Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly coating it with cooking spray.
- Peel the sweet potato and carrot. Using a grater, finely grate both the sweet potato and carrot into a large mixing bowl.
- Add the grated sweet potato and carrot into a large bowl. Crack the egg into the mixture and mix well.
- Add the bread crumbs, shredded mozzarella cheese, salt, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and paprika to the bowl.
- Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until they are well-combined and the mixture starts to hold together.
- Take small portions of the mixture and shape them into small cylindrical or oval tot shapes, about the size of a large marble or golf ball.
- Place the shaped tots onto the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are evenly spaced and not touching each other.
- Lightly spray the tops of the tots with cooking spray.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the tots are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the tots to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces.
Tips:
- Make sure to grate the sweet potato and carrot finely to ensure they cook evenly and hold together well.
- You can replace the bread crumbs with a gluten-free alternative if you have dietary restrictions.
- If you want to add an extra touch of flavor, try incorporating some chopped fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro into the mixture.
- Baking the tots on a wire rack placed over a baking sheet can help them become crispier by allowing hot air to circulate around them.
- Be careful with the seasoning; you can adjust the salt and pepper to taste to suit your preference.
Sweet potato and carrot tots are a versatile and tasty treat that can be enjoyed by all. By following this simple recipe, you can create a snack that is not only flavorful but also packed with nutrients. Serve them as a healthy side dish or a fun appetizer, and watch them disappear quickly!
