Ingredients
All you need are 2 ingredients!
Sweet potatoes – Look for those that are evenly shaped throughout so you end up with rounds that are about the same size widthwise. I do prefer ones that aren’t too skinny to take into account shrinkage once baked. That way there’s enough surface area to add all kinds of fun toppings. Oil – Feel free to use any of your favorite cooking oil. Olive oil, avocado oil, and coconut oil will all work! Seasoning(s) – This is optional but highly encouraged if planning to enjoy the sweet potato rounds by themselves without any of the suggested toppings. Cinnamon, cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, black pepper, garlic powder, curry powder….have fun experimenting!

Step-by-Step Instructions
Sweet Potato Toppings
You can enjoy the baked sweet potato slices as is OR layer with all kinds of toppings. Make them as simple or as elegant as you wish! Prep the sweet potatoes – scrub really well to remove any dirt and bacteria. Dry throughly with a kitchen towel. Using a sharp knife, slice into 1/2 inch rounds. Drizzle oil and coat all the sweet potato pieces. Here’s what I suggest. First, pick a spread:
Peanut, nut, or seed butter Mashed avocado Yogurt Ricotta Cream cheese Your favorite cheese (cheddar cheese, parmesan, goat cheese) Yogurt fruit dip Sugar Free Pizza sauce Hummus (try this beet hummus or pumpkin seed hummus) Pesto (zucchini pesto, broccoli pesto, beet pesto, ricotta pesto)
Then, add the toppings:
Fruits (berries, banana, pear, mangoes) Nuts or seeds Fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme) Chocolate chips Vegetables: tomatoes, cucumbers, green onions Dried fruit Drizzle of honey, maple syrup, or date syrup
Storage
Transfer any leftover sweet potato bites into an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. You can warm them up slightly in a toaster oven or enjoy cold! I like to add them straight into my son’s lunch box or snack box. Only freeze them if you’re intending to mash the potatoes or blend them up (to make smoothies, pasta, cookies, etc.) Healthy School Snacks
