Loaded Sweet Potato Bites!

sweet potatoes

olive oil

garlic powder

chili powder

salt

Hot sauce

Monterrey Jack and cheddar shredded cheese (Mexican blend)

green onions

Sour cream (or Vegan Sour Cream)

Cut the sweet potatoes into ¼-inch slices. Place the slices in a large bowl, sprinkle with 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon chili powder, and 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and stir to thoroughly coat both sides of all slices. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, taking care that the rounds do not overlap (if possible). Bake 10 minutes on one side, then remove from the oven, flip all rounds, and bake another 10 minutes until soft.

While the potatoes bake, thinly slice the green onions.

When the potatoes are done, remove them from oven and add a dot of hot sauce on each round (or more if desired). Top each round with shredded cheese and wait a few minutes for the cheese to melt (the potatoes will be hot enough at this point to melt the cheese).

To serve, place the rounds on a platter. Add a dollop of sour cream on each round, and garnish with sliced green onions. (Tip: To make the sour cream easier to dollop, mix it in a bowl with a few drops of water to loosen it).

Sweet Potato Tempura with the lightest, crispiest batter is so much easier to make at home than you may think!

Sweet Potato Tempura

eggs

ice water

flour

Vegetable oil

potato

Beat eggs in a large bowl until frothy. Mix in salt, ice water and flour until just incorporated. Batter should still be lumpy.

Pour about 2 inches of oil in a saucepan and heat to 350 degrees F.

Pat sweet potato slices dry on both sides with a paper towel. Dip a few slices in the batter, letting excess batter drip back into the bowl and fry until golden brown, turning once, about 2 minutes per side. Lift out with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle lightly with salt. Repeat with remaining sweet potato.

Serve a few pieces of tempura over Annie Chun’s Miso Soup Bowl, and serve the remaining tempura on the side with soy sauce or other desired dipping sauce.
