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.
