Sweet Potato “Tater Tots”

Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes peeled and shredded
  • ¼ cup whole-wheat breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped green onion
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt or to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place the shredded sweet potato in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. Transfer to a bowl and mix with the breadcrumbs, green onion, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, salt and pepper.
  • Take small portions of the mixture and shape them into little tots, pressing firmly so they hold together. Place on the prepared baking sheet with a little space between each one.
  • Bake for about 25–30 minutes, carefully turning halfway through, until golden and crisp on the outside.
  • Serve warm with your favorite oil-free dipping sauce.
