Sweet Potato Chicken Poppers
Kid-friendly, healthier version of baked chicken nuggets!
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground chicken or ground turkey
- 2 cups shredded raw sweet potatoes
- 2 Tbsp flour
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat.
- Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl and mix thoroughly.
- Begin rolling into small 1” balls and flatten slightly. I like to use a cookie scoop for uniformity in size.
- Place in the oven for approximately 26-28 minutes, flipping halfway through. You can also set them under the broiler for a minute or two per side if you want them more crispy. Just watch so you don’t burn them.
- Allow to cool and serve.
Notes
Note: Make a double batch and freeze the extras. Once cooled completely, flash freeze until completely frozen and transfer to a heavy-duty freezer bag. To serve, reheat in the microwave.
