LOADED SWEET POTATO BITES

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon kosher salt

Toppings:

Vegan cheese

Bac’n Bites

Vegan sour cream

Green onions

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.

Thoroughly wash the outside of the sweet potatoes. The peels are high in fiber. Cut the sweet potatoes no more than 1/2 inch thick.

Place sliced sweet potatoes in a large mixing bowl, mix the olive oil, add onion powder, garlic powder, chili powder and salt. Mix to coat all slices until well coated.  

Place the seasoned sweet potato slices in a single line on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake on one side for 10 minutes.

Remove from the oven and turn over and bake for an additional 5 minutes, remove from the oven and add cheese to the slices and return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes or when cheese has fully melted.  Remove from the oven and add additional toppings to your liking.
