Ingredients
Spice Mix:
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- ¼ teaspoon of ground cayenne red pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon Sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Sweet Potato Bites:
- 2 pounds sweet potatoes cut into 1/4” slices
- 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
- Toppings:
- Franks Hot sauce
- Monterrey Jack and cheddar shredded cheese Mexican blend
- 3 green onions thinly sliced
- jalapeno pepper thinly sliced
- Sour cream
Instructions
Spice Mix:
- Add all ingredients in a large bowl.
Sweet Potato Bites:
- Preheat oven to 425°
- Add olive oil, and sweet potato slices to spice mix and stir till slices are coated.
- Place sweet potato slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, taking care that the rounds do not overlap (if possible).
- Bake 8 minutes on one side, then remove from the oven, flip all rounds, and bake another 8 minutes until soft.
- 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 and jalapeño pepper. (Tip: To make the sour cream easier to dollop, mix it in a bowl with a few drops of water to loosen it).
