AIP Sweet Potato Avocado Toast

Having toast on an AIP diet might seem impossible, but have you heard about sweet potato toast? It isn’t really bread, but once baked and toasted, it becomes an excellent base for your delicious toppings. You can prepare a large quantity on the weekend and have a different flavored breakfast toast every morning.

What is AIP?

AIP stands for the autoimmune protocol, an elimination diet that aims to determine food allergies and sensitivities in those suffering from autoimmune conditions. This diet is based on the Paleo diet and removes all potentially problematic foods, including grains, dairy, eggs, legumes, beans, nuts, seeds, nightshades, processed foods, and foods with chemicals and additives. AIP may help to reverse nutrient deficiencies in those with autoimmune diseases, balance gut flora, and assist in healing. Sweet potato toast is the perfect food for many AIP breakfast ideas.

How to choose the right piece of sweet potato?

There are many kinds, shapes, and colors of sweet potatoes. Choose the orange /red-skinned potatoes, which tend to be sweeter, softer, and less starchy. Look for a wide piece rather than a long one to get a good surface area to add your toppings.

What toppings can you add to sweet potato toast?

Customizing your toppings are a fun way to keep your diet interesting, as long as you use AIP-friendly ingredients. For this avocado toast, you can add sliced radish and greens, grilled chicken or salmon, or sauteed mushrooms. For a sweet version, top the toast with coconut yogurt and fruit.

How to store leftovers?

While avocado toast isn’t good for leftovers, you can keep the sweet potato toast in the fridge for a couple of days. After they’re baked and cooled, place them in an airtight container with pieces of parchment between them. Store for up to 5 days. To make your AIP recipes, reheat them in the oven, air fryer, oven, or toaster before adding toppings.
