LOW-CAL ROASTED SWEET POTATO BITES
We discovered this method looking for healthy alternatives to our usual Christmas/Thanksgiving side dishes. They are so good and filling! This is great as a breakfast hash brown substitute or a side dish to dinner. Mix with other root vegetables to create a more colorful (and delicious) plate, but it will change calorie count.
