- 1 egg
- ½ Cup shredded cheese
- 1 Tablespoon Italian seasoning
- ¼ Teaspoon sea salt
- ½ Teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°
- While oven is preheating, microwave sweetpotatoes for 5-6 minutes, or until softened. Let them cool.
- Add spinach to blender or food processor and process until it has a course shredded texture.

- Add breading mixture to sweetpotato mixture. Shape batter into tater tot shapes (I made 30-35 tots) and spread over baking sheet covered with parchment paper, spacing about ½-1 inch apart.
