Healthy Baked Sweet Potato Tots Recipe

Here is a great recipe that can make your kids, which they will love and not even know it’s extremely healthy! Check out the article we found over at

Some days my kids just decide that they do not want to eat anything that I make. Isn’t that wonderful? What’s a Mom to do?! I’m sure not going to resort to feeding them junk just to make them happy. I have learned to be tricky over the years and have been developing recipes that appear to be junk food to the kids, but are in fact healthy. Baked sweet potato tots are definitely one of my favorites, I always have them on hand! Easy to make, inexpensive, and they keep well in the freezer.

Ingredients:

• 3 cups sweet potatoes
• 1 cup grated raw parmesan cheese, plus more for rolling tots in
• salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

• I freeze them on a cookie sheet until firm and then place into a freezer bag
• These freeze very well, but freeze after rolling into balls — do not bake first
• Place onto cookie sheet and bake at 425* for 10-15 minutes, turning every 5 minutes to cook evenly on all sides
• Form into balls and roll in parmesan until lightly coated
• In a bowl combine sweet potatoes and cheese, mash together with your hands until well combined
• In a food processor, pulse sweet potato until small crumbles form
• Steam them until just starting to get tender, but not cooked through
• Peel and quarter sweet potatoes
• I keep a bag of them in the freezer at all times, in case of a picky kid emergency I just pop a few of these in our toaster oven and in minutes I have a quick healthy snack or a great side for dinner
• Makes approximately 30 tots
