Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, these homemade sweet potato tots are perfect for snacking, sides, or entertaining. Naturally sweet and full of flavor.
2 medium sweet potatoes (roasted, skin removed)
½ cup panko breadcrumbs (+ more for coating)
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
1 egg (or flax egg for vegan)
2 tbsp all-purpose or almond flour
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
Oil spray, for baking
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Roast sweet potatoes for 45 minutes until fork-tender. Let cool, then scoop out 2 cups of flesh.
In a bowl, mash sweet potatoes lightly. Mix in breadcrumbs, cheese (if using), egg, flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Roll mixture into small cylindrical tots. Coat in extra panko for crunch.
Place on parchment-lined baking sheet, spray with oil.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown.
Serve hot with your favorite dip.
