Out of all the recipes that I have made, I can confidently say that this one is in my top five and is my favorite quick and easy side dish for almost any meal. There’s nothing more bland than a plain old potato, but add some spices and roast for 20 minutes you have transformed your potato into a crispy, spicy, and delicious side to go with any meal.

 Over the past few years sweet potatoes have been named a “superfood” so I am happy fitting them into my meal plans during the week. Sweet potatoes are a great source of beta-carotene, which is converted to vitamin A in the body and is beneficial to your eyes and skin. To make this simple recipe I cut the sweet potato in large 1/2 inch slices then cube each one and put on a baking dish lined with aluminum foil (easy clean up!). Leave the skins on for extra texture and nutritional benefits (fiber & potassium). I then drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle on seasonings (fresh or dried). Then roast for 20-30 minutes, depending on the size of the tots.

 So next time you are craving a salty satisfying snack, skip the drive-thru, and make these tots and extra for leftovers. I like to serve them with breakfast as a side to scrambled eggs, save leftovers for breakfast burritos, and cut them into long strips and make fries with a chicken dinner.
