Spiced Sweet Potato and Roasted Broccoli Toasts

These spiced sweet potato and roasted broccoli toasts offer a vibrant and sophisticated twist on a classic light lunch. The base features a velvety sweet potato mash, naturally sweetened with fresh orange juice and a hint of chilli warmth, providing the perfect contrast to the charred, savoury notes of the roasted broccoli. It is a texture-rich dish that balances creamy, crunchy, and zesty elements in every bite.

As a delicious vegan option, this recipe is packed with plant-based nutrients and fresh herbs like basil and mint to lift the flavours. These toasts are ideal for a quick weekend brunch or a stylish starter when entertaining friends. For a time-saving tip, you can prepare the sweet potato mash up to three days in advance and store it in the fridge until you are ready to assemble.

How to make Spiced Sweet Potato and Roasted Broccoli Toasts

Combine sweet potato, chilli (if using) orange juice, and 240ml water in a small saucepan; season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until sweet potato is very soft and liquid has evaporated, 20–25 minutes. Remove from heat and mash. Let cool slightly.

DO AHEAD: Sweet potato mash can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and chill.

Preheat oven to 218°C. Toss broccoli and 2 tablespoons oil on a rimmed baking sheet; season with salt and pepper. Roast until tender, 15–20 minutes. Let cool, then coarsely chop.

Meanwhile, brush both sides of bread with 2 tablespoons oil total and toast on a baking sheet until golden brown, 6–8 minutes.

Toss broccoli, nuts, lemon juice, half of basil and mint, and remaining 4 tablespoons oil in a large bowl; season with salt and pepper.

Spread toasts with sweet potato, top with broccoli mixture and remaining basil and mint, and sprinkle with sea salt. Cut into pieces.
