Avocado toast is a fun meal idea. My favorite avocado toast topping is roasted sweet potato and fresh arugula leaves. I love the textures of the assembled avocado toast — crusty bread; soft avocado spread, fresh arugula, and roasted sweet potato.

Instructions
For the Avocado Spread
Using a sharp knife, cut the avocado top and slice through the avocado lengthwise until you hit the pit all sides.
Twist open the avocado halves.
Hit the pit with the knife and take it out. You might need to twist it a little to loosen the pit.
Scoop out the avocado flesh, discarding any browned parts.
Mash the flesh with a fork.
Add finely chopped fresh coriander, cumin powder, paprika powder, and salt to taste.
Mix well to combine.
For the Avocado toast toppings:
Switch on the grill of your oven. Or you can even roast the sweet potatoes and the bread in a pan.
Peel, wash, and chop the sweet potato into small cubes.
On a baking tray, spread the sweet potatoes, drizzle some olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix and spread.
Roast the sweet potatoes for 5 mins.
Remove the tray and turn the potatoes. Add the bread slices with some butter/oil-spread for vegan on the same tray.
Roast the potatoes ad bread for just about 5 minutes.
To assemble the avocado toast:
Generously spread the avocado spread on the toasted bread.
Add some fresh salad leaves. I’ve used arugula (rocket leaves) here but baby spinach will also go well with sweet potatoes.
Add the roasted sweet potato and sprinkle some sesame seeds.
Enjoy!
