Cinnamon Sweet Potato Bites Recipe (Paleo and Gluten Free)

A weather front moved through over the weekend. It appears to have brought fall with it. The wind has shifted. The weather has changed. Yep, winter is on its way. Slowly, but, surely.

 Seems like a good day to tell you about one of our kid friendly, healthy and gluten free (Paleo) recipes. The kids love these Cinnamon Sweet Potato Bites! With the weather cooling and most of the fall crops coming in. It is the perfect time of year to snag some delicious sweet potatoes on sale, or at the farmers market.
 We originally had this recipe at a cousins house. The one who made us try the cabbage soup. Yum! She is quite the chef. :) She made these as a side for one of our girls nights a couple of Octobers ago.

 These are super quick and easy to whip up!

We were at the office for a few minutes this morning. When we came home it was chilly but BEAUTIFUL outside. The kids opted to play outside for a little bit before returning to their school work for the day. (One of the many bonuses of homeschooling.) 

When it was time to make lunch, these were ready in less than 20 minutes. I did not intentionally time it. However, I also had some bacon in the oven with a timer set for 20 minutes. The potatoes were done by the time the bacon came out of the oven.

 Lunch in under 20 minutes?

Yes, please!


This recipe is so simple. It almost doesn't need an ingredient list and instructions. I'm a nice person though. So, here you go. ;)

Cinnamon Sweet Potato Bites

Ingredients

Sweet Potatoes, diced (Use as many as you want. I had 4 or 5 small ones on hand)
Oil  (You can use butter, olive oil, coconut oil)
Ground Cinnamon (I'm not giving you measurements. Seriously, this is just one of those recipes.)
Salt 
 

Wash and dice the sweet potatoes.

 Pre-heat oil in pan. Cook the potatoes over medium to high heat. Moving them around frequently. You cant them golden brown on all sides.

They are done when they look like this. Sprinkle on the cinnamon and salt, to taste.  

We prefer a little more cinnamon than most. It's really up to you.

These are a hit with kids. You could even put a tiny bit of honey on the side for dipping. They are still getting the health benefits from the sweet potatoes as well as the honey. 

They tend to go over fairly well with kids.

 Enjoy!
