Instructions
Creating Sweet Potato Bites is straightforward with these easy steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into small cubes for quicker cooking.
3. Boil Sweet Potatoes: Place the sweet potato cubes in a pot of boiling water. Cook for about 10-12 minutes or until tender. Drain and let cool slightly.
4. Mash the Potatoes: In a large bowl, mash the cooked sweet potatoes until smooth and creamy.
5. Combine Ingredients: Add the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to the mashed sweet potatoes. Mix well until fully combined.
6. Add Eggs: Beat the eggs in a small bowl and then mix them into the sweet potato mixture until well incorporated.
7. Form the Bites: Using your hands, shape the mixture into small balls or patties, about 1-2 inches in diameter. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
8. Spray with Olive Oil: Lightly spray the tops of the bites with olive oil to promote browning.
9. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
10. Cool: Once baked, remove from the oven and let the Sweet Potato Bites cool for a few minutes before serving.
