Oranges are great to use in savory dishes! I guess most people eat them as a snack or include them in their breakfast or baking. But they are such a great addition in savory dishes as well. They add a nice sweet and juicy taste to the dish and make a lovely contrast to cheeses and yogurts. This toast is a great example of how to use oranges in savory dishes. This dish is made with just three main ingredients (and two optional), only takes 10 minutes to prepare and taste wonderful. You have a tender sweet potato toast that has a gentle sweet taste, fresh ricotta that has a smooth texture with a creamy mild taste, sweet quickly fried oranges, creamy and sweet honey/agave/fiber syrup and roasted warm walnuts. This toast is perfect to serve for for breakfast, brunch, lunch or as an afternoon snack. It is both vegetarian, gluten and grain free.
A few tips:
- I used sweet potato slices for the toast. But you can of course replace them with regular bread if preferred. But I would recommend you to try a sweet potato toast.
- You can either bake the sweet potato toast in the oven or make it in a bread toaster. I prefer to use the oven even though it takes a few more minutes.
- Make sure to let the nonstick pan get really warm with some olive oil in it before frying the orange slices. They should fry quickly to get a little warm and browned. If you start to fry them before the pan is really hot they will end up mushy, bland and boring.
- The fiber syrup/honey/agave is optional but highly recommended, it adds a lovely taste to the toast.
- The same goes with the walnuts.
