Sweet Potato Parmesan Tots
These oven-baked sweet potato tots are made with just 4 simple ingredients and are a healthy snack or side dish for the entire family!
Equipment
- 1 Cutting Board
- 1 Sharp knife
- 1 Baking sheet lined with parchment paper
- 1 medium bowl
- 1 Microwave
- 1 Oven
Ingredients
- 1 Medium Sweet potato About 1 cup mashed
- 1 Small to medium Zucchini About 1/2 cup grated and liquid squeezed out
- 1/8 to 1/4 Cup Flour
- 1/2 Cup Parmesan
- 1 Pinch Salt, pepper, garlic Optional – to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Using a fork, poke a few holes in sweet potato and microwave for ~5-7 minutes, or until soft. Let cool and peel.
- Grate the zucchini using a hand grater (the finer the better), then use a clean dishtowel to squeeze out as much liquid as possible
- Mash sweet potato with a fork and combine in a bowl with zucchini. Add in shredded parmesan, flour, and spices. Mix thoroughly.
- Using a spoon, scoop out combined mix, form into tots and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Continue until all the mix is gone
- Bake for 20-25 minutes at 400F, then flip and bake for another 18-20 minutes. (For extra crispiness, turn oven to broil and cook for another 1-2 minutes.)
Notes
- Sweet potato can be frozen once microwaved. Zucchini can be frozen once grated after excess water is squeezed out. Tots are also easy to freeze at any stage. Double or even quadruple this recipe for extras to easily reheat later!
