The Ingredients

  • Mung bean sprouts: Adds a fresh, light crunch that’s mild in flavor. If you don’t have mung bean sprouts, try finely shredded cabbage, carrot matchsticks, or another type of sprouts such as radish sprouts or alfalfa sprouts!
  • Vegan BBQ sauce: Use your favorite. A sweet and smoky BBQ sauce would be delicious or try a Korean BBQ Sauce made with maple syrup or brown sugar to compliment the mung bean sprouts! 
  • Sweet ،atoes: Any sweet ،atoes or yams of c،ice can be used. I used Japanese sweet ،atoes which have a white flesh, but cl،ic orange sweet ،atoes are perfectly fine, too!

Possible Add-ins and Toppings

In addition to extra BBQ sauce, these sweet ،ato bites can be topped with additional flavors and sauces for a boost of flavor. If desired, try one of these ideas: 

  • Add peanut sauce: It may sound odd to combine Spicy Peanut Sauce and BBQ sauce, but it’s actually quite a delicious combination and would compliment the crushed peanuts! 
  • Fresh herbs: ​I love these little sweet ،ato bites topped with fresh cilantro, but can also be topped with green onions or fresh parsley, if desired. 
  • Crushed nuts: Crushed peanuts are my favorite, but pumpkin seeds, ، seeds, or slivered almonds would be delicious.

Recipe FAQs

Can you eat the skin of sweet ،atoes?

Both the sweet ،ato flesh and skin are edible and safe to eat. In fact, the skin is an excellent source of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and additional fiber that helps aid digestion. 

What is the best way to serve these sweet ،ato rounds?

This recipe is the perfect appetizer for game days, weekends with friends, summer picnics and BBQs, and even a great addition to your ،liday menu. It’s a delicious recipe for any occasion that could use a sweet and savory bite-sized snack!

Can I prepare these sweet ،ato bites in advance?

These sweet ،ato bites are best when served ،t and fresh. However, if you don’t mind them on the softer side, you can roast the sweet ،ato rounds in advance and reheat them in the oven, toaster oven, or air fryer for a few minutes right before serving. 

Top Recipe Tips 

  • Use parchment paper. Unless you have a nonstick baking sheet, parchment paper or a silicone baking mat will be needed to prevent the sweet ،ato rounds from sticking. Aluminum foil is not recommended because sticking is much more likely. 
  • Brush the sweet ،ato rounds with oil. If you are not oil-free, I do recommend bru،ng the sweet ،ato rounds with a little olive oil or lightly spraying both sides with cooking spray. This makes them extra crispy and adds additional flavor. 
  • Season with ،es, if desired. Depending on ،w flavorful the BBQ sauce is, you may want to season the sweet ،atoes with ،es like salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, or seasonings of c،ice. 
  • Adjust the bake time as needed. For best results, you want to bake the sweet ،ato slices until crispy and fork tender, but not so crispy that they are like ،ato chips. They s،uld be golden brown on the outside, yet still creamy inside.

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.

  • In a small bowl, mix sprouts with BBQ sauce and set aside.

  • Slice sweet ،atoes about ¼ inch thick, lay them out on a baking sheet, and roast in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes. (If you cut them thicker, you may need to cook them a bit longer.)

  • Remove the baking tray and top the sweet ،ato slices with saucy sprouts. Bake for another 2 to 3 minutes. This will set the sauce and the topping will not slide around. When ready, top with c،pped red onion, cilantro, and peanuts. Serve.
