Ingredients

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.
1 1/2 lbs. yams
3/4 cups low-sodium canned garbanzo beans, not drained
2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. white pepper
1/2 tsp. onion powder
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
Tasty Sweet Tots

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. 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.
3. Puree garbanzo beans in their liquid until smooth.
4. Gently combine all ingredients.
5. Spray a sheet pan with non-stick spray. Spoon mixture onto the pans in 1" balls.
6. Bake until golden brown (10-12 minutes).
