Ingredients

For the cashew cream:

  • 1 cup raw cashews
  • ½ teaspoon nutritional yeast
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup water

For the roasted broccoli rabe:

  • 8 ounces broccoli rabe chopped
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil melted
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper

For the rest of the sweet potato toast:

  • 2 sweet potatoes cut into 4 slices each (slices should be about ¼ inch thick)
  • 2 to matoes sliced
  • Balsamic glaze for topping optional

Instructions

  • Make the cashew cream in advance. Soak the cashews in water for at least 4 hours or overnight. Strain cashews and transfer to a blender. Add nutritional yeast and salt. Begin running blender and slowly stream in water until cream has reached the desired consistency. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator if not using right away.
  • Next, make the broccoli rabe. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a jelly roll pan with aluminum foil and set aside. In a medium mixing bowl, toss the broccoli rabe in the coconut oil, salt and pepper. Lay broccoli rabe out on jelly roll pan and roast in preheated oven for about 20 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside.
  • Turn your toaster to the highest heat setting and toast the sweet potato slices. You may need to run the slices through a few times, until the center of the sweet potato slices are soft and the edges are golden and crispy.
  • Remove slices from toaster and spread cashew cream over top. Top with roasted broccolini and then tomato slices. Drizzle with balsamic glaze, if desired. Eat immediately.

Notes

  1. You can prepare the cashew cream up to a few days in advance and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
  2. Cook your broccoli rabe and slice your tomatoes before toasting your sweet potato slices so you can enjoy the toast before it gets cold!
  3. To make the sweet potato toast, be sure to turn up your toaster to high. Even so, you may need to run the slices through 2-3 times before they are cooked. Alternatively, you could use a toaster oven.
  4. This dish is best enjoyed as soon as it is made.
