# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • You can prep a whole batch on Sunday and breakfast practically makes itself all week
  • The topping combinations are endless, so youll never get bored even if you eat this every day
02 -
  • Slice thickness matters, too thin and they fall apart, too thick and they take forever to cook through
  • If you want extra crispy edges, pop the roasted slices in your toaster for one quick cycle before topping
03 -
  • Choose sweet potatoes that are relatively straight for more uniform slices
  • If your slices are wobbling on the baking sheet, trim a tiny bit off the rounded bottom to create stability
