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.

These sweet potato rounds are festive, flavorful, and guaranteed to disappear fast! Be sure to make a double batch because everyone will be coming back for more!

Sweet Potato Rounds

Tablespoons Olive Oil

Orange Zest

Salt

½ teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper

Sweet Potatoes

½ Cup Cranberry Sauce

⅓ Cup Crumbled Feta (see note)

⅓ Cup Hazelnuts (roughly chopped)

Tablespoon Butter

Cinnamon

Tablespoon Balsamic Vinegar

Tablespoons Honey

Fresh Thyme (for garnish)

Preheat the oven to 425° and set out a cookie sheet.

In a large bowl combine olive oil, orange zest, salt and pepper. Add sweet potato rounds to the bowl and toss to coat evenly.

One by one, in an even layer, place the sweet potatoes on a large rimmed baking sheet, leaving space in between. Roast sweet potato slices for 10-12 minutes, until the bottom is golden.

Remove the pan from the oven and carefully flip the rounds over using a spatula. Return to the oven and continue roasting for an additional 10-12 minutes until they are golden.

Meanwhile, heat a small nonstick pan over medium heat and toss the hazelnuts until toasted, about 1 minute and then add the butter. Once melted, add the cinnamon and stir to coat for about 1 more minute, being sure the nuts aren&#39;t browning much. Remove to a plate.

Remove the potatoes from the oven. Transfer to a serving platter and top each round with cranberry sauce, cheese, and nuts.

In a small dish, whisk the balsamic vinegar and honey until smooth. It will take a second to emulsify. Using a spoon, drizzle honey vinegar over the tops of the rounds and garnish with fresh thyme. Serve immediately.
