About This Recipe

These baked sweet potato bites are designed as a simple lower-sodium snack. Sweet potato brings natural sweetness and colour, while paprika, garlic, black pepper and dried herbs provide flavour without needing added salt or salty sauces.

🧺

Ingredients

For the Sweet Potato Bites

  • 1 medium sweet potato, about 250–300 g
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon smoked or sweet paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon dried oregano or mixed herbs
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Optional Fresh Finish

  • Fresh parsley or coriander, chopped
  • Fresh lime or lemon juice
  • Plain unsweetened yogurt for dipping, optional

🌿 Low-Sodium Tip

Skip added salt and build flavour with paprika, garlic, herbs, black pepper and citrus. If serving with yogurt, choose a plain variety and check the nutrition label because sodium varies by brand.

🍳

Method

1
Preheat the Oven

Heat the oven to 200°C and line a baking tray with baking paper.

2
Prepare the Sweet Potato

Wash the sweet potato well. Leave the skin on if preferred and cut into rounds about 1 cm thick.

3
Season

Toss the rounds with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, dried herbs and black pepper until lightly coated.

4
Bake

Arrange in a single layer and bake for about 18–20 minutes, turning once halfway through, until tender with lightly browned edges.

5
Finish and Serve

Sprinkle with fresh herbs and a little lime or lemon juice. Serve warm on their own or with a small spoonful of plain yogurt.
