# Cooking Steps:

01 - Preheat your oven to 400°F to ensure proper roasting temperature.
02 - Using a sharp knife, slice the sweet potatoes lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick planks. Aim for uniform thickness to ensure even cooking.
03 - Brush both sides of each sweet potato slice with olive oil using a pastry brush. Sprinkle lightly with salt to enhance flavor.
04 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the seasoned sweet potato slices in a single layer, ensuring none overlap.
05 - Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through cooking. The sweet potatoes are done when fork-tender and lightly browned on edges.
06 - Remove from the oven and let the sweet potato toasts cool for 2 to 3 minutes. This helps them firm up slightly for better topping support.
07 - Top with avocado and cherry tomatoes, cottage cheese and chives, hummus and feta, or hard-boiled eggs with fresh herbs. Season with chili flakes if desired.
08 - Spread peanut butter and add sliced banana with granola, or layer cottage cheese with honey and fresh fruit.
09 - Serve the sweet potato toasts while still warm for the best texture and flavor experience.
