Ingredients
- 4 sweet potato about 2 pounds, peeled and cut into cubes, medium
- 1/2 teaspoon salt plus more to taste, sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- 3/4 cup Parmesan Cheese preferably freshly grated, grated
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper optional
- 1 teaspoon oregano dried
- 1/2 cup bread crumbs regular
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs for added crunch
- olive oil for coating, spray form
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F. Prepare two baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper or greasing them.
- Steam the sweet potato cubes until tender, about 10-15 minutes. You can do this by placing them in a steaming basket over boiling water or using a microwave-safe bowl with a bit of water, covered, and microwaved on high for 5-7 minutes.
- Transfer the potatoes to a large bowl and mash them with a fork or potato masher until smooth. Season the mashed sweet potatoes with sea salt, black pepper, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, cayenne pepper (if using), and oregano. Mix well.
- In a separate shallow dish, combine the regular breadcrumbs and panko breadcrumbs. This will be your coating mixture.
- Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, shape the sweet potato mixture into small cylinders resembling traditional tater tots. Roll each tot in the breadcrumb mixture, then place them on the prepared baking sheets.
- Lightly spray the tops of the tots with olive oil spray for crispiness.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then carefully flip each tot and continue baking for another 10-15 minutes, until they are golden brown.
- Serve with your favorite dip or on their own.
