Seasoned Sweet Potato Bites
Sweet potato is a crowd pleaser, and these bites are testament to that! They are easy to make, healthy and full of flavour. With a yummy seasoning blend (which will make the most of any roasted vegetables!) they can be served as fries for a side dish or as bite sized pieces for finger food. If you have an air fryer, you can use that for a much quicker and crunchier result.
