Ingredients

  • 2 Cups cooked mashed sweetpotatoes
  • 2 Cups spinach
  • 1 Cup bread crumbs
  • 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.
  • Once sweetpotatoes have cooled, separate pulp from skin. Discard skin or save it for future use. Mix sweet potato pulp with shredded spinach.
  • Prepare breading by mixing breadcrumbs, egg, shredded cheese and spices.
  • 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.
  • Bake for 28-30 minutes or until slightly browned on the edges.
  • Serve with your favorite condiment such as ketchup, guacamole or hummus.
