I’m really not sure where the idea for this recipe came from. Maybe it stemmed from my growing obsession with chickpeas (see Greek Quinoa Salad, Roasted Beet Hummus, Zucchini Quinoa Burgers, I’ve basically been adding these babies to everything lately!) or my general love of tots, either way this is one healthy side dish that everyone will love!
What do you serve with a super healthy Sweet Potato Quinoa Burger that will compliment the burger without ruining its health benefits? Homemade, gluten-free, baked sweet potato tots, of course!

Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients (makes 2 dozen tots)
Begin by boiling a large pot of water. Add the whole potatoes to the water with skins on. Boil for 20 minutes. Remove from the water and allow to cool.
Once cool enough to handle, shred the potatoes using a box grater.
*As you begin shredding the potatoes the skins will peel off. Snack on them while you prepare the tots or simply discard them.
Add the grated sweet potatoes to a large bowl with the flour and salt. Combine well.
Now we get to my favorite part, putting the tots together. Actually my favorite part is eating them, but this part ranks up there simply because I lovingly named this process the “roll and squish”.
Roll…
… and squish!
And this is how you get perfectly shaped tater tots!
Place them on a baking sheet and into a 375° oven.
Bake for 30 minutes or until crisp on the outside.
Now it’s time to dig in!
