Ingredients

• 1 large sweet potato (about 12 ounces), peeled, cut into 1" pieces
• 1 red Thai chile (optional), halved, some seeds removed
• 1/2 cup fresh orange juice
• Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
• 1 large head broccoli, stem removed, cut into large florets
• 8 tablespoons olive oil, divided
• Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
• 4 3/4"-thick slices crusty bread
• 2 tablespoons chopped raw pistachios
• 1 tablespoon (or more) fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil, divided
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint, divided
• Flaky sea salt (such as Maldon)

Instructions

1. Combine sweet potato, chile (if using) orange juice, and 1 cup 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.
2. DO AHEAD: Sweet potato mash can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and chill.
3. For broccoli and assembly: Preheat oven to 425°F. 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.
