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
Instruction~
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.
A fun way to enjoy sweet potatoes as a crispy, bite-sized snack or side dish, perfect for fall!
Would you choose sweet potato tots over traditional tater tots?
I started out over a decade ago watching Forks Over Knives, decided to “try out” the plant-based meal plan and had shockingly incredible results. I’ve never turned back. I have lost nearly 50 pounds, and that is just one side effect that me, my family, friends and clients have experienced after making the change.
Having been an incredible cook my entire adult life, I started my own personal chef service, NuYu Nourish, to extend my help to others. I interned under a celebrity chef, became a celebrity chef myself and have been expanding my reach and goals ever since! My plan follows strictly and simply those of Dr. Mcdougall, Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Esselstyn.
