Cook Time 40 minutes
Course Snack
Cuisine American
Servings 6

Ingredients
  

  • 150 Grams Sweet potato
  • 150 Grams Potato
  • 120 Grams Grated mozzarella cheese
  • 40 Grams Corn flour
  • 2 Tbsp Honey
  • 1 Tbsp Chilli oil
  • 1 Egg

Instructions
 

  • Place a pot with water on the stove top. Add in the sweet potatoes and potatoes allow to parboil for 18-20 minutes.
  • This works best for larger sweet potatoes (like two large ones), so if using smaller potatoes start to check around 15 minutes that a fork can stick into the middle of it, but is still firm.
  • Once ready, remove from boiling water and run cold water over the potatoes to stop them from cooking. Allow to cool completely. Once potatoes are cooled, peel the skins off the potatoes.
  • Using a large side of a grater, grate all the potatoes, add the shreds into a large bowl.
  • Add the honey, chilli oil, grated cheese, egg and corn flour. Mix until well combined. Roll into balls and shape into tots, by holding both ends with index finger and thumb, then rub/roll the centre into little totes.
  • Using a regular or silicone pastry brush, brush the tater tots with olive/coconut oil on the outsides. This will really help it to crisp up. I like to brush both sides.
  • Bake in the air fryer for 12-15 min at 200 degrees.

Notes

Notes: Make sure to mix the tots around half way through baking

Course Breakfast

Ingredients
  

T+J Sweet Potato toast

  • 2 Tsp Strawberry Jam
  • 2 Tsp Tahini paste
  • 2 Tbsp Crushed roasted almonds
  • 2 Tsp Honey

Persimmon Vanilla spice toast

  • 3 Tbsp Greek yoghurt
  • 1/3 Tsp Vanilla bean paste
  • 1/2 Tsp Cinnamon
  • 1 Tbsp Honey
  • 1 Sliced persimmon OR apple (Optional to grill them)
  • 2 Crushed roasted almonds

Pesto Egg toast

  • 2 Tsp Pesto
  • 2 Sunny side up egg

Avocado sun-dried tomato toast

  • 1/2 Sliced or smashed avocado
  • 1/2 Lemon juice
  • 1 Pinch salt and pepper
  • 4-5 Sun-dried tomatoes

Strawberry Cream cheese toast

  • 2 Tbsp Cream cheese
  • 1 Tbsp Honey
  • 2-3 Freshly sliced strawberries

Instructions
 

  • Method for making the “Toast”.
    Use a large sharp knife to slice the sweet potatoes lengthwise, or alternatively make use of a mandolin. Aim to cut the sweet potatoes into 1/4-1/3 inch slices. Avoid slicing them too thin as they will lose their shape and if they are too thick they will not cook as fast in the toaster.
    Lightly spray the slices of sweet potato with cooking spray or gently rub olive oil, by slightly dabbing the excess oil off with a paper towel.
    Each toaster is different, therefore aim to toast these slices on a medium heat until tender but not too soft. Allow to cool on an airing rack not a plate as they will get soggy.
    The ratios for the below will allow you to spread 2 of each flavour.
    - T+J Sweet Potato toast
    Start by spreading the strawberry jam, followed by a drizzle of tahini paste, sprinkle some crushed almonds and finally drizzle with honey.
    - Persimmon Vanilla spice toast
    Combine the yoghurt, vanilla bean paste and cinnamon along with the honey. Mix well, spread the sweet potato toast, add some persimmon slices, crushed almonds and a little extra honey.
    - Pesto Egg toast
    Spread the toast with the pesto, place your fried egg on top. Sprinkle with salt and some olive oil.
    - Avocado sun-dried tomato toast
    Optional, to layer the toast with sliced avocado, sun-dried tomatoes drizzle lemon juice and sprinkle some salt and pepper, optional you can combine all the ingredients into a food processor for a few seconds creating a smashed avocado topping.
    - Strawberry Cream cheese toast
    Combine the cream cheese or cottage cheese with honey. Mix well and spread on top of the toast. Add some fresh slices of strawberry. You can also sprinkle a few mint leaves on top.

Cuisine Tray Bake

Ingredients
  

Filling

  • 2 Tbsp oil
  • 1 Clove Garlic finely chopped
  • 2 Leeks finely sliced
  • 2 Large zucchini chopped
  • 1 Can Butter beans
  • Rosemary (optional)

Sauce

  • 2 Zucchini Chopped

  • 1/2 Cup Tahini paste
  • 1/3 Cup Oil
  • 3 Cloves of garlic
  • 1 Tsp Vegemite
  • 2/3 Cup boiling water

Instructions
 

  • For the preparation of the sauce. Preheat the oven on high at 240 degrees Celsius. Or alternatively use an air fryer.
  • Roast the chopped zucchini, leeks for the sauce with the chopped garlic and oil for 10-12 min on high.
  • In the meantime start preparing the ingredients for the filling, in a heated pan, add the oil, followed by the chopped garlic, leeks and zucchini. Stir occasionally, allowing it to cook through until golden. In the meantime prepare the sauce.
  • Remove the roasted vegetables from the oven/ air fryer. Place the roasted vegetables to a high speed blender along with the oil where the vegetables were roasted in.
  • Add boiling water, Vegemite and tahini paste. Blend the entire mixture until thick and creamy. If you find the mixture too thick to your licking, add a little extra water. If you feel you would like a little extra salt, add a tiny extra Vegemite.
  • Once blended pour the mixture to the rest of the ingredients in the heated plate, thereafter add the butter beans (strained and liquid removed). Gently stir the ingredients together until well combined to allow it to simmer for about 5 min.
  • Serve immediately with a side of freshly baked bread or pita wraps.

Notes

The roasted vegetables in the sauce enhances the flavour of the dish creating a roasted nutty savoury flavour that will make you want more.
