  • Mash the potatoes with ghee, then stir in nutritional yeast, dried oregano, onion powder and garlic powder.
  • In a separate bowl, mix together the tapioca starch, chili powder, salt and pepper.
  • Scoop 1 tbsp of sweet potato and roll into tot shapes.
  • Roll sweet potato tots into the tapioca mixture and spread them out on a parchment lined baking sheet.
  • Spray tots with avocado spray or gently brush with avocado oil.
  • Bake the tots for 15 minutes then flip and bake for 15 more.
  • Top with fresh herbs (optional) and serve with dipping sauces of choice!
