A new year always begins with simple food.

After months of holiday eating, I’m happy to taste simple, flavor packed meals. Inspired by the menu at Le Pain Quotidien, I whipped up this avocado toast for lunch everyday this week. Crusty whole grain bread layered with sweet potatoes, black bean spread and avocado.

A mash of deliciousness topped with spicy chipotle aioli. It’s just what I needed. A light meal packed with flavors.

How to make Sweet Potato Avocado Toast

Step 1: Bake sweet potato.

Bake a sweet potato in the oven or for a quicker method use the microwave.

Step 2: Make the Black Bean Spread and Chipotle Aioli.

While you bake the sweet potatoes (whether it’s in the oven or in the microwave) – you’ve got time to whip both of these up. 

Using a small blender or a whisk, whip all the aioli ingredients together.

For the black bean hummus, mix in a small Cuisinart until smooth. Alternatively, you can purchase black bean hummus and just use that.

STEP 3: Toast a slice of whole grain bread.

Choosing the right bread is essential to achieving the BEST avocado toast. I mean the bread is the base, so it needs to be good stuff. Choose a seedy nine-grain, something with texture and bite. 

Layer the black bean hummus, baked sweet potato, avocado slices and then drizzle it all with the chipotle aioli and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.

Pair this avocado toast with a side salad.

It’s all you need for a healthy and satisfying lunch.

Ingredients
Black Bean Spread
  • 1 15oz can black beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 Tbs olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 1/2 tsp Kosher salt
Chipotle Aioli
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise (regular, light or vegan)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tsp fresh lime juice
  • 7 oz can chipotle in adobo sauce (use 4 tsp sauce from can)
  • Salt and pepper
To Build the Toast:
  • 1 wide loaf crusty whole grain bread, sliced & lightly toasted
  • 1 large sweet potato or yam, baked and sliced into 1/4" rounds
  • 2 large avocado, sliced to top
  • optional: black sesame seeds
Instructions
Black Bean Spread
  1. Blend all ingredients in a blender or mini Cuisinart (which is what I use for all my sauces) until smooth and spreadable. It should be slightly thinner than hummus.

Chipotle Aioli
  1. Whisk all together, refrigerate until ready to use.

Build Your Toast
  1. Smear a layer of black bean spread onto lightly toasted whole grain bread. 

  2. Add a layer of sliced sweet potatoes followed by sliced avocado.

  3. Drizzle chipotle-aioli on top. It's helpful to have a squeeze bottle like this to keep it classy. Add salt and pepper. Sprinkle with black sesame seeds for fun and serve with a lime wedge to squeeze over the top.

  4. Serve whole or cut in pieces. Add a side salad for a fresh and healthy meal!

    That sounds utterly delicious and would be rather fabulous on a wrap with lots of salad leaves as well. Shared!
