# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It's naturally gluten-free and works for almost any diet without feeling restrictive or boring.
  • You get to play with flavors—one morning it's savory and herbaceous, the next it's sweet and nutty.
  • The whole thing comes together faster than you'd expect, making it perfect for weekdays when you want something that feels homemade.
02 -
  • If your slices come out soft instead of having that slight firmness, your oven might run cool—consider bumping the temperature to 425°F next time.
  • The magic ingredient many people miss is letting the sweet potato cool for just a minute; it firms up and holds toppings instead of absorbing them into mush.
03 -
  • For extra crispiness, slide the roasted slices into a toaster for one cycle after they cool—it transforms the texture in a way you'll crave.
  • Keep your favorite toppings in a rotation so you're not eating the same combination twice in one week; variety keeps this from becoming boring even if you eat it daily.
