There are so many reasons to love fall. The changing leaves, the cozy sweaters, the vegan PSLs, and, of course — sweet potatoes! While available all year round, when we’re craving comfort food, sweet potatoes are the perfect autumn cure to our woes. Not only are they good for us (they’re some of the highest sources of beta-carotene, plus they’re rich in vitamin A, vitamin E, fiber, manganese, and copper),  but they’re versatile, and can be used in both sweet and savory dishes.

On top of dinner and dessert, you can also use them for breakfast — and you best believe we are all about eating sweet potatoes for every meal of the day. If you’re wondering how to transform your sweet potatoes into a delicious breakfast, we searched through the Food Monster App to bring you these five recipe ideas:

Plain toast has gone out of style. First, it was avocado toast. Then, toppings started to get adventurous. There’s nothing like creative toast for breakfast, especially with the delicious and colorful toppings that captivate all your senses and make you so indecisive about which one you are going to go for. How about we ditch the bread for a change and we try these delicious and nutritious Sweet Potato Toasts instead? Nathalie Sader’s recipe is so easy to make! Sweet potato is sliced lengthwise and then toasted or cooked in a skillet until slightly crisp on both sides. Top with avocado like a classic avocado toast or go wild and come up with your own dazzling topping!
