Ingredients  

  • 2 cups sweetpotatoes about 2 medium, mashed
  • 2 cups spinach
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese
  • 1 T Italian seasoning
  • ¼ tsp sea salt
  • ½ tsp garlic powder

Instructions 

  1. Preheat oven to 375.
  2. While oven is preheating, microwave sweetpotatoes for 5-6 minutes, or until softened. Let them cool.
  3. Add spinach to blender or food processor and process until it has a shredded texture.
  4. Once sweetpotatoes have cooled, separate filling from skin. Discard skin or save it for future use. Mix sweetpotato filling with shredded spinach.
  5. Prepare breading by mixing breadcrumbs, egg, shredded cheese and spices.
  6. Add breading mixture to sweetpotato mixture. Shape batter into tater tot shapes (I made 30-35 tots) and spread over baking sheet with parchment paper, spacing about
    ½-1 inch apart.
  7. Bake for 28-30 minutes or until slightly browned on the edges.
  8. Serve with ketchup, guacamole or hummus.
