    These Healthy Sweet Potato Quinoa Bites were an absolute hit with my little boy! He ate them served warm, cold, with hummus, with chopped up veggies on the side... pretty much anyway I served them up, he gobbled them down. Winner, winner!

Plus the added quinoa makes them a deliciously nutritious meal or snack.

    Oh and did I mention that these yummy little bites are oven-baked... so no yucky oily mess... just beautiful little healthy veggie bites! Annnnndd they're freezer-friendly - so you can make a big batch and pop any leftovers into the freezer for another time. Easy peasy.

    One little tip when making these Healthy Sweet Potato Quinoa Bites is to make sure that the leftover mashed sweet potato and the quinoa are cold before using them - it just makes it so much easier to shape into little mini bites! Your favourite little people are going to LOVE these!!

    Ingredients

    • 1 cup leftover mashed sweet potato cold
    • 1 cup cooked quinoa
    • ½ cup grated cheese
    • sesame seeds to sprinkle

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 200 degrees celsius (fan forced).
    • Line a baking tray with greaseproof baking paper.
    • Place the cold mashed sweet potato and the cooked quinoa into a bowl.
    • Add the grated cheese and stir to combine.
    • Use a tablespoon to place dollops of the mixture onto the baking tray and shape into a small pattie shape.
    • Sprinkle with sesame seeds and lightly spray with olive oil cooking spray.
    • Bake for 20 minutes and then turn over the bites over. Sprinkle with extra sesame seeds and lightly spray with olive oil.
    • Bake for a further 15 minutes.
    • Allow to cool before serving.

    Notes

    To make 1 cup of quinoa you will need to cook approximately ½ cup according to the packet instructions.
    You can use a combination of sweet potato and pumpkin mash.
    It's important that the leftover mash is cold as it makes it easier to form into patties.
    The sweet potato quinoa bites will firm on cooling (but will remain soft on the inside).

      Would these work as a party food? Maybe with some greek yoghurt on top?
