Tasty Tots

Ingredients:

  • 5 cups fresh sweet potatoes, peeled, coarsely shredded
  • 2⅓ cups canned, unsalted garbanzo beans (chickpeas), with liquid
  • ½ cup fresh green onions, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon granulated garlic
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions:

  1. Wash hands with warm soap and water. Wash fresh vegetables before preparing.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  3. Place shredded potatoes on a large baking pan sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Bake 350°F for 20 minutes or until slightly tender. Do not overcook.
  4. Increase oven temperature to 400°F.
  5. In a food processor or blender, puree garbanzo beans, including the liquid until smooth.
  6. In a medium bowl, combine shredded sweet potatoes, pureed garbanzo beans, green onions, vegetable oil, salt, garlic, pepper, onion powder, and cinnamon. Mix well. Cover and refrigerate for 40-45 minutes to make tots easier to form.
