my sweet potato toast soft. It’s creamy and tastes especially good with some unsalted organic butter on top.

Expert Tips and Tricks for Making Sweet Potato Toast

You don’t need many expert tips to make this 2 ingredient sweet potato toast. But here are a few tricks I’ve picked up during my sweet potato toast adventures.

  • Find a big sweet potato. A nice large sweet potato will make big slices of toast. The bigger the slice the more yummy toppings you can fit on top!
  • Slice a small piece off the side of the sweet potato before you slice it into toast. This will help the sweet potato from rolling around on the cutting board.
  • If you’re using a bread toaster to make the sweet potato toast. Trim the sides and bottom of the sweet potato so that it lays flat in the toaster. And so that it fits inside of the slot.

Is Air Fryer Sweet Potato Toast Gluten Free?

Yes, Air Fryer Sweet Potato Toast is gluten-free, as sweet potatoes do not contain gluten. If you plan on eating your sweet potato toast with butter watch out for cross contamination.

Lot’s of people will butter their bread and dip the knife into the butter multiple times. Once a knife has touched the bread and then the stick of butter again that stick has now been cross contaminated with gluten.

Does Toasting Bread Reduce Gluten Content?

No unfortunately toasting bread doesn’t reduce the gluten content. This myth is untrue and has no scientific backing. Gluten is apart of the wheat and it cannot be stripped away. That’s why products made with grains that contain gluten will always have gluten in them.

The only way to strip gluten from grain is to make distilled alcohol.

Topping Ideas for Sweet Potato Toast

One of the best things about sweet potato toast is how versatile it is when it comes to toppings. Here are a few ideas to get you started:

  • Avocado and fried egg
  • Almond butter and banana
  • Hummus and sliced cucumber
  • Cream cheese and smoked salmon
  • Goat cheese and figs
  • Ricotta cheese and honey
  • Greek yogurt and berries

Can I Make Sweet Potato Toast in Advance?

Yes, you can make sweet potato toast in advance. Simply air fry or bake the sweet potato slices as directed, then store them in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

If you really want to be prepared you can make sweet potato toast up to 4 months in advance if you freeze it. Read the blog post above to learn how to freeze sweet potato toast. And get instructions on how to reheat frozen air fryer sweet potato toast.
