To make the toast variations, cook the sweetpotato in your toaster or toaster oven as you would a piece of bread, using the most well-done setting, until tender (you might have to do this 2 times). Transfer the sweetpotato to a plate, add the toppings, and enjoy.
To make the bruschetta variation, cook the sweetpotato as directed above. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the remaining ingredients. Transfer the sweetpotato to a plate, top with the tomato mixture, and enjoy.
