Sweet Potato Stackers

We are fans of "playing with your food" here at Veggie Buds Club because sometimes kids need to play with their food to make it a little less scary to try! These sweet potato stackers are just like fries but cut them into even logs and you’ve got a building just waiting to be created.

This recipe was developed by Katie Blauser: mama of three boys, wife of a picky eater, and food lover at Eat Pretty Darling. She believes in making food fun, healthy, & pretty! Katie’s not only outnumbered by boys in her little family, but also by picky eaters. She loves trying to find new ways to get both kids and adults to eat healthy while making food pretty yummy, pretty healthy, and pretty fun! Find Katie on Instagram (@eatprettydarling), where she shares colorful and cute food ideas for both picky and adventurous eaters.

Sweet Potato Stackers

Ingredients

• Sweet Potato
• Olive oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Peel the sweet potato and cut off the sides to make it all squared. It should be like a solid rectangle! Then cut the potatoes into 2 inch long rectangle logs. Do this with all of the potatoes you can. Save those odd bits that can’t be square, those are still delicious just not great to build with!
2. Line a baking sheet and place the sweet potato logs on it. Drizzle olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Rub the logs to make sure they are fully coated. Lay them flat on the baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes, flip and bake for 10 more.
3. Once they are done cooking, take them out and let them cool down. Now you can use the sweet potato logs to build a masterpiece! You can even use dips like ketchup as "concrete" to help them stick together.
