Tater tots are beloved by kids…and many grown-ups, let’s be honest. This version combines yams with beans and uses baking to produce a more nutritious variation that’s more flavorful than the regular potato version.
Tip: Yams and sweet potatoes are not quite the same, but if you can’t find yams, sweet potatoes are a suitable substitute.
Ingredients
- 1½ lbs. yams
- ¾ cups low-sodium canned garbanzo beans, not drained
- 2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
- ½ tsp. salt
- ¼ tsp. white pepper
- ½ tsp. onion powder
- ½ tsp. cinnamon
Directions
- Preheat oven to 400ºF.
- Pierce yams with a fork and roast until tender (45-50 minutes). Let rest until cool enough to handle (10-15 minutes). Cut in half, push flesh from skins, and shred with a fork.
- Purée garbanzo beans in their liquid until smooth.
- Gently combine all ingredients.
- Spray a sheet pan with non-stick spray. Spoon mixture onto the pans in 1″ balls.
- Bake until golden brown (10-12 minutes).
