❓ Q&A

Q1: Can I use regular bread instead of sweet potato?
A: Yes! But sweet potato adds extra nutrients, fiber, and a naturally sweet flavor that pairs beautifully with salmon.

Q2: What if I don’t like smoked salmon?
A: You can swap it with grilled chicken, boiled eggs, cottage cheese, or even hummus for a vegetarian version.

Q3: How do I store leftover sweet potato slices?
A: Store cooked slices in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in an air fryer or toaster before serving.

Q4: Can I make this dairy-free and keto-friendly?
A: Yes! The recipe is already dairy-free and low in carbs, making it perfect for both.

Q5: How to keep avocado from browning?
A: Mix the mashed avocado with extra lemon or lime juice and cover tightly with plastic wrap or keep in an airtight container.

Q6: Is this recipe good for meal prep?
A: Absolutely. You can pre-toast the sweet potato slices and mash the avocado ahead of time (just keep them stored separately).
